Anybody have any horror stories? Considering doing mine in Optimax but can hardly get any info about problems likely to happen. Their doctors' experience is also from 5~11 years. Wondering if there are any prior cases with problems.

QUOTE(yeeck @ May 23 2006, 11:20 AM) Both my aunt and her husband went to Vista. Her case was successful, but as for his, it wasn't. In fact I see him squinting his eyes whenever he needs to read something. According to aunt's husband, even his colleague tried Vista due to friend's recommendation and both cases unluckily were unsuccessful. So...beware. Of course in the fine print of any Lasik centres, they will always say there is no absolute guarantee the procedure will work....but hearing about more than 1 unsuccessful case is bad enough for one single centre. Yeah....It's really important because if anything goes wrong, your eyes could be affected for life. Then again Optimax offers something like a lifetime warranty, they'll do any remedial surgery on your eyes for free, for life. Just wondering if anybody has any more bad experiences with lasik in Malaysia. It's a comparatively new field anyway, only 10++ years here so far |

QUOTE(lim00 @ May 23 2006, 02:09 PM) Snorlax, i think Vista has a lifetime plan as well. Btw, do you have any preference surgeon in mind if you go to Optimax? Well, i'm a total noob here too, so i have absolutely no idea which surgeon is better at Optimax. Dr Chung seems to be the most senior though. Then again, i may go for the RM3300 student package at HUKM, also from Optimax, but by Dr. Norazlina.TLC dont offer intralasik (laser without blade), right? For info, Vista introduced intralasik 2 yrs ago whereas Optimax introduced last year September. QUOTE(yeeck @ May 23 2006, 02:32 PM) Having a remedial surgery for free doesn't mean it will correct things, in fact it could even get worse. There's a Chinese saying of not allowing anyone to mess with the bodyparts from your chin upwards, so for those who are afraid about the risks, better stick to glasses (contacts would be my 2nd preference). Yeah, which is why we're all gathering as much info as possible. BTW, most of the more serious problems i read online are caused by misdiagnosis before surgery, and problems during surgery. Trying to get as much info on Optimax as possible, since there's absolutely no way they'll tell you about anything serious there ehehe |

Anybody went for Lasek? Any pros/cons other than the pain and increased recovery time? I hear the chance of complications is less though
