My auntie did lasik about 8 yrs ago at Optimax TTDI & her vision still doing fine till now...

Now i am searching around to see which centre to choose, most likely will be going to Optimax since my auntie did it there... Anyone did Lasik at Optimax, any Dr. to suggest?

Thanks 1st!

Thanks, drfrank! The blog writtten is awesome!! Very interesting!

Yes, my friends also recommended me Dr. Stephen Chung & Dr. Chuah Kay Leong at Optimax HQ. Heard that Dr. Stephen is the pioneer surgeon doing LASIK in M'sia since 1995, while Dr. Chuah is also quite a well-known refractive & cataract surgeon... Will call Optimax up to find out more

Dr. Stephen is the permanent lasik surgeon in TTDI only & doing custom type of lasik. When I called TTDI yesterday to enq, heard frm their consultant tht there's especially arrangement for Dr. Stephen to do Conventional Lasik at Klang Optimax next month. But I not sure which day.

Maybe you can call Optimax @ 1800-88-1201 to find out more. Do update here on the outcome if you manage to find out ya...

As I know different branch has their different treating doc, maybe you can check-out more from them... if you're not comfortable, can call Optimax TTDI the HQ to check-out more.

Their HQ perfoms treatment everyday from Mon to Sat...and the full eye exam & lasik can be done on same day, so is quite convenience for outstation ppl like u...the follow-up check-up after lasik can do it at any of their branches in m'sia.

Hope this helps... You may join their facebook fan page for more upcoming updates!

Since can do lasek, then u may go ahead...in fact not many centre in M'sia offering this type of treatment but u can find it at s'pore. It is very safe, and some of them called it 'No Flap' lasik...

Added on March 22, 2011, 6:01 pmAny idea what's so great abt Vista NASA ilasik which cost rm10K for 2 eyes? It is extremely pricey(for me)...done some research some times back, their so-called "NASA ilasik" also available at 1 of the hosp in penang & some more ppl only selling at abt RM7+K for 2 eyes only(tis penang hosp only increased their price starting tis yr, b4 yr 2011 it was only selling at RM6K!). I asked the hosp abt the differences, they claimed vista & theirs are having the same machine!!

Anyway, after shopping around, I still opted for Custom All-Laser-Lasik at Optimax TTDI with their Allegreto Wavelight machine...at abt RM7+K...this machine also used by Singapore National Eye Centre...

The cheap package is the 'blade' or so-called 'microkeratome' lasik. Advance Vision only provides blade lasik. Optimax also has this type of treatment, but i was not suitable & therefore I opted for All-Laser-Lasik.

chocoholic221, very good sharing of your experience! Yes, do agree that there are a lot of ppl out there not really understand the method used & only looking at the pricing only...

Epi-Lasik & LASEK is a surface based or so-called 'No Flap' procedure. This procedure still the highly recommended vision correction for those with thin cornea or high power & it still broadly used by developed countries like Singapore, US & etc. As I know, Epi-Lasik/ LASEK is the only treatment used by the Singapore Armed Forces for its servicemen as it is the safer option with no flap complications.

Both Dr Stephen & Dr. Chuah Kay Leong at TTDI Optimax are highly recommended dr for lasik surgery...
