that's really sad..

yeah....ask about lasek...it's suitable for thin cornea..

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... 

Hie.. i have done my custom blade lasik last week, its already 6 days.. but one of my eye is blurry eventhough i put natural tears.. the blurry is i hardly can read far and near also. its blur since the 1st day surgery and till now.  But the other eye ok. i can see and read with it..
what should i do??? is this normal?? i am afraid this lasik cause me is the astimagtism. its like i cover one eye i can read, i cover the other eye i see blurry words.

I just done my lasik at pj uptown Advance Vision too (last Friday)... result is pretty satisfactory and recover 85% of vision already... no dry eyes or other infection.... and the price only RM 2,888 only for both eyes....

just glad that i took that surgery and most importantly is the operation itself is near to painless because i am really scared of pain .....
Good luck to mates who are planning to do lasik operation....

And sorry for the fellow whose corneal is too thin... but may try for other operation right?? Implant lenses or custom lasik surgery....

For any enquiries, i am really willing to share my experience.... 
just hope more ppl will be "glassless" in future....

i did lasik in nov last year... i have very high power.. was bout 800 over all the recovery was gud, but i do not have full vision.. my eyes have slight power its bout 100.. i knew that there are chnces that wont have full vision as i did my research.. but overall im happy.. i now just wear glasses at nite cause of my astig also not fully recovered.. so to those who are going for lasik do know that there are chances u will not have full vision after surgery..

I saw an advertisement, about lasik,  from Vista too. The price is only about RM 2000. But I'm pretty worry about the risks we need to bear.

Any good surgery center in klang area? how about the cost.
normally, after the surgery of eyes must rest for how many days?

i gt problems with my eye sight la, the right eye, gt 500+ degree, while left side just 10degree.... what you guys think?? i'm kinda weird with this problem.. and it started when i was in form 4...

o.O there's an eye disease where one of the eye have big gap of degree(like my problems) i cant remember whats the disease name, but its related with my problems... i'll c doctor asap after my final paper next week...

hey, i just went to optimax TTDI...

Need some opinions to those who had their surgeries there..

I was only given 2 options as my power and astig were really high. about 800 power. 600 astig.

Did u guys picked epilasik or all laser lasik ya?

and how much did u pay for it?

cas it was quoted 3388 and 3888 per eye.. but with just a mere talk abt discount, they gave me a RM200 off, excluding the RM200 for recommender. Just wondering if I could ask for more discounts?

thanks yeowa! how long was ur healing process for all laser lasik? did u had to wear the contact lens to protect ur cornea? dunno if its all laser lasik or epi lasik...have to wear contact lens..

how much did u do it for ya?

do we need to pay for the eye test before lasik?
btw, is there any student price for lasik?

i can answer this =)

this saturday would be the 3rd week of me having done epi-lasik on both eyes.

why epi-lasik? i was given a choice of either lasik (all-laser) or epi-lasik for my left eye and no choice for my right eye (epi-lasik)

the reason was both my eye corneas were a bit too thin, with the left being on the botherline and right eye being too thin for conventional lasik which involves cutting of a flap. i was recommended to choose lasik on left, and epi-lasik on my right. After the consultation, i decided to do epi-lasik both, as they said my cornea was too thin and therefore if i were to do lasik and if i needed retreatment (touch wood) for undercorrection, it would be very risky and near impossible.
besides, i am only 21 this year, so there is a high chance i might need retreatment in the future.

i assume you know the difference between both procedures? epi-lasik does not involve any cutting, just scraping of the epithelium

the healing process is different for everybody and each eye may even heal at a different rate in the same individual.
depends on what you mean by the 'healing' process as well. But generally, lasik offers a faster result and healing, patients can see 20/20 even the next day. there is also less pain involved in lasik compared to epi-lasik. (i was out of action the first 3 days)

this is my third week of having done epi-lasik and i am still not seeing sharply yet. the normal recovery rate is a few months and some may take even up to 6 months. but i can see well enough to read, see the computer screen and drive, tho my far vision is not that good yet. if you are really interested i suggest you book an appointment with the consultants at optimax, they will give you a thorough explanation and answer all your questions as well inform you about all the risks involved.

oh yea, i did have to put up with the contact lens for 5 days. it was an utter discomfort and was so happy when they could finally take it off.
feel free to pm me if you want to know about my experiences =)

i'd be so happy if one box can last me one month! like i said, i finish a box a week now, which is very good compared to the first week when i finished a box in 2 days. i have to put eye drops every 15 minutes as it helps with the pain (i didnt use the anesthetic drops given because the sting hurts like crazy!! which is ironic because it was SUPPOSED to help with the pain)

i only get very dry eyes with the poking feeling when i wake up in the morning. thus every morning i spend like 5 mins putting as many eye drops and eye gel as possible if not i cannot drive for the day.

i hope my vision will clear up soon. i feel quite alone in the recovery process as there are more people who have done lasik compared to epi-lasik
however i did found a couple of good forums, such as asklasikdocs.com and lasermyeye.org

=) I guess

How much was the total price for your procedure? Mine was 7k plus (don't remember the exact amount) for custom epi-LASIK
Many people commented that it was too expensive, I'm tired of explaining that it is not the conventional LASIK procedure using the blade, and optimax ttdi only offers custom laser surgeries
