Hi, I went to Optimax for an eye checkup and was informed that I have cataracts. Would love some recommendations on where or which ophthalmologist is best to do cataract surgery in Penang.
Optimax itself? Vista? ISEC Penang? Others? (Island / Gleneagles / LWE / LGL / Adventist?) Also how much did it cost for one eye? I am trying to compare the cost also before deciding as Optimax Penang quoted me a price range starting from RM5k+ per eye for monofocal lens to RM10k+  per eye for multifocal lens. What lens did you choose and any side effects / discomfort / issues with the lens you chose? Feel free to share your experience!  |
