Lasik Eye Surgery

[Discoburg]

Haha back then I wanna spent my money on Oakley’s romeos and juliets

Money wasted, $3k can buy many sneaker and casio

I lao hua in my 20s leh bro.

After reading the NY time article above, I think the risk is rather high. Reports submitted to FDA show 20% are still suffering form dry eyes. There are other complications that were under report by industry.

 

I didn't do lasik, wear glasses since school days, now also lao hua.

Sad part is I immediately became lao hua after the op.

Did the doctor said your lao hua is due to the op?

Wa, lao hua in your 20s?!    So you have to wait for your cataract to come and then correct your lao hua liao.

Did mine in 2006/7 at Lasik Surgery clinic in Paragon. Had eye infection in my right eye within 1 day after the op. I thought that i had went blind as i couldn't open my eyes and had to rest at home for a week. Wife took leave to feed me led me out of the bedroom to the living room. Best part is i recovered and 6 months later the left eye kena infected. Again another week of 'rest' for me.

 

Should have wear contact lens and do lasik at a older age when your hands are trembling and cannot wear the contact lens properly.

Y then the cornea will be too thin to do the lasik op that was done back then. Now sure now whether lasik still needs to slice open the cornea or not.

Doc where dare to say it’s the op. However he gave me priority to see him for check ups and free medicine till I recovered so what you say leh?

 

Choy what cataract

[Count-Bracula]

Ask yourself these questions:

 

- If wear specs, will u die?

- If u blind, will u still enjoy life as before?

 

I have a few friends who took the plunge & went for lasik. Lucky nothing happen. Some jio me to go for it but i already declare i die-die won't go for lasik unless there is insurance to cover blindness from lasik (practically impossible at all)

 

u will never know when u will be the lucky one.... if it doesn't happen GOOD...

 

BUT IF U REALLY STRIKE LOTTERY ... HOW ???!!!

 

think of the consequences: no more family to see, no more chio bu to see, cannot drive, problem finding job, pay cut or loss, etc...

 

WORTH IT MEH?

 

u only live once & why take such risk? all the beautiful things in life u see now will end if anything happens during lasik. What if tat day the surgeon screw up hand shake? blackout? or watever sxxt happens?

 

wearing specs - no big deal at all

 

Think twice again I say...

 

My ex-colleague went for Lasik and now he regret big time (he's in his early 30's).

 

Now he has this cobweb vision, like having spider web on his eye balls and it is permanant.

It's usually a successful operation. But when u get minor side effects, it's very noticeable.

 

My friend has permanent night blindness and one of his eyes has double vision at times.

He's a doctor but surprisingly, he's still ok with the outcome of the surgery.

 

my friend's wife did it uneventfully.

Looks like the eye doctor you seen not very skillful and good.

 

Cataract is the growing old process la, everyone will get it eventually de. Cataract is not some eye disease that is serious, no scare no scare.

Haha I went to LSC cause of the doctor.

 

I know la about the cataract but still Choy, don’t kena.

What is night blindness? 

[Lala81]

What is night blindness? 

 

i also dunno the exact mechanism of how it works. Ophthalmology is a very specialised field.

 

But he has poor vision in the dark though he's fine in daytime. Maybe in a dark room in the evening (as opposed to night time), he may not be able to see the light switch. He can only feel.

 

Some of his problems stem from the fact that his pupil is bigger than the area they do surgery on.

His one is adjust also cannot really see one. It's like being short sighted without glasses in the dark (even though he has perfect vision now)

He doesn't really go out at night nowadays

Sounds bad, so he needs to be in indoor with well-lited lights. Actually when grow older, seeing lights at night also not as clear as before de. Thats why people dont really drive at night when people aged.
