wow...so long...no wonder i thot u went miaOriginally posted by monkeybusiness:oh...it's a long story...but i will still say
basically, you will do a pre-lasik evaluation first...then after that, the doc will identify which type of lasik is suitable for u. Then u can ask all qns u want, then the doc will tell u the ans... he will also share with u what are the risks involved.
Then after that, u book a date for the surgery. (For me, the surgery is the day after the pre-lasik evaluation.)
On the day of surgery, you will first pay the fees(can pay by instalments) and u need to purchase the anti-biotic and eyedrops.
After that, you will be ushered to a waiting area for your turn to go into the operating theatre.
A few mins before u enter the ops theatre, the nurse will help u to put on surgical gowns and surgical cap. Then will use cotton ball with iodine and alcohol to wipe your eyelids and also the eyedrop to numb your eyeball.
After that, you will be on your way into the ops room liao.
Once inside, doc will ask u to lie down on the bed. He will align the bed so that your eye is in line with the path of the laser. He will ask you to keep staring at a red blinking light.
First of all, he will use a clear tape to tape your eyelashes so that it will not obstruct the way. After that, he will place a suction ring on your eyeball and use pressure to suck your eyeball and your vision will blackout for a while. After that, he will use a device to cut open the layer of cornea flap. (You will be able to see what is the doc doing cos your eyes are open
)
After which, once the flap is open(you can see the flap being cut open), the doc will ask u to keep staring at the red blinking light and don't look anywhere else liao cos this is the most crucial part as the laser will be shot.
After that, you will hear the sound of the laser liao...(piak piak piak...) the speed of the laser will change..starting is very fast rate...then after that, the laser will slow down as it nears completion.
After that, the doc will say laser 100% done. Then he will cover the flap back and use a surgical tool to even out the surface of the cornea to remove any air bubbles if any and he will place a 0-degree contact lens on the cornea so as to protect the cornea flap.
After that, the clear tape is removed and he will proceed to the nxt eye liao..
After both eyes are done, you will be able to see things without your glasses liao but the images are very hazy. Just need to go home and sleep and nxt day will be clear vision liao
The nxt day, you will need to go back for evaluation. Then the doc will check your cornea and remove the 0-degree contact lens for u.
That's about all. Then the doc will schedule a second evaluation for u to go back for checkup. -
oh yes, and btw, there are a few different kinds of lasik technology for different eye conditions.
I did the one called "Wavefront Lasik", which will take measurements of the eyeball and it works better for ppl with high astigmatism.
My aunt also did lasik at the same time as mine. However, her condition is one eye see near, one eye see far. This condition is called "mono-vision".
Your doc will do the evaluation and will tell u which type of condition is your eye (thick or thin cornea, high astigmatism or high myopia, etc) and which type of lasik is more suitable for u. -
ok, bbl again

actually hor, the surgery is very fast oneOriginally posted by Ferret:how long was the process ... ? from the start of surgery (including waiting time ??)

my scheduled surgery time was 6.30pm.
I reach the clinic at 6pm..registered my attendance. den did all the admin stuff...took about 10mins.
then after that, i was brought to the waiting area and that part is the most torturous part. I actually waited in the surgery room for close to 3 hours.
I entered the waiting room at around 6.15pm and waited till around 10pm then i go into the surgical room.
Once inside the surgery room, the surgery was quite fast. For both eyes, i think it took only a total of 15 mins max.
My feeling was from very nervous and excited to becoming numb
no leh...no nightmares...why should i have nightmares?
my father was there to pick me up after the surgery.
i paid for around 3.6k for the surgery and another 100 for the eyedrop and anti-biotic. (It actually depends on the type of lasik technology that you are going to do..different technology will cost different).
I did it at "The Lasik Clinic". located at paragon upstairs level 13. There got alot of chiobus.
pct and wanda oso know there got alot of chiobus -
