jullchae: The time taken for vision to be stabilised differs from person to person. The SNEC website states that there may be "fluctuation of vision in the first 3 to 6 months while the eye is healing. Thereafter the result will be permanent." SNEC did power tests on me during my 1st month and...

missyelmo: You would NOT be able to drive after the pre-op consultation. The eyedrops they use to dilate your pupils will cause your eyesight to be blur, it would not be safe to drive at all. Do take a cab to and fro or get a friend to drive you. The process is supposed to be between 3 to 4...

Yup, I underwent Lasik @ SNEC nearly two months ago. At my first-month test, my vision was 6/6. So you booking for your pre-op consultation yet?

Stable degree means that it should have remained at the same power for at least one year. Cannot fluctuate, go up or down.

Good that you checked with her. Not to worry ok?

eteh3: You definitely gotta refrain from rubbing your eyes, cos they cut the cornea to create a flap and that flap will take a week to a month to heal fully. If you rub your eyes especially in the first week, the flap might be repositioned! You'll have to wear the goggles conscientiously, it'll...

eteh3: The doc will be there throughout the op. The procedure is so short, he won't leave the room lah, haha. The aircon will make your eyes dryer cos of the wind. But I turned on my aircon anyway, cos can't sleep without it. :P I didn't have to wear sunglasses at home, but the nurse will...

Yah lor, after op very fast go home liao. I can't exactly rem but I don't think the whole thing took me 2 hrs. It's faster than that. Actually I didn't really get a chance to see if the machines look scary, haha. Cos once you get into the room, the nurse will immediately help you to lie down...

eteh3: Don't be scared, Lasik is such a quick and painless procedure, it'll be over before you know it. For me, I can't rem how long I waited outside the surgery room before my op but it wasn't long. The nurse will call you in one time and check some stuffs, then paste a sticker above one...

Follow-up consultations is 1st day, 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month after op.

apple68, No, you won't be going for the surgery straightaway at the first appt that you meet the doc. The doc will first assess your suitability for Lasik. If given the all-clear, you will be allowed to book another date for the actual thing.

winter, I agree, I believe SNEC's prices are very competitive. I find the service good and the staff efficient as well. Even for the pre-op test where I was whisked from room to room, everything was very systematic, no waste of time at all. You're very blessed to be able to claim some...

winter, I think your 2.6k is just for the surgery alone right, excluding all pre and post consultants and eyedrops? For those interested, the price at SNEC is still around the same now - $1,350 per eye so both eyes will be 2.7k. But then do keep in mind the costs before and after surgery...

pps, yea indeed. More patients, more money. My post-op consultations always last no longer than 3 mins and I hand over 45 bucks each time. Baah. apple68, Dr Theng wasn't my doc, but anyway don't be afraid. The procedure is quick and painless!

Dr Tseng is the silent type, everything 'chop chop'. He doesn't talk a lot but will answer questions if you ask. I would've preferred a more chatty doctor I guess, but he's fine also. Most impt is still his skills.

Well, my aunt had her Lasik done under Dr Tseng and she was the one who encouraged me to get it done. Thus I used the same doctor. Do your dry eyes bother you a lot in the daytime? Or do you need to use the eye gels before sleep? Any regrets doing Lasik? For me, I'm definitely enjoying my...

Hi pps! I did conventional Lasik. As it's just been about two weeks since I had my surgery, my doc hasn't done any power test on my eyes yet. However, during the vision tests by the nurse, my right eye couldn't see as clearly as my left. Asked the doc about this and he said it's too early to...

Mine was Dr Peter Tseng (senior consultant). Had my Lasik slightly more than a week ago.

eteh3: I didn't even know can claim as MC, until the nurse asked me if I need MC or not. :P

Charmaine Tay: Other than the power of your myopia and astig, there're other factors of consideration, eg. thickness of your corneas, before you can be given the all-clear to go for Lasik. It's best to book a pre-operative assessement with a doctor and let him assess your suitability.
