ooh, 8k for one eye operation, I still like my daily disposable lens

fireng SG

I remember when I watch yesterday Ch8 10pm news it mentioned that there is a new operation to help people who do not want to wear spectacles to gain back perfect eyesight but I don't really know what are they talking about because my chinese is not that good.

I think the operation is expensive costs about 8k a eye and can be done within 15 minutes and after taht the patient can go back home.

I don't think its the usual laserik operation whch existed long ago as the news mentioned that its a new operation that has just been invented.

Anybody has any idea what this new operation is about?

BEARZAIS SG

tat operation procedure actually had been around for a number of years liao

it is about implanting an artifical contact lens in ur eyes lol.

i still nvr regret going for lasik , better then having something in me..........

LOTUSfairy SG

actually i am answering this subjectively,

i dun feel comfortable having something in mine eyes thats all,thats why i dun like the lens implantation procedure.

But the i think the contact lens is 100 %vision will become 20/20,not for lasik lasik some people nvr achieve that magic 20/20 and may opt to do another enhancement sugery

erm I am blur..

You are saying that contact lens is better as it lets you achieve perfect eyesight(20/20) whereas lasik most likely will not achieve perfect eyesight and you have to continue to do other operations to the eye to make it achieve perfect vision?

BEARZAIS SG

yup,i think according to the doc ard 90% achieve perfect eyesight , not sure whether the statistic is true anot but i am happy with my eyesight lol.

fireng SG

so you achieved perfect eyesight form the laserik operation?

the contact lens opertaion cost $8k a eye?

BEARZAIS SG

me...........nope lol! sadly

my right eye is 20/20 but mine left eye is slightly weaker

but i am ok with it la...supposed that mine vision haven stabilised,as i jus had it 2 weeks ago

eh with regards to the contact lens operation me not sure i am cant help.

So now you are weraing a spectacle that has no degree for the right eye but left eye lenses got degree? lol

BEARZAIS SG

are you working now or on long mc? lol.

I also want to go for laserik operation but scare that I might fall into the small percentage of unsuccessful cases..eyes is very important to even allow any possible injuries to it..

BEARZAIS SG

the first few hours , u will experience alot of tearing really.then the eyes will feel like something is in it

then from the second day onwards ur vision will start to improve but u will still experience dry eyes and irritation.

but generally for me the irritation still acceptable.

orh dun worry they will do a couple of test on you before deciding whether u are suitable anot.

if ur eye degree genrally below 500+ then after lasik i suppose dun need to wear glasses liao

oh. my eye degree is 800 degree per eye plus another 400 degree "shan guang" per eye..

I am afraid that during the operation some things may screw up if the doctor is not careful..

honestly ar.....i think lasik like only got minimum effect on shan guang coz i also got and is like quite high tat kind....my vision at night is ............well not as good as in the day,but i dun work at night mah..so its ok la....

himm yeap , so maybe u can go to some reputable de clinic bah haha ,find a good docter.the crucial part is lifting and puting back the flap of the eye ...

and i think you shld have no problem lol, i did lasik because i had senstitve eyes cannt wear contact lens liao, then got eye infection.i waited for the infection to cleared ard 1mth and after that i did mine lasik.
