Hi, i did lasik more than 8 years ago, and the results have been
good, despite my high astigmatism (200-300 degrees in each eye) and
myopia (600-700 degrees). I don't wear contact lens anymore. Only
when i'm driving at night, I wear specs (right eye 100
degrees).
I must say the wonderful thing about doing lasik is that I am no
longer dependent on contact lens or specs, especially inconvenient
on holidays or when doing sports. I no longer get the red eye
effect due to eye infection (either aircon in office dried up eyes
or contact lens discomfort).
My surgeon was Dr Chan Wing Kwong. He was very professional and
skillful. He used to be in SNEC, but i think he is now in
Camden.
Anyway, think about it carefully whether you need lasik. As with
any surgical procedure, it carries risk. So be very sure you want
to do this. And always operate on one eye first (not both at the
same time).
Lasik is wonderful for people with high degrees. Those with low
degrees generally don't see so much of a difference in their
lives.
