Vision Restored
I did
it.
Yesterday, I
had my LASER EYE SURGERY.
It took me
ages to decide whether or not I should undergo the treatment. These past couple
of weeks I just couldn’t get the thought out of my head, so I made loads of
internet browsing, studying the procedures, weighing the risks and reading other
people’s testimonials (Unfortunately not everybody had positive feedback).
However, after a thorough eye examination last Tuesday.. I had a strong feeling that everything’s going
to be OK. It just felt right, although I
was damn nervous! Finally I decided to book the date of the surgery, which was scheduled
yesterday evening.
The
procedure I had was called Intra-Lasik. Basically, the doctor used an
intralase laser to create a flap in front of my cornea, folded back the flap,
and then used an excimer laser to reshape the cornea by removing thin layers
from the central region of the corneal bed, which will result in modification
of the cornea curvature. Lebih kurang macam tu lah. The surgery lasted about 30
minutes and ended around 4pm. Amazingly that nite I was already watching Shrek
2… without wearing any glasses or contact lenses! It was truly
unbelievable! Until now I still occasionally thought that I forgot to take out
my contacts. Although the doctor had advised me not to give too much hope for a
20/20 vision, particularly because of my high astigmatism power, I’m already
feeling so much lighter.. as if a burden has been lifted of my shoulder. This
morning, the checkup result was very encouraging. The power of my right eye reduced
from 3.75(myopia)/2.00(astigmatism) to 0/0.25, and left eye reduced from 5.00/2.25
to 0.25/0.50. It may take up to 6 months for the vision to fully stabilize, so
in these few months my power might fluctuate. Hopefully by then, my
vision will stay as good if not better, and free from any complication
or side effect, InsyaAllah.
So in the
mean time, I’ll just enjoy my newly restored vision.
I still can’t
believe that I can SEE!

Cost for both eyes about 6k. Buat interest free instalment so takde la parah sangat membayar. Memang rasa syukur sangat asma, Allah je yg tahu

Mana boleh lupe dik
Probably tak berapa ingat nama, tapi kalau selisih tengah jalan mesti kenal punye! Answering your question; tak sakit pun. Since ramai orang tanya soalan yang sama, probably I’ll write a post on my Lasik experience. Thanks for dropping by KD!
