Lasik Consultation

Did my consultation at SNEC today.

It took FOUR LONG freaking hours!!!! Almost died in the waiting room.

For those who are considering, basically the procedure goes like this
1. One eye test
2. Consultant briefs you on the procedure
3. More eye tests (about 3-4 more tests including dripping painful eye drops to dilate the eyes)
4. Checking & consultation with the doctor

Actually it's not the tests that take a long time, it's more of the waiting than anything else (bleh)
Whilst waiting for the doctor i started to get sian... what if... i had waited 4 hours for him to say i'm not suitable!!!! Then i think i'd really 'bang wall'!

Anyways the good news is I'm suitable yea!!!

The doctor basically showed me 4 options
a. Normal lasik
b. Ladarvision
c. Wavefront
d. Aspheric

He basically crossed out all the other options (with explanations) and told me i'm suitable for normal lasik because i've got fat corneas (and i'm happy cos i get to save money).

So now i'm just waiting for end Nov for my operation, so nervous & excited ; )

And for whoever's interested, there's 0% installment plans for quite some credit cards.

Ironically i was under the impression that my degrees were 1000 in one eye and 750 in the other but actually i'm about 800 plus in both eyes!

And some STUPID optician actually told me that i might go blind in one eye cos of my 'really bad' lazy eye! When actually the truth is my lazy eye is NOT that bad! Sheesh stupid idiot!

yah yah.. some STUPID optician also commented that since i have not checked my eyes for near 10 years, my degree would have gone up 200 more. And i will risk going blind. I wonder why optician have to resort to scare tactics nowadays. Crapz! Glad u can do the normal lasik! No more blur visions.
