Hi Funz,


Do you think that the glasses don’t really help in the starburst effect?

Hi Funz,

It does not really reduce the startburst effect by much. But by reducing the surrounding glare it helps improve vision. So, so long as there isn't a cluster of lights around, the starburst effect is manageable. Street lights are placed a distance apart. So no issue. Only challenge is on coming vehicles. Their headlights may have starbursts that obliterate surrounding items.

I started wearing glasses at 10yo.

I tried contact lenses when I was 14 but can only wear for 3 hrs due to dryness...
In 1999 May (about to get married in few months time), I decided to go for LASIK as I did not want to be a bride in glasses. I made the decision in 1 day.

There was a 1 month gap between the procedures for the 2 eyes. During that period, I had to wear glasses where 1 side is with power and the other is without. My eyes looked funny through the glasses, one big one small.

Done at Dr Jerry Tan, $7k for both eyes

Hi outsider,

My DH is willing to sponser my LASIK :rahrah:

DH's GP highly recommended Dr Jerry Tan.

I will be checking on his website soon. In the meantime, I was just wondering if you can elaborate on your experience. Were you satisfied with his services? How is he as a doctor etc ...

TIA

Kiasimom,

Don't worry, don't worry

I already told DH abt your recommendation. Today, he went to doc so he KPO KPO ask her lah.

So now, I am in the process of researching the above docs and clinics/hospitals.

Then must do eye evaluation, skali not a suitable candidate :faint:

Btw, I signed up for the free talk conducted by xxx at Paragon to get backgrd info. The talk was at 4pm. I had a missed call at 2pm from them. They wanted to tell me that the talk was at 1.30pm :whut:

When I arrived there at 4pm, the staff was so stuck up. Didn't want to admit their boo boo Only aft I showed my displeasure that they put their act together ...

Anyway, wanted to sign up for the free eye evaluation, but changed my mind aft their lack of customer service

Hi autumnbronze sis,


I have a gf who works in the Lasik Clinis ;-0
Didn't go to them for surgery though

[ooptimizer]

Lasik Clinic or Lasik Clinis?

[3Boys]

Haha, so many happy Lasikers :celebrate:


I sponsored my DW Lasik last year as a B-day present, she says it is life changing. No more lens solutions and stuff when travelling, and there is the side benefit of her not having to spend so much time in th bathroom too .

She had been wearing glasses since age 10, and contacts in adulthood, and is thrilled to bits. The irony? I have had perfect eyesight all these years, and now am beginning to get long-sightedness! So as she has come off glasses, I might have to start getting them for myself!

Alamak :!:

I hope your frd is the nice lady who talked us thru the details of the Lasik procedure

Had mine done by Dr Jerry Tan several years ago and told dh it’s the best present he gave me:-) v happy with the results and service of dr and staff. What I really like is how thoroughly they prepare you for the procedure by briefing you extremely thoroughly so you know exactly what to expect during the procedure and what you should and should not do. I also like the fact that he does one eye at a time and does the non dominant eye first and observes how you body responds so he can do an even better job on the dominant eye.
