Dr Lee Hung Ming, very nice and skillful. Did my LASIK with him in 2006 while he was still at TTSH. Perfect eyesight ever since.

Is Dr Lee still w TTSH?

Any idea what;s the waiting time & fees payable at TTSH vs private practice?

[patntee]

No he’s now at Parkway. I did about 5 yrs ago so can’t comment on waiting times now. He was senior surgeon at TTSH so I paid more than $4k then. You can google about him and call up to enquire.

I’m seriously considering LASIK surgery to correct my eyesight. Anyone who has done it and can share with me on the experience and recommend a good surgeon?


Thanks in advance!

I had a good experience doing mine in Bangkok. Was stationed there 2001. Did it at the TRSC Lasik Centre. They do only lasik there, it is like an office environment. Cost was ~S$2000 for two eyes, and both eyes were done in the same session. Myopia went from 800/1000 to perfect. The first 6 months, one eye could see a faint overlapping image, but this corrected itself.


Hubby also did his shortly after and is fully satisfied. Later, I found that a colleague, stationed in Manila then, also did his Lasik there with no problems. It was half the Bangkok price!

Are the Bangkok surgeons reliable? I am a bit scared of trusting my eyes to them but the price is attractive.

For eyes, I rather pay more for a good surgeon locally for assurance. The risk of doing the surgery abroad is if happen to be unlucky and something goes wrong or need follow up, then it may work out to be more costly. Consider the savings from spectacles or contact lens your whole lifetime, the cost to do locally is really insignificant.

As with all medical procedures, there will always remain some risk, although Lasik is very established and success rate is very good. Friends and I also have other good experiences (like giving birth) with Bangkok’s top hospitals, but I guess unless you are comfortable with the place, you would not want to be stressed out by a foreign environment. Good luck, whichever place you do go to get your Lasik done.

Agree, I rather go for a known Singapore doctor. But the bangkok prices are attractive. Are there cases where people go for Lasik but in the end their eyesight is still not perfect and they need to wear glasses?
