Gonna blog through my LASIK experience, so that people who wants to do LASIK too can know what to expect.
Pre-LASIK Evaluation (10/11/07)
Went to SNEC in the morning for my Pre-LASIK Evaluation to check if I am suitable to do LASIK. Was really excited about it.
First, they nurse will roughly check your eye sight. Then, they will use another machine to check the eye pressure or something. Air will be blown into your eyes. It feels like someone giving a quick blow into your eyes.
Next, they will check how much astig you've got. That's the normal machine when u go make a specs.
Then, i was brought to check my degree, like when making a spec. After that, they use another machine to check the thickness of the cornea i think. U r suppose to stare into this red light, then the machine will have flashes of lights shining. They will have like a 3D imagine of ur eye or something, and can tell how thick ur cornea is.
After that, they will put this eyedrop into both eyes, to dilate ur pupils. Its really quite uncomfortable. The eye drop has a little burning sensation when touches ur eyes. Then slowly, vision becomes a little blur, especially near vision. That's the most uncomfortable part of all the test. I wasn't even able to see the images on my handphone! Very blur. Then went to check eye degree again, and finally, get to see my doctor.
My doctor is Dr Leonard Ang, who is a consultant at SNEC and Asst. Professor at NUS. He's quite experience in this field. Really knowleadgable and explains everything to me clearly. He's really patience as althought he's having a lot of patients, he still spend time explaining to me. He also recommanded the type of surgery that is suitable for me. He's gonna perform the normal type for me, as my cornea is thick enough, and my degree is not super high.
Then they will bring you to book your appointment. My surgery is next Friday and Saturday. Really quite scare, but excited at the same time. Will blog again once i've done my surgery!!!
TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT FOR PRE-LASIK EVALUATION : S$161.57
