During this event, I managed to talk and share with people who has undergo Lasik eye surgery. Mr. Hisham Nor who has done this surgery a year ago share some of his experience. He said that he only read information on Lasik via the Internet. From his reading he knows a bit what are Lasik all about and after a while he made his decision to have this surgery. His issue after the surgery was the dryness of his eyes. The doctor who's doing this surgery does not inform him the consequences but only told him that his vision will be normal within a month. The dryness continues until now and to overcome it he will ensure to avoid places that has a lot of dust. After a year, this issue still continue and he has to bring along eye drop everywhere he go. He would like to advice anyone to ask a few doctor and not just reading it over the Internet.
I also met Mr. Arul who has undergo this surgery more than 6 month. He informed that his vision was better than before and having dryness only for 3 month and he's happy on his vision now. The most important for him was he does not need to wear glasses anymore. This make him happy after the Lasik surgery. His advice was prior to make any decision, do a lot of homework and ask a least 3 doctors on the implications and advantages of Lasik eye surgery.
My opinion was, the public need to be inform what is the advantages and disadvantages of Lasik eye surgery. This is to avoid people misunderstood this technology does not gave an equal vision for them. This surgery corrects our left eye for farsighted and right eye for shortsighted. If we're willing to have this kind of vision, you may do so but if we think that its not worthy, we have contact lenses and glasses as our alternative.
Think wisely before you make any decision.
