relex smile: the day of surgery

it started with adrenaline rush.. Sultan Ismail Petra airport was crowded more than usual, i arrive late & barely had time before the boarding gate was closed.. long story cut short, i arrive at the centre around 1.20pm.. Had several eye assessment tests, from one machine to another machine.. Certainly more sophisticated than the one i had in Penang(my friend recommend that shop & i got great saving thanks to her).. once done, the staff at counter explain about the payment.. however, due to time constraint, i was called for the procedure.. no time to feel nervous or whatsoever, i went straight to the room, wear the gown and cap(much like the attire in the operation theater/ICU.. briefly being explained about what to do by the staffs(focus on the dot after the "Suction on " by the machine), laid on the stroller ( much like the CT Scan machine), face being cleaned by the staff, the stroller rotate 90 degree below thwe machine (i think it's Carl Zeiss machine), the doctor came & the procedure started(with bismillah & zikir) .. after few minutes, the surgery finished & i was allowed to go outside..my first sight after the surgery were the image of the doctor & my father outside the room, blur & foggy .. rest for a while, settle the payment halfway, meet the doctor(to see if there was any improvement in vision) & then finish the payment.. were given Vigamox eyedrop(antibiotic,taken 4times/day for 1 week, together with Maxidex eyedrop(sterooi with antiinflammatory properties), naturale tears & systane eyedrop(both as lubricant).. cant replace naturale tears with eye mo since eye mo had preservative.. was given a piece of paper on what to do before & after lasik but i cant read, so i dont really care until someone helped me to read it.. discharged home not long after that... i forgot to bring sunglass (not provided & nobody told me before the procedure(even the staff yang handle appointment pun xcakap).. Lucky i met a kind doctor who came for her relex smile follow up, she gave me a ride to the nearest destination.. overall, the doctor & optometrist were extremely good but the flow wasnt a smooth one.. nobody told me exactly what the do's and don't after the surgery.. what the point of giving a sheet of paper when the patient cant read?? & more disappointed because i had long recovery but the staff promised something but never do it! so, i think there's not much difference between government staffs & private staffs.. except, perhaps those in private earn more..o in one of clinic in Singapore, the patients were given chance to watch the video first(on how the procedure were performed), & then they completely go blind after surgery (even the eyes were plastered), were given care kit including protective goggle to wear during sleep & sunglass to wear outdoor, plus the face kit(items to clean the face/specifically eyes & the normal medications... most clients/patients were satisfied with the staffs & the outcome (if go blind for the first few days can aid in sepedy recovery, why peedy recovery, why not apply it?).. so, for more info, pwrhaps blog reviews from Singapore can help!
