relex smile: the decision

to be honest, i just know LASIK(laser-assissted in situ keratomileusis) at first & it was my younger sister who suggested me to do LASIK.. most patient recover just in one or two days, so i thought it's a simple procedure (without researching more).. The story began when my spectacle accidentally broke off(jatuh), new spectacle would take at least one week (having high astigmatisme means i need to reduce the thickness of the glass but concave lens/kanta cekung doesnt help at all, thick at the edges & thin in the middle) & i'm not suitable for contact lens (silau tinggi/dazzle) & this time, doing relex smile is faster than getting a pair of new spectacle.. i'm tired of spending more than RM 1k everytime i made new spectacle, so that called for an unplanned relex(Refractive Lenticule Extraction) smile(small incision lenticule extraction). Moreover, spectacle wont allow me snorkel (i just pay for the snorkelling trip in previous short holiday, but i dont dare to dive, so no shark/beautiful corals/fishes for me).. i made appointment & doing 'homework' (just a bit on what it is & other people's experience) about relex smile & lasik. The 4mm incision & no flap in relex smile means faster recovery rate ( there's you tube by prof muhaya & more in Alumni Lasik & Relex Smile Prof Muhaya facebook page, not to mention the overseas page!), so i dont think i need to elaborate further).. but what attracted me most was a video on you tube by Ustazah Isfadiah on 'anugerah penglihatan' & that enhance the intention to do cosmetic surgery(either relex smile or LASIK).. However, i have thin cornea (tapi still boleh buat surgery.. kornea nipis sangat xboleh buat surgery) & large pupil, so LASIK was a no-no for me.. another advantage of relex smile was the convenience of doing it on the sane day without the hassle of coming again on a specific date.. speaking of cosmetic surgery, that means government hospital dont offer this kind of surgery( i dont know if any gov institution offer this surgery, but my optometrist friend said no).. Translated, if there's any problems, you cant seek advice from government hospital (maybe just few consultants have extensive knowledge on Lasik/relex smile) & should your condition not improved in specific time, no doctor dare to give MC(perhaps ade, tp i x jumpa(.. needless to say, in my case,no MC was given because different patient had different recovery rate & you cant expect when exactly you'll fully recover.. So, it's better to prepare for the worst (extra days off from work) & having understanding bosses will give extra benefit (& helpful colleagues too!).. regarding o this matter, i'm eternally grateful to colleagues who help to cover my work when i'm not fit to go to work..
