what's wrong with your eye ? been temporarily blind ?

hey you will be fine darren.. my friend, mona, she had done it and she survives!

Hey Jum )

Just fed up wearing glasses or contacts , and when i dont wear them - not seeing anyone

its a early christmas present to myself )

Darren,

I had laser eye surgery coming up on 2 years now. It is the best investment so far in my life !!!!!

Not sure of the quality that Bangkok has to offer in this type of surgery but my personal advice is that you make sure the doctor has at least over 500 surgeries as for experience.

I hope you have been prepared for your surgery by being prep such as: Eye imaging and consultations for pre and post operations.

Not sure how it works in Bangkok but it should not be a one day thing where you walk in and have it done right there on your 1st visit.

I also advice that you stay indoors for at least a couple of days before you go outside.

This is SURGERY not band aid that you stick on after.

If your so concern about your eyes then I hope you are careful in your research before surgery and care after your surgery.

Good luck and wish you the best.

If you like more information please feel free to pm me.

King

Please share your experience afterwards..because i am planning to have it too..

and i heard it from my friend that after surgery you can't go out for atleast 10-15 days..

hope everything goes well..

King - sent you a message and thanks for the advice its exactly what i was looking for and the hope behind the journal, someone having done it before and happy.

pinkcandygirl - I sure will get back to you on that, ill send you a message in a couple of weeks when everything has settled down, and let you know how it was. Take care - Darren

Shamu send me a message too, or better still put up a journal so all TFers worldwide know about your experience.

hypermanic - no worries, ill make a journal so everyone gets to know what wet on and how it works

cheers

Darren

Are you sure that you should not be resting your eyes after laser surgery?

Surely not the best idea in the world to go to a party whilst recovering. Just My opinion.

funky house - yes agreed... picking up from what King Ling have said doesnt look like i should be going out the next day.

If you go to Bumrungrad, it will be a success.

If you go to Rutnin, you will lose your sight.

Shamu... Thinking about it, my friend had to have someone accompany him to the hospital, to take him home afterwards as he could not see for a while, as he had pads on his eyes. As King said, you should check all this stuff out. It is your eyesight after all. The thought of it scares the life out of me.

best thing i ever did was have it done. got rid of the annoying glasses. was a bit blurry for the first 4-5 days. but after that was great. just make sure you keep to after surgery check ups to check on eyes healing.

Condotown - Cheers, took note... I went with TRSC

Funkyhouse.... maybe someone from TF could volunteer to be my night nurse...

gavsta - cheers for the advice..!

want to know the reasult...Please report us Tfer:-) You should have friend to be with I think...surgery maybe effect to you that can not see properly for a while...So friend can take care or take you home or hotel:-) Hope It's great result and change your life to the better view:-) Cheer!

Wanika, will do - maybe somone from TF will volunteer to take me back to my hotel safely....? The clinic will organise a taxi for me... but gonna be a lonely few days (

Hope everything is going well ka

Too bad, I'm planning to go out on Thursday...
