I'm early 20s, just went for lasik with EEC and asked for Dr Lim Wee Kiak. I did Femtolasik + CXL which was recommended due to my astig. I did quite a lot of reading here and on other sources before making my choice to do lasik and I wanna give back so I'm writing this post about my experience.
Previously my eyes had 375 degrees left and 450 degrees right hyperopia (far sighted) with 175 left and 250 right degree astigmatism. Dr Lim actually said that I have a very rare case since not many people my age are far sighted with high astig. He was very professional in explaining the procedures before the surgery and I felt quite reassured during the surgery as he would give a heads up of what is going to happen and how long it would take to complete and the staff gave a countdown for each procedure.
Currently a few days into recovery, my eyesight for things near is good, I can read text at a near distance very well. I'm a programmer so being able to read is good enough for me to continue my job.
As for side effects, I did not really experience much of an issue with dry eyes, my eyes feel normal though I do still have the halo effect at night, it's slight but I'm kinda used to it due to my astig but I still don't have very good vision when driving at night, the 4th or 5th car in front will look a bit blurry but I can see well enough in my direct vicinity to drive. There are some red marks around my eye from the surgery that have been slowly going away.
I'm quite satisfied with my results for now, and I do still subconsciously look for my specs sometimes
and hopefully I'll fully recover within a month or two and get the 'HD vision' most people talked about.
