Went down to eec today for pre lasik assessment.
My cornea is thick enough for bladeless wavefront lasik.
But dr Theng suggested that I do collagen cornea cross linking due to my rather steep cornea.
His reasons were that: 10-20% chance that my steep cornea is due to soft cornea which could worsen if I do not strengthen it.
Is it really tt serious? I was bent on just doing lasik. This cross linking threw me off as I have Nv looked into it before.

Just went for my lasik surgery + cornea cross linking this morning at EEC.
Was the first patient for the day. Ate five pills in total. Panadol thingy and gastro pills (need to chew before swallowing. Yucky) Suited up.
Assistant dropped numbing eye drops, antibiotics eye drops and applied iodine on my eyelids.
I enquired about the procedure with the assistant .
Was ushered into the operating theatre soon.
Dr Theng went through the whole process with me.
Right eye first:
Pasted like a sticker over my eye then some instrument to keep my eye open. Shortly, the clamp came down (pupil should be looking down at this point of time) and total darkness ensued in my that eye. U can feel some pressure and discomfort but it was manageable. Then the lasik procedure started. Key thing is to focus on the green light. Vision went blurred and that’s when u smell some burnt smell. After that, doctor sprayed some yellow brown liquid into my eye and I was shifted over to the UV light machine for cross linking. Focus on.red light.
All along, the assistants will be dropping saline water to wash and hydrate ur eyes.
Repeat for left eye. My left eye felt more pain and discomfort during the clamping. And subsequently during the lasik procedure, my reflex was also stronger due to the stinging sensation. But just keep focusing on green light.
Lasik ended. Things now look much clearer with previously without specs. Just v hazy. Took the mandatory picture with dr Theng.
Was whisked outside where it’s packed now. Rested awhile.
Proceed with payment. Was given the sunglasses - wear when outside, protective glasses - so that u Dn subconsciously rub ur eyes, two boxes of fake tears - one drop per eye every fifteen mins for the first hour and as necessary when needed. I kiasu. I dropped one drop per eye every hour after that, two eye drops - once every three hours with a five minute interval for The Eye to absorb.
I left the clinic after two hours from my appointment time. Not much discomfort or pain at this point of time.
When I was home, four hours after my appointment time when I was having my lunch, I kept tearing and felt the stinging sensation in both eyes. It was just constantly there for quite some time. Couldn’t really open my eyes. Dropped The Eye drops and I quickly went to sleep.
The discomfort and stinging pain was gone when I woke up. Just felt dry.
So the whole day, I just sleep and sleep and dropped eye drops.
Hopefully 6/6 vision comes soon!

My myopia is currently 1200 on both eyes. I have done my research on the types of lasik procedures available and Epi-lasik might be the most suitable for my situation. Is there anyone here who had done lasik with the same myopia as me and what were the outcome?
You might want to go for evaluation first to see if you are suitable for which procedure. Cos your myopia is high but other factors of your eyes counts to like cornea thickness and more. Would recommend Clearvision or Shinagawa (I think Dr Lee will recommend Lasik instead cos he conservative he won't risk doing epi lasik on such a high myopia) or Atlas Eye
Sent from HTC 10 using GAGT
I had 1k on one side and 900 on another. Did the transprk lasik at clear vision. They would recommend u lasik xtra due to high degree (additional 1.2k). It’s been half a year since I did it. Everything is good so far
