  Great news to me because planning to go for it. Actually due to budget, was thinking to go to Bangkok or KL to do.. but now, hehehe, SG sound a more logical choice for me.. safer and not that wallet hurting anymore.
  
  My choice should be SNEC, do anyone did this operation before and how the consultant? Can recommend?
  
  How ya feel when in operation? When the machine work on ur cornea?
  
  By the way.. if wan to noe wat is wavefront...

  My mum went .. pioneer batch (sort of) before every other person has undergone lasik. Even auntie also dare to go. Went to SGH, i was paranoid like hell too. Was so scared i cried like nuts. I just tell myself that even mum could go through it!!

  well, it's almost routine now... but... hmm... being zapped by a laser.. kinda scary.. sounding scarier by the minute actually
  
  but i hate my glasses...
  
  my deformed face makes them keep becoming lop-sided and sliding down... and irritates the nose
  
  and heck.. why not give it a go

  My face is deformed too.
  In all my pics my glasses are lop-sided.
  Yeah routine.. i guess. Heard my mum's colleagues getting zapped in JB. She said that after she had hers done. Most of her colleagues ran out. (see above, my theory on Auntie dares to go for it, i definitely will survive.)

  I am waiting for them to perfect their skills. I think there is still room for improvement.

  I was suppose to do it .. during my last visit.
  Sigh.. now that the sun is pissing me off again during the drive to work, i'm kinda upset that i didn't do it.

  MMM.. in my visit to SNEC (SGH RIGHT?) well.. they was only error that was caused by the patient .. ie rubbing their eyes etc. I think they are pretty good, only prob is astigmatism.
