  Yeah that's what BeNo wanted to do until the prices started to drop in here so he decided to do it here instead but i think for sure prices would be more competitive in Bangkok lor. Except the reliability lor.

  for those with seriois myopia(eg 500,600+) u cant fully restore...
  
  and even if u have the money to burn for it, u may not be allowed to take the surgery because not everyone's suitable for it..

  super high power might need to go for the wavefront Lasik..

  Actually the majority of people would be ok for it.
  I think it depends on the health of your eye. 500.. hmmm.. i think it's slam dunk case for the doctors. I think if more than 1000.. or high astigmatism that they need to go further correction. Or whatever he called it.
  The first consultation is about $120 or something if you dont' carry on. Would be valid for 3mths (wavefront) and 6mths (lasik).
  Depending on your condition they would recommend wavefront or lasik would be sufficient.
