if you are one of the many bespectacled executives hoping to get your perfect eyesight back, see
what dr julian theng, leading ophthalmologist in singapore, will advise you about lasik surgery..
(1) What is LASIK surgery, and are all LASIK surgeries the same?
LASIK is a form of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. EEC offers
3 types of LASIK surgeries, namely, Standard LASIK, Epi-LASIK and Bladeless LASIK. Bladeless LASIK
yields the best results with minimal pain and healing time, while the other two options are reserved
for patients with unique situations. In addition, all EEC LASIK options are wavefront optimized,
personalizing each surgery to correct the unique spherical aberrations in each patients eye, thus
reducing night visual side-effects.
(2) Can anyone undergo LASIK surgery?
Patient should be 18 years old and above, and should not be suffering from Cataract, Glaucoma or
any other retinal diseases. Further tests will be conducted on all patients to determine their degree,
cornea shape, and thickness, which affects the amount of refractive error that can be treated.
(3) What is the standard procedure, before and after LASIK surgery?
All patients have to go through rigorous assessments on their suitability for the procedure. They will
also be counselled to ensure that the decision to follow-through with the surgery is well-informed and
deliberated. Upon completion of the surgery, patients will be given prescribed eye-drops to stave off
infection and other possible post-surgery complications. EEC has a post-surgery review programme to
monitor the healing process and facilitate timely response to the onset of any complications.

calibration of the laser equipment, but is generally due to the variability of each individual’s healing.
In the event of this, doctors may propose enhancement surgery by using the same LASIK procedure to
correct the residual degrees.
(6)) How long will my good vision last?
The results of LASIK are permanent, with minor fluctuations stabilizing within 6 months of the surgery.
Patients’ eyesight will, however, deteriorate when they begin to age or experience eye-related
diseases or if progression of myopia occurs. In light of this, EEC offers a range of treatments and
solutions for our patients’ subsequent ophthalmic needs.
