PART 1 OF 2 – The long awaited video. I had trouble uploading so here it is. Finally! I had intralase eye surgery which is performed blade-less compared to lasik surgery. The recovery time on this type of surgery is 1 day while lasik’s recovery time is 8 days. This particular type of surgery is frequently used for astronauts and pilots. After my procedure I saw very blurry and experienced a lot of tearing and was very sensitive to the light. All I had to do is close my eyes for 3 hours the same day and when I awoke, everything cleared up and I saw 20/20. Has to be one of the best things I’ve done aside to many others. I did my surgery at bogotalaser.com It is located at Bogota Colombia. This place is very upscale with all the latest technology. Highly recommendable. I paid $1350 US dollars. I saved myself a lot of money compared to the prices here in the US To find out more about intralase please visit: www.abbottmedicaloptics.com DONT FORGET TO WATCH PART 2!!
The DR removes my flap that was cut from the first part of the surgery, then the laser “fixes” my eyeball. While the laser fixes my eyes, I can smell burning eye, it kind of smells like burning hair…
I made this video in hopes that it would help someone make the decision about getting LASIK. No one really talks about the details of the surgery so I wanted to show everyone how it went down, from beginning to end. If you have any questions about my experience, feel free to send me a message. Thanks and I hope this video helps!
The decision to have Lasik is not an easy one. However, once I decided to have it. I was so immensely happy with the outcome. Please note this is all for educational reference. Nothing more.
13th April 2009: Zamil Idris goes through a bladeless lasik procedure at Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur. This is the latest lasik procedure and it is spearheaded by Prof Dr Muhaya Mohamed.
