Eye Lasek @ Optimax Experience

My experience of correcting my eye vision at Optimax, the staff are very friendly and gave me the esurance during the whole process of the procedure. It is my first time to meet my surgeon Dr DR CHUAH KAY LEONG who explain through the process. It only takes about 1/2 hour as the laser only takes 22 seconds.
