Hello Bell,

Masama rin ang mata ko, kindergarten pa lang ako ay naka-salamin na ako, so I can sympathize with your husband.

Actually, mas mataas ang level ng opthalmology sa Japan, dahil sa mas maraming Hapon na masama ang mata - kaya mas may experience ang mga doctors dito. Yun lang nga, kailangan mong maghanap ng magaling na doctor, dahil marami din ang mga "quacks" diyan sa tabi-tabi.

My recommendation is for you to go to a university hospital to get a second opinion.

Pwede mo rin subukan ang Inoue Eye Hospital (Inoue Ganka) diyan sa Ochanimizu sa Tokyo. I-request niyo na yung mga senior doctors ang tumingin sa kanya.

At least dito sa Japan, makakausap niya in Nihongo ang mga duktor. (I am assuming your husband is Japanese. If he is Pinoy, then I can understand kung bakit mas gusto niyo sa atin - at least walang communication problem.)

Pero pag-usapan niyo ng mabuti, dahil mata yan - it's important not to do more damage than good.

Hi bell :) . A friend of mine had her LASIK done in 2002 at Makati Eye Clinic near Don Bosco. Her attending physician was Dr. Jinky Dinglasan. According to her, initial step was a diagnostic test to determine if she was a candidate for the procedure. Normally, everyone would pass that unless the patient has special concerns such as glaucoma (high blood pressure in the eyes) etc. Even diabetes patients are accepted provided there are full disclosures because patient's vision fluctuates with blood sugar level.

The preparation time takes about 30 mins. - topical anaesthesia is applied to eyes. The actual procedure takes about 5 mins per eye, in her case. She was required to wear a special shades provided by the clinic to prevent accidental touching/scratching of the eyes. She was also prohibited to wet her eyes & no swimming for a month. It cost her P65,000 (2002) for the entire process - diagnosis, surgery and follow up check ups (1-2x) for the remainder of the year. She has an annual retinal check-up which costs about P1.5k for precautionary measures. She said other patients skip on this procedure but she feels the need to do it after being `blind` for the most part of her life (refraction-850 per eye). Based on her last check up, she now has a 15-20 vision, better than the usual 20-20, and happy with the result.

Also i was told, there is a new machine which can now correct myopia at the same time to address the progressive far sightedness due to age. Additional info lang, in case it applies to your husband's present eye condition . Makati Eye's phone is +63 2 8931152.

Btw, try to check also links on medical tourism (medication with tour packages). Wala akong info to share on this, pero additional option lang for your family in case interested :).

hi bell,

i heard ok daw sa st. lukes. maganda rin feedback about asian hospital (in alabang)...u can also check asian eye institute....u can check all about them from the internet.

recently, my friend had a laser operation but not under any of the above. one of the doctors is her uncle actually. they're a pool of really good eye especialists...if you're really interested, i'll get the number from my friend...will give it to you later since she's not here now in the office.

my friend's eyes are ok now. she got a 20-20 vision now.

You're welcome. Share ko lang yung asawa ko, nagpa-LASIK din pala sya dito sa Nihon. 40,0000 en ang inabot. Medyo reluctant sya nung kinwento ko yung plan nyo sa Pilipinas. Makakamura nga daw pero hindi daw kaya medyo nakakatakot. Hindi sa abilidad ng pinoy doctors pero sa aspeto naman ito ng communication, gaya ng sabi ni Pointblank.

Ano man ang maging decision ninyong mag-asawa, good luck. :)

[Dax]

40,0000 en ang inabot.Di kaya 400,000 en? :confused:

@bell
May websites akong nahanap tungkol sa LASIK, baka useful sa mister mo:

@dax 400,000 en, gomen.

@bell, 5 years ago sya nagpa-LASIK. Sobra laking improvement talaga, maganda yung technology. Grateful sya kasi talagang na-correct yung vision nya. Hindi ko lang nakulit kung ano yung refraction nung mata nya before. Downside lang hindi sya pwedeng ipasok sa hoken. Hindi daw kasi ito kinu-consider na illness. Medyo confused ako sa part na ito. Pero baka may makapag-linaw dito na ibang members. :)

[Dax]

Downside lang hindi sya pwedeng ipasok sa hoken. Hindi daw kasi ito kinu-consider na illness.Ganun din sabi dun sa loob ng 2nd link na binigay ko. (http://www.lasik-japan.jp/price.html) レーシックは健康保険が使えない治療です。 Kung pumasok siya sa life insurance depende daw sa company pwedeng covered ang bayad. あなたが生命保険や医療保険に加入している 場合、レーシックが手術給付金の対象になる 場合もあります。事前に保険会社に問い合わ せておくとよいでしょう。Ma tagal na din akong interesado sa LASIK na yan, pero:
1. takot ako sa complications
2. mahal :p
3. takot ako baka pumalpak - hindi 100% ng pasyente satisfied
According to a 2005 survey, 92.2% of patients reported that they were satisfied or very satisfied with their surgery(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LASIK)
Pano kung malasin at mapasama ka sa 7.8% na dissatisfied? :D

[Galadriel]

Siguro it will help a lot if you will read a few materials before deciding to go for it or not. Para more or less, you know what to expect. My friend said the Makati clinic i previously mentioned is giving reading materials explaining the procedure. I think this is helpful. If a candidate could not understand something, it is best to ask the doctors directly. They also advise their patients that the procedure is low-risk to no-risk provided you are diagnosed correctly and you follow all precautionary measures prescribed. But then again, the risk is still there.

hello Bell,
Share ko lang yung experience ko, I'm a caregiver of 82 years old na lolo, ang doctor nya sa mata ay espesyalista sa AEI (Asian Eye Institute) naisalba nito yung isa nyang mata, yung isa di na makakita dahil napabayaan sa isa sa sikat na hospital ng Maynila. Mabuti na lang may nagpayo sa kanya dun sa AEI located sa Rockwell Center sa Makati. Mayroon din yata silang website di ko lang alam kung ano. isang beses nasamahan ko siya dito with accompany of his nurse. maraming foreigner na nagpapacheck-up tumatanggap din sila ng mga insurance fromI think Japan Comp. yun.

[bell]

maraming salamat talaga sa lahat ng nag reply.kinausap ko po ang asawa ko na dito na lang sa japan sya magpaopera.kasi kung sa pinas ang dami ng di nya maiintindihan kasi di naman sya pinoy and halos pareho lang din nang gastos kung sa pinas kami pupunta.at least dito sa japan magkakaintindihan talaga sila ng doctor.:D

[honey]

hi! bell ang maitutulong ko lang o namin sayo ay dasal sana makuha sa operation yan.:)

[barabara]

Hello bell, iyan din sana sasabihin ko sa iyo, mas magaling dito sa Japan, lalo na kung makakita kayo ng mahusay na Dr.. iyong biyanan ko nagpaopera ng mata dahil mabilis ang paglabo, ngayon di na siya nagsasalamin, pag magbabasa lang.. kahit na iyong ina ng boss ko sa work ko dati ,okey din ang operasyon, idad niya 86 di rin nagsasalamin pag nagbabasa lang.. husay dito at may hoken pa..Goodluck sa husband mo..god bless..:wave:
