Just a little update on my condition. After the 2nd checkup, the eye specialist in Selayang hospital re-confirmed that my left eye has retinal detachment. I'm scheduled for a scleral buckling surgery to correct this defect on Saturday.
the silicone buckle is sewn to the eye to keep it in place...the whole idea is to push the retinal tear against the wall of the eye
Unfortunately, my right eye has developed some early symptom of retinal tear. As a preventive measure, today I underwent laser treatment to strengthen all weak spots that potentially can develop into retinal tear. It wasn't that uncomfortable as I expected. It's the exposure to high intensity light beam (I had 217 exposure in total) that makes it unbearable. This outpatient treatment costed me RM5. How lucky we are being Malaysian.
I'll be warded tomorrow for my surgery on Saturday. At the moment I've lost almost 50% of my left eye vision. The sooner the surgery is done, the better the chances of recovering good vision. Oh yes, this procedure is done under local anesthesia. For 1-2 hours, while my eye is 'wide open', I hope the surgeons will talk about football!

Pray for the best bro.. local anaesthetic is not that bad. they will dilate your eye and memang anak mata terbeliak for quite some time !!
Safe & smooth surgery and speedy recovery after that. Our thoughts & prayers with you. Take care.

aiyooo..when I had my lens insertion surgery I opted for GA cause I don't think I can sit there quietly while they cut through my eyeballs. Well, I'm glad that everything went well with your surgery
