I had my LASIK procedure performed by Dr. Shin and was very satisfied with his clear, detailed, and highly professional explanations. The surgery went exactly as expected and was completely painless. From the appointment scheduling to the post-operative checkups, every step was smooth and well organized. I am also very grateful to all the staff for their professional service and attentive guidance. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend it to friends

I was diagnosed with glaucoma 9 years ago. I was treated by doctors using eye drops to control the pressure in my eyes. I started with one eye drop for my right eye and eventually I had to use four types of eye drops to control the pressure in both of my eyes. I was under the bondage of the eye drops for the past 9 years. Wherever I went, whether it was within Malaysia or overseas, the eye drops had to follow me. Thank God that a church member recommended me to see Dr Shin in Ipoh Eye Specialist Centre. Dr Shin suggested Trabeculectomy surgery to reduce the pressure in both eyes. Initially I was worry about this glaucoma surgery but Dr Shin patiently explained the whole procedure to me to alleviate my concern. I had surgery done on my left eye in July 2019 and the surgery on the right eye was done in September 2019. I thank God for the skillful hands of Dr Shin to enable the surgeries to be carried out smoothly and successfully. Since then I have not used glaucoma eye drops for a year now and the pressure readings in both of my eyes are within the acceptable range. I thank God and Dr Shin for helping me to be free from the bondage of eye drops. Trabeculectomy surgery can lower eye pressure and help glaucoma patients to live a life free from using eye drops all the time. Chan Kam Poh
