      Finally decided to take the plunge and gift myself with corrective eye surgery. The intention was to opt for lasik but was advised that the ICL procedure would be more suitable for my eye condition. Did the ICL surgery with Dr Shin and his team and am really happy with the results. The quality of the treatment and level of the service from the team are impeccable as well. Although I was nervous before the surgery, Dr Shin and the team were very reassuring. Thank you so much for the everything! 🫶🏻❤️

      I am from the UK and currently spending time in Malaysia as my daughter completes schooling here. From the Onset of finding out my cataract diagnosis I was concerned as I had previously had corrective eye surgery, LASIK and PRK in both eyes to correct short sightedness . Following a consultation at another clinic I was advised to return to the UK Moorfields hospital where they would be able to assist me. I was recommended by my good Friend Vila to contact the Ipoh Eye specialist Centre where she had seen and consulted with Dr shin .. immediately I called and visited. My consultation put me at ease 100 percent.. I felt confident as he explained the procedures also the prior checks were rigorous and the choices available to me was explained thoroughly. I immediately agreed on an Operation time within a week and felt at ease. Operation day I was nervous but still quite comfortable with the environment and as I watched fellow patients in and out without looking stressed. My concerns were alleviated. I have just completed my final check with Dr Shin, his approach his professionalism highly gratifying. I would not hesitate to recommend this procedure to anyone in Malaysia or visiting from abroad and needing to fix their cataracts Thank you Dr Shin.

Dr. Shin was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel confident and at ease. The results have been amazing my vision is now clear and it has truly improved my quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Shin, for your skill and dedication. Highly recommended!
