my SURGERY,---- O M G---


On 2nd of December, i feel there is a cloudy part in the corner of my right eye, blocking my normal vision and give me a blur view. I became BLUR -BLUR
i though it 's just insufficient sleep, I came back rest for 3 days, but the cloudy part was still there,
I couldn't bother about that and started working until 12th December,Friday, coming back from JB, the blur vision had spreaded to almost half of my right vision,

GOSH the vision of my right eye is now HALF-GONE !!!

I am so worried, rushed to my family Opthamolgist, DR Victor Pang in Pantai Melaka, as my symptom is quite similar to acute glaucoma, i was so worried as vision loss in the case of glaucoma is irriversible (cannot be saved),

"HABIS la, i gonna blind" i thought

I drove to Pantai Medical Centre with just the half vision loss in my right eye sensing that something is not right. Waited for 6 hours until i were finally diagnosed,
The first sentence Dr Pang said were : "young man, where had you been all the while, why these things happened"

He also thought it is Glaucoma, after further diagnosis, i was confirmed to be having RETINA DETACHMENT !

Dr Pang said :" i will be sad if it was galucoma as you are my patient for years"
immediately, Dr Pang called Dr LIm Kian Seng, Specialist in ISEC midvalley, making an appoinment early the next morning.

He turned to me and said: "from now, you need to rest until tomorrow morning, every moment counts in saving your vision"

The last sentence before i left Dr Pang room is

"Dr, can i have the operation on Tuesday after my Product Training in Alor Star and Penang on this saturday and sundy? "

He murmured without looking up :" Go to see DR LIM tomorrow 8.30am now go back and rest!"
I reached ISEC MidValley precisely at 8am, after a routine check in and diagnosis by DR Lim Kian Seng, i was arranged for the operation at 10am. I was given a simple briefing on the operation

I changed into operation robe... TO BE continued

and walked into the operation teather under the worried looks by my parents.


"I will give you partial anesthetic " doc said

What the hell, that means i will be awaken throughout the whole operation!

A medicated cotton was rubbed around my eyes before a 7cm long needle poked into my eyes.

i was asked to look up and can see the needles poking directly in....

" pain, huge pressure immersed in my eyes, liquid flowing out of my eyes " i was thinking...

Just 1 word to describe me : BRAVE !

then, i started to feeling numbness and only hear scissors cutting my eyes !

NEVER TRY IT AT HOME ! the sound makes me feel eerie...


However i can still control my eyeball movement!


After 15 unforgettale minutes, i walked out from operation room feeling a bit giddy , with my eyes covered at a side
The whole operation cost me a big bomb in my pocket, RM6.5k.... sigh
