Done my SMILE Pro in Korea last week, and was advised to do a follow up 1-2weeks post surgery. Back in SG hence, googled for an eye clinic in SG that does refractive surgery check up and saw that LSC had good reviews. Went with my friends today but unfortunately, I left the clinic feeling uncomfortable about the doctor’s attitude. Pros: Receptionists and staffs who done the registrations and eye checks are quite friendly. Smooth registration and didn’t had to wait. Cons: Dr Daphne Han who did the check was quite unprofessional — she showed obvious reluctance in doing our checks and questioned us why did we do our surgery in Korea (it’s at least 40% cheaper and it was recommended by a friend who has done it and recovered well), and went on to mention we should have supported local and there’s nothing she can do if there’s any issues as we didn’t do our surgery at LSC. She didn’t ask for our memo from the Korean doctor, nor asked for any details regarding our surgery. Proceeded with the check which lasted less than a minute. And when we asked if there’s anything we should take note of and if we needed another follow up, she said it’s up to us since we didn’t do the surgery at LSC. This was repeated when another friend went in for the check after me and another friend. Understand that we didn’t do the surgery there hence, she’s not accountable for any complications (if any). But we paid for the check up ($218) and expected it to be professionally done — what to take note of and proper advise if another check up is necessary based on our check up results, and not just “up to us” because we didn’t do our surgery there. If clinic is uncomfortable doing check up for people who didn’t do the surgery there, they should’ve mentioned when we enquired. TLDR: If you’ve done your surgery elsewhere and you’re just looking to do a refractive surgery check up as a follow up, then LSC is probably not for you.
