Every patient who has undergone surgery at TRSC receives a package that includes 5 follow-ups (1 day,
1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year after surgery).
These follow-ups are for the following purposes:
-
1 day, to evaluate the surgical process and wound.
-
1 week, to check initial results and review possible side effects.
-
1 month, to test and examine the results of visual correction.
-
3 months, to ensure the prescription and vision results are as planned.
-
1 year, to recheck eye prescription and general eye health.
3. Annual Eye Check Up
Many eye diseases do not show any symptoms until it becomes serious. Unfortunately, in many of these cases, the eye may never fully heal again. However, early detection and treatment may delay or fully treat most eye diseases. For example, glaucoma can be detected in patients aged over 40 years old without any symptoms.

For those with abnormal eyesight, there is greater risk of some eye diseases. It is recommended to have an eye check up annually.
-
For those with regular eyesight and under 40 years old, it is recommended to have an eye check up once every two years.
