Since I have worked for many ophthalmologists, the answer I received was they need their glasses to see better for the surgeries. I know-doesn’t make sense-but that is exactly how it was put to me. This one particular doctor finally had LASIK and now is glasses free.

permanent blindness

In the morning is best. It gives your cornea time to begin healing before you sleep (REM can cause problems). There is one unnerving part: The cutting of the corneal flap. It doesn’t hurt (thanks to the anesthetic drops) but when the doc does it he will press your eye so hard that everything goes pitch dark. Other than that its a “cake walk.” Important: the doc will tell you to keep your vision directed at the red dot. Once the cornea is off, that red dot looks like a thousand red dots in a snowflake pattern. Lock your attention on the center of that pattern! I looked to the edge for a split second and ended up with a ghost image around light sources at night. I have 20/10 acuity but at night the image is a nuisance. Post-op, keep your eyes wet. They’ll tell you that. They’ll give you some sleep goggles. Mine slipped off easily. Tying a t-shirt around my eyes on top of the goggles did the trick. Some people stand up seeing 20/20 and some take a couple of days to get the full benefit. Enjoy your “new” eyes.

I am thinking of going for Lasik surgery, but not sure where to go. There’s a few places that I know of. Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), Lasik Surgery Clinic at Paragon, and Mt. Elizabeth Medical Centre.
Any recommandations on which one should I go to??

yes, the military pays for it.
