Holistic wellness
EMPLOYEES are the biggest assets of any organisation. Having happy, productive people creates a positive effect on the working environment as well as the company’s growth.
The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2011 found that more than 2.6 million adults were unhealthy and had stress issues at work.
This shocking find is a warning sign for Malaysians, especially working adults, as their declining health will affect the profitability and competitiveness of their respective employers and corporations.
Fortunately, most work- related diseases can be prevented with holistic wellness programmes.

Over the past decades, refractive surgeries have improved the quality of life of more than 30 million patients with a higher than 95% patient satisfaction rate.
These surgeries are considered safe with predictable results.
After undergoing refractive and laser eye surgery, many patients report having better vision than they had at any other time in their lives.
Laser- assisted in situ keratomileusis ( Lasik) is presently the most performed elective procedure in the modern world.
In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in this field. A new procedure called ReLEx Smile ( refractive lenticular extraction, smallincision lenticule extraction) is now gaining popularity on the refractive eye surgery arena worldwide.
Unlike conventional Lasik, ReLEx Smile procedure does not create flap and involves the use of only one laser ( the femtosecond laser).
Instead of vaporising cornea tissue to correct the underlying short- sightedness and astigmatism, ReLEx Smile carves out a small piece of corneal tissue called the lenticule and removes it through a keyhole incision ( measuring 2.5mm to 4mm). and body massage sessions.
Through the holistic wellness programmes by the Wellness Academy, businesses can create an environment that provides a happier and healthier workforce.

This single- step, all- in- one laser operation only takes about 30 seconds to correct one eye and the entire procedure can be completed in about 15 minutes for both eyes.
This laser is fast and uses low energy. The procedure is odourless and silent, causing minimal discomfort to patients.
Patients may experience mild discomfort after the procedure, but this usually lasts for only a few hours.
Due to the smaller wound caused by minimally invasive surgery, ReLEx Smile results in a much stronger eye and less immediate postoperative discomfort and tearing.
The use of a small incision also means that fewer corneal nerves are severed during the procedure, leading to lower probability of having dry eyes.
Most patients will experience a dramatic improvement in their vision a day after the surgery, which will remain stable days after the surgery.
ReLEx Smile is now the most advanced vision correction procedure available.
Keep in mind that laser vision correction is still a surgical procedure that carries surgical risk, although the risk involved is negligible and the success rate is very high.
Be sure you discuss all options in detail with your eye surgeon or eyecare provider before making any final decision.
