I had a cataract lens replacement surgery here two years ago. The procedure was many times better than the one I had two years before in a very expensive eye clinic in the United States. Today Thai Eye center preformed a laser polishing of the capsule of the eye done in the US. These folks are GREAT! . And very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
An Honest Review of Thai Eye Center – Cataract Surgery with Dr. Apivat. I recently had cataract surgery at Thai Eye Center and just gotta say, I’m seriously impressed. I was pretty nervous going in, but Dr. Apivat made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. He’s super professional and actually took the time to walk me through all my options before I made a decision. No rushing, no pressure, just straight-up helpful advice. I ended up going with the Clareon® PanOptix® Trifocal IOL from Alcon, and honestly, the results have been amazing. What really blew me away though was the price. I checked with a bunch of big-name hospitals for the exact same lens and treatment, and Thai Eye Center was way more affordable. Like, a lot cheaper. And that’s including the lens, the surgery, and all the treatment. No hidden surprises either. The staff were also caring, super friendly, professional, and on it from start to finish. The place is clean, organized, and they really seem to care about your experience. It didn’t feel like a typical hospital where you’re just a number. It felt more personal. If you’re thinking about cataract surgery in Thailand and want quality care without the crazy price tag, I’d 100% recommend checking out Thai Eye Center and Dr. Apivat. I’m glad I did.
I'm sitting at my computer in Bangkok today. Two days ago I had my eyes' lens replaced. And last night I read a menu at the local restaurant that Cassie couldn't read. I'm excited. Very excited. Cassie found the Thai Eye Clinic on the Net. I had my tests one day in the space of 30 minutes, the next day I was in theatre, and the next day I returned for the operation on my second eye. I had my tests one day in the space of 30 minutes, the next day I was in theatre, and the next day I returned for the operation on my second eye. The process involves cutting a small hole in the side of the eye about the size of a ballpoint pen. Through this hole the specialist inserts a tube to DISSOLVE my old natural lens, and then inserts a new manufactured, optically correct, UV light stabilized acrylic lens. And here's the most amazing part; as long as your astigmatism isn't seriously advanced, (mine wasn't) you can have a multifocal lens. For those of you unfamiliar with the advantages of multifocal glasses, allow me to explain. A multifocal lens has different (but graduated) areas with different optics to cater for shortcomings in both your long and short sightedness The big difference you need to get used to in Thai medicine is the service. It's fantastic! The Thai people are naturally gentle and considerate so a health services industry in Thailand is a match made in Heaven. You would simply not believe the efficiency, the courtesy and the care given apart from a bout of primal terror causing me to grip the operating table like a life raft from the Titanic, there was NO pain, and the operation was over in half an hour. Sight was fuzzy for a day, but here I am, reading, seeing, enjoying, taking long, long looks at my beautiful partner... thank you Thailand!
I came from California to have cataract surgery and lens implant at Thai Eye Center because I am confident in same high quality of treatment as in US, skilled doctors, but at lower cost.
