Its about 1500 kilometers from were i live in Phuket , but after reading your experience , i am seriously thinking about going up there . I got poked in my eye n September and was told i had an eye infection , the vision is terrible now in that eye , very blurred and badly affected by light. The Bangkok hospital in Phuket have done many tests and given me eye drops , but its got no better at all. I went back to the Bangkok hospital last week and now there saying i need a Cataract and quoted me between 60,000 to 100,000 depending which lens i have , they had four different lens to chose from , i have no idea which one i should have .
