I have astigmatism and have read there are special - more expensive - "toric" cataract implants for this. Anyone had these inserted?

My own experience of Rutnin over 20 years has been excellent with the exception of a basic vision test which (a few yeatrs ago) I found too perfunctory and nowhere near the standard you find at Boots or Specsavers in the UK or at Bumrungrad. All the specialists I have seen have been excellent.

Anyone had a cataract op done on social security here? I am told i would qualify at least for one eye but my 20-year experience with prakan sangkom has left me unimpressed with the quality of service. Although I live in Bangkok I am registered with a small hospital in Samut Prakarn that does not have an opthalmology dept, so I assume I'd be referred somewhere else in that province and have no say in the matter. Second option would be a reasonably priced op in Bangkok. Rutnin quoted me 80k+ so that is out. I could have waited another year or two but a recent bout of uveitis treated with steroid drops has made the cataracts much worse in both eyes.

Anyone know what these birds are? Their nest fell out of a tree.
