It is done at just about every hospital in the country and cost will range from maybe 16k to 100k depending on facility and type of lens.  You will find a lot of information on this website with a search.  I paid 35k (each eye) plus 1k measurements for single vision IOL at a private hospital several years ago and believe that was a low price for most private facilities.

In Bangkok there is a very old established dedicated eye hospital http://www.rutnin.com/en/home/

In dec 2017 i asked the doctor for that. Included with a new plastic (acryll i think) lens it was a rough estimate of over 100.000thb.... per eye. In suvanabumi hospital. It was at that lasik centre.

 

There have been innumerable prior threads on this, with many first hand reports. I suggest you do a search in the forum.

 

costs vary anywhere from 18-20K an eye at government hospitals to 100K an eye at the most expensive private ones, and this would be with standard lends. Choice of lens type affects price considerably.

 

Rutnin is  about 65K/eye.

thank you all

50,000 baht ,each eye,standard  lens, Siriphhat Hospital. Chaing Mai,Dr Winai.

 

After 30 years wearing glasses its like a whole new world has opened up,just ned to avoid mirrors.

 

Believe Rutnin is excellent from friends who use their service but expensive in relation to alternatives.

 

Pretty standard procedure at most hospitals  ,only takes about 20 mins in theatre.Chok dee.

Rutnin is less than most private hospitals, but more than government hospitals. When I priced this, less tyhan a year ago, I found:

 

Govt hospitals - about 20K

Rutinin = 65 K

St Louis Hospital (non Profit) - 70 K

Bumrungrad etc - abut 100 K

 

All of these prices being for standard lens and one eye
