Rutnin Eye Hospital is the best around for eye issues.  Because Covid-19 restrictions, not nearly as many foreign patients so queues wont be long.

An optician cannot eXamine for or treat eye diseases. Even in the west.

 

In Thailand they are often not even real opticians.

Plus 1 on  Sheryl pointing out that these places are not even real Opticians.

Also be very wary of some of the small private Eye Clinics 

Go to a Hospital, and if you cannot afford a high end one try the Sirikit Hospital in Sattahip

Go to Rutnin in Bkk...

I accept your statement regarding opticians in Thailand. However when I return on a yearly basis to the UK, I visit a fully qualified optician working with one of the larger retailers. Whilst I would agree an optometrist would as defined be a more specialist and experienced  than an optician, the latter are fully qualified and the examination I have lasts for just under 1 hour and involves tests using  a tonometer , a retinoscope,  a Volk lens and a slit lamp as well as a personal inspection using a bright light.

 

I see this check up as more comprehensive than a 10 minute visit to my GP who may be required to identify my symptoms from hundreds of ailments.

 

I am not and have never been affiliated to the business, but I strongly disagree that they 'cannot eXamine (sic) for eye diseases'.
