Wake Up Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I live in Bangkok. I need cataract surgery. I have heard and been once to Rutnin Eye Hospital many years ago. Has anyone had a great experience with an eye surgeon in Bangkok and would recommend the doctor? I need a doctor’s name that I can trust to do a great job. I am not worried about price or location in Bangkok. If you know a place I should avoid please reply also. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutnin will cost a good deal less but is less efficient in scheduling and non-physician staff speak little English. No difference in quality if done by him at either place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can speak enough Thai to get by and will make the appointment at Rutnin. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delgarcon Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I recently had cataract surgery at Bumrungrad hospital, performed by Dr Prin. I did some research and was satisfied that he had the right qualifications. I wasn't disappointed, he did a great job and I would recommend him highly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvorBiggun2 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Any idea of costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government hospital and standard lens = about 20k per eye (inlcuding follow up visits) Private hospital, standard lends: Anywhere from 50 to 100K per eye Non-standard lenses add considerably to cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is considered a relatively simple surgery but it is ones eyes. In terms of lenses I know that going from mono focal lenses is far cheaper than the bifocal or multi focal lenses. Do you know if the hospitals offer lenses from different manufacturers that you can choose from? Just like glasses all mono focal or multi focal lenses are not necessarily equal.
