MJCM Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 The Eye Clinic I visit removes all stickers etc etc of the Eye drops before giving them. They also charge around 200 THB for this bottle which I guess is just standard Eye Drops So can someone identify these Eye Drops. TiA Ps: The Bottle itself is white, and the Cap is yellow(ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Ps: It's a 80 km trip to go to the Clinic, so that is why I try to find them locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gargamon Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2023 You need to go to a different eye clinic. Who knows what snake oil is in the bottle they gave you. Maybe something that they concocted themselves. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it, I see they take it out of the Carton, and when you get it's sealed but the assistant removes all identifying marks from it. Problem is the other Eye Clinic I go to is 160km's away Edited February 11, 2023 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Eye drops are for what? Once that is known Google should be able to find name brands. Lazada or Shopee do sell. If for dry eyes Bausch&Lamb ReNu is available from Lazada and should be a dependable brand (although probably not the cheapest). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/1-1-renu-bauschlomb-renu-i3171251648-s11873093866.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both give me Eye Drops. The Clinic gives me this and Bangkok Hospital gives me VigaDexa. Bangkok Hospital says that I can use the Eye Drops from the Clinic all the time, but VigaDexa (as it is much stronger) only a couple of days and then I have to stop and that is what I am doing. So that is also why I say it's a generic Eye Drop. I am going to Rutnin in the next weeks or so (together with my visit to Bumrungrad) to see what they think. Or maybe go to Bumrungrad for the Eye doc as well because it seems that the Eye Doc from Rutnin also works in Bumrungrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDave Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I'd be concerned if they removed the expiration date. Also, I think @Lemsta69 was referring to and opthamologist (real doctor) as opposed to an optometrist.

There are totally NO identifying marks on it, just the sticker from the Clinic and directions of Use. My bad, I thought he meant one of those Shops in the Supermarkets.

Thx but I am keeping to what the Doc ordered and not going to try some other brands because it could maybe worsen it for me. We just recently drove up to the Clinic and got 2 Bottles, so I am good for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Google Eye drops, then click on images. You might find it there. To be honest, if I were you, I would change clinic. I see you might already be going there, but I can highly recommend Rutnin Eye Hospital. As it says on the tin, they only do eyes. Where better to go? Will probably be cheaper than Bumrungrad too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is also why I say it's a generic Eye Drop. The one from the clinic will be a solution, effectively an eywash. The VigaDexa is an antibiotic eye drop hence the restricted use. The other type is a steroidial antibiotic eye drop which has even more restricted use. I had to go through the spectrum following surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess that is not the reason why they removed the stickers, my guess it's a good little earner for them to have people come back to the Clinic to get the Bottles instead of going to a pharmacy and get it there at much Lower Prices.
