Cataract Surgeon in/near Pattaya Recommended

[NokYai611]

I am hoping to get a recommendation(s) for cataract surgery in Pattaya….Thanks!

Some AN members have used Queen Sirikit Hospital

 

Unless there are special factors in your case, cataract surgery is the single most common eye procedure and any opthalmologist can do it so Pattaya Memorial and Pattaya International Hospital would also be viable options. Waits at Queen Sirikit can be long.

Thanks Sheryl - I was actually hoping you might comment…..as I have seen and benefited from other advice from you on other health topics.

 

A follow on question please……do you know if some of the newest technology lenses e.g. Clear View 3 or LAL/LAL+ (Light Adjustable Lens) are available in Thailand?  I understand that mono focus lenses are the basic standard but multi focus or extended depth of field lenses look quite interesting……and may be worth the extra cost to me if they are available here?

 

Thanks again.

I dob't know anout those lenses specifically but multifocal lens are available here.  They add substantially to the cost, and not everyone adjusts well to them.

 

If you want to explore  multifocal lenses, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital would be better choice.

I'd recommend Pattaya International. I saw an opthalmologist there because I thought I was going blind in one eye. In ten seconds he told me my cataract lens had crazed (like me) and needed laser to fix it. I asked when and he said now. 15,000 and 15 minutes later I had perfect eyesight again.
