Looking for a proper ophthalmologist in Chiang Mai – not a shopfront optician

[falangUK]

 

Hi all,
I’m looking for a proper ophthalmologist in Chiang Mai, not a chain shop, not someone offering a free test at a retail eyeglass store, but a fully qualified medical eye doctor who can properly examine eye health, diagnose issues like cataracts or glaucoma, and prescribe treatment if necessary.

 

From what I’ve gathered, names like

Dr Rachada at Chiang Mai RAM and

Dr Paradee at Sriphat come up often.

Also hearing decent things about the doctor at Rajavej Hospital (opposite Holiday Inn).

 

Any up-to-date suggestions or confirmations would be appreciated.

Please, no recommendations for mall-based opticians or optical chains.

I'll have to ask my wife the name of the youngish female eye doc at Sriphat she really likes.  Maybe just call them and perhaps they'll know which Dr. I'm describing.  I'm lousy with Thai surnames.

Here's an approximation of the Sriphat eye Doctors first name:  Pree-ya-nhudt

I hope that works out for you.
