You will see some recommendations for Rutnin eye hospital bangkok. I had my cataracts done there. Extremely well recommended but Its expensive, my insurance covered. They also have done other difficult procedures on my eyes , very well and successful. With no insurance to pay, its likely you may want to look at the cheaper options. Look for an experienced specialist and any recommendations. One of my friends here in Hua hin had the procedures locally recently and is having some problem with one eye. The specialist he used is not interested to do something. When you get the cataracts done, consider what level of sight you want and whether progressive lenses may be worth the extra. My specialist was one of the top doctors told me that i was too old to get much benefit from progressive lenses. I was 66 yo then. He cautioned the problem many people get with reading close up as we get older. He said that many people only think of long sight for the replacement lenses. He recommended at my age getting lenses set at a near / reading distance, so i can see my telephone well, read well and use my laptop well. I can see tv ok in home. I use glasses for long sight. I find the shorter focal length convenient for majority of daytime activities. Also FYI, be aware that after cataract surgery some people get problems with vision a year or two later as the sack holding the lenses becomes clouded. This happened to me with one eye after a year or two then the other eye a year later. The answer was to cut a small hole in the sack by laser to remove the section blocking the focus area and the vision was cleared again. The Rutnin specialist did this each time by laser in a few minutes with some eye drops. Cost about 7000 Baht each time. Vision was cleared straight away after the drops wore off. No problems since the last four / five years.
