Hi

Sorry can't help you with any doctor/hospital recommendations, but my father who was an optician always made me rinse my eyes with just plain warm water with salt dissolved in it whenever I had an infection.

Good luck

I have used Dr.Rungruang Chaloeyjitkul at Vejthani for several years and she seems to be very careful to get it right.

I do use Rutnin for special 6 month tests and consider there fee to be reasonable but don't know any specific doctors there.

As said a hot face cloth on eyes for about 5 minutes in the morning, or when irritated, can work wonders.

I doubt that you really saw a doctor of medicine-ophthalmologist. Try another clinic or insist on another physician, one who is licensed for eye surgery.

i really did see an opthamologist! he was useless!

Go to Ramkamheng Hospital - near Bang Capi and ask for Dr Sunan - trained in America - very good Eng First class. I have had 2 detached retina operations - ughh. Should workout half the cost of going to Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad.

As a matter of information there is a dedicated eye hospital in Bkk - very expensive but good. I think its near Asok Sky station.

Good luck

I can believe it. It very much depends on what doctor you get, many of them are useless. I am a 'patient' for the medical students final year exams and believe me some of them are rubbish

I highly recommend Rutnin Eye Hospital. You can walk to it in 10-15 mnutes from the Asok BTS or Sukhumvit MRT stations.

I have had routine eye exams there several times and they are very thorough, much more so than my health plan in the US. The cost of a recent full eye exam was 1100 baht. Plan on spending at least two hours at the hosp for your exams and consultation with the doctor. The one I had spoke excellent English.

The Queen of TH was operated at Rutnin for her eye problems last year.

They have a website with doctors listed, a facility to email questions, setup appts, view maps, etc. www.Rutnin.com

Negatron, Rutnin takes walk in customers for checkups.  For treatment an appointment is usually required.  I've been a customer there for about 12 years now, cataracts in both eyes, glaucoma both eyes, still typing away and not in Braille.

well they wouldn't take me yesterday, i had to come back today. it was ok- i was surprised they don't use more modern machines to test vision though, they still use those glasses that they drop lenses into! i guess it gets the job done though. turns out i am allergic to my contacts and need to start wearing glasses. also my prescription has gotten a lot worse! -8.25!

Spot on with Rutnin. This is where we take our daughter. We want nothing but the best for her.

Rutnin it is! Call for an appointment to see an ophthalmologist and you get to see a real doctor.
