the cheapest place is CMU. You go through the main hospital to the hospital in the back. It costs 10,000 baht for both eyes. Know one person that had it done there, no problems. Another person thought they were needing it and went to several doctors - all quoted prices similar to the prices seen in the other comments. When he went to CMU they told him he had it only mildly and that cataracts take a long time to develop and he didn't need the surgery yet - none of the other doctors told him this. They made an appointment for him to come back in a year to check again.

Got there at 6 or 7 am, had to wait until 2 pm to see the doctor. Best to take a thai with you to make the initial appointment.

what is CMU. ?

CMU is the Chiang Mai University Hospital.

They have perfect and even better equipment for an eye check than any other hospital in CM.

I did catarac with Dr Rachada at CM Ram. The left eye was 100 % successful, unfortunately the right eye has a blur vision even with a contact.

She send me to CMU for a better eye check. They discovered some problem with the retina as well as with the vision of the right eye, they made a report for Dr. Rachada, but did not give extensive and full information to me because I was send by Dr Rachada.

I am now in doubt will a do a lens replacement for my right eye at CMU as Dr Rachada is not willing to do so.

Some more good or bad experiences with CMU. Please let me know.

Who was the specialist Dr Rachada sent you to?

Be nice for us to have a name as he/she is obviously first class.

Don't misunderstand me I believe Dr Rachada is an excelent doctor but it won't harm me to get some more information elswhere.

She advised me Dr Kai at CMU.
