traveldog Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello a friend is in need of correcting a crooked eye problem. Does anyone have an experience with this in Thailand? Any recommendations appreciated. Thank you very much. traveldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Rutnin Eye Hospital on Soi Asoke in Bangkok is always a good place to start. I've been going there for glaucoma problems for 20+ years now, cataracts, too. Identify the problem, then decide if your friend wants to stick with Rutnin or try another place.

Sena Dave Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I haven't got a "Bonk eye" , but the vision in one of my eyes is really bad and has always been in comparison to the other. I was told nothing can be done. If he wants them to straighten it they can , but vision wont be improved Edited September 12, 2014 by Sena Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has seen some doctors here in Phuket but wasn't really happy with them so was thinking somewhere else? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporting Dog Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I had emergency eye surgery at Rutnin (vitrectomy and retinal re attachment) and they were great. My treating ophthamologist back in Australia was very impressed with the work they did. And they even gave me foot massage to ease the stress before going into theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhortig Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't know where your friend lives but if he is in the north consider Sriphat medical center in Chiangmai. I recently had cataract surgury there and the Dr. and staff were excellent and reasonably priced. I understand Rutnin is quite costly. If you want more info let me know.
