fred Kubasa Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Does anyone know if Banglamung Govt. Hospital in Chonburi or Pattaya City Hospital in Pattaya perform catarac removal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowretired Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 This would be best place in the Health forum. Ask one of the mods to move your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 You might want to Google this topic (cataract removal) on Thai Visa. There are several extensive threads on the topic and reading through them will save you the time of thinking of and asking various questions about the procedure and give you access to many members' opinions after having them removed. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I know the OP is talking about Pattaya but suspect it is best to move this to the health forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Can not provide personal verification but expect all full hospitals perform such operations - it is required by most people these days with our longer lifespan. And is basically a very inexpensive and safe procedure if using the basic IOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukDod Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Many consider the Rutnin Clinic, in Bangkok, the best eyes only speciality hospital in Thailand. I was quoted 5,500-Bt, per eye, for IOL. Not really inexpensive, yet very experienced surgeons. Can not provide personal verification but...it is basically a very inexpensive and safe procedure if using the basic IOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 You have posted incorrect amount I fear - no way did they quote 5,500 baht for IOL operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya1234was Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 55,000 baht at Rutnin more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Even if they do cataracts there I would not advise it as these are district level hospitals. The government hospital in Chonburi town is a regional hospital and would be a good choice if you want to do this in a government hospital. Queen Sirikit would also be an option though I believe they may have started two tier rpicing so that Chonburi regional hospital might be less. Not sure if at a government hospital you will have full range of options for type of lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sheryl: Thanks for your comment. I had single-vision lenses installed at Bumrungrad but find that over the years my vision has been getting progressively weaker. I guess that changing the lenses may not be possible or fraught with danger but I wish that they had discussed the option of various lenses with me. Of course, I have the prescription of my bifocals adjusted to compensate for the increasing weakness. Do you know of any other solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve187 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 In the UK on the NHS you get no choice of lens, so i would guess in Thailand only the expensive solutions would give you a choice,. that would rule out Government hospitals, but i could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have multi-focal lenses in both eyes great to not wear glasses any longer I had it done outside LOS but 55,000 sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had a thorough evaluation to find out the cause of your deteroriating eyesight (by an opthalamologist, not just a vision test by an optomitrist)? And when you say getting progressively weaker what exactly do you mean: just more and more farsightedness, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
