Glaucoma treatment in Bangkok Christian Hospital (BCH)

About the clinic

Glaucoma treatment at Bangkok Christian Hospital (BCH) in Thailand provides medical and surgical options to manage eye pressure. The facility is recognized by Newsweek as one of the best specialized hospitals in the Asia Pacific region. Patients receive care from specialists trained at leading global institutions using advanced laser and diagnostic systems.

Glaucoma Specialist Expertise

Dr. Kanokwan Yuttitham leads glaucoma care at the hospital. Dr. Yuttitham is an ophthalmologist who completed specialized glaucoma training at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in the USA. This training focuses on the latest methods for preventing vision loss and managing complex cases. Dr. Yuttitham works in the Eye Center located on the 7th floor of the Moberley Building.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools

Success in treating glaucoma depends on early and accurate detection. The hospital uses specialized tools to monitor eye health and pressure levels. These technologies include:

  • Visual Field Analyzer to check for blind spots in peripheral vision.
  • Anterior Segment OCT for high-resolution imaging of the front of the eye.
  • Pachymeter to measure corneal thickness, which affects eye pressure readings.
  • Fundus Camera and B-scan Ultrasonography for detailed views of the retina and optic nerve.
  • Autorefraction and Keratometer to evaluate how the eye focuses light.

Treatment Approaches

The ophthalmology department offers both outpatient and inpatient care. Doctors choose a method based on the specific type and stage of the disease. The clinic uses a YAG laser system for peripheral iridotomy to improve fluid drainage. Another option is Argon Laser Panretinal Photocoagulation for patients with specific retinal needs. When laser therapy is not enough, the team performs surgery to create new drainage pathways. The Eye Center also features a unique eye spa for specialized eyelid care and hygiene.

Clinic Standards and Support

Bangkok Christian Hospital holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 27799:2016 certifications. These standards confirm the hospital follows strict rules for protecting patient information and medical data. The facility provides medical interpreter services to help international patients communicate clearly with their medical team. The ophthalmology department also covers subspecialties like cornea, retina, and pediatric eye care.

It provides 24-hour emergency coverage and specialized outpatient care across multiple departments. The medical team includes 13 doctors who handle both general and complex cases.

Accreditations and Data Security

The hospital follows strict protocols to protect patient information. It holds re-certification for several international security standards:

  • ISO 27799:2016 for health information security

BCH also runs a quality-controlled laboratory system. These processes follow Medical Technology Council standards. This covers the entire diagnostic workflow from automated analysis to structured sample storage.

Specialized Medical Care

Oncology and Internal Medicine

The oncology department provides cancer care based on disease type and stage. Specialists use several systemic treatment methods:

  • Targeted therapy to attack specific cancer cells
  • Immunotherapy to boost the immune response
  • Hormone therapy for hormone-sensitive cancers
  • Standard chemotherapy protocols

Internal medicine covers cardiology, respiratory care, and kidney diseases. The Diabetes and Endocrinology department manages chronic conditions and hormonal disorders. These teams coordinate when patients have multiple health needs.

Surgery and Orthopedics

The hospital performs various surgical procedures through outpatient and specialized departments. The surgical team manages colorectal, thoracic, vascular, and neurosurgical cases. Pediatric and plastic surgery are also available.

The best hospital in Bangkok - Professionalism and integrity over profit. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Bangkok Christian Hospital. This is the second time this hospital has provided me with exceptional care, and I am once again convinced of their high level of professionalism. My first experience was when I had numbness in my leg due to a nerve issue. Unlike other places, they didn’t try to push expensive or unnecessary procedures on me. Instead, they suggested conservative treatment, and I started feeling better almost immediately. Today, my trust in this hospital was solidified. Yesterday, I visited a high-end private hospital in the Rama 9 area regarding an enlarged lymph node. The surgeon there, without even suggesting an ultrasound, immediately proposed a surgery to remove the lymph node for a biopsy. I was shocked by such an approach and decided to seek a second opinion at Bangkok Christian Hospital. The difference was night and day. Here, I was treated with genuine professionalism. The doctors performed an ultrasound, assessed the tissue, and concluded that the condition did not require surgery at all. It is clear that the doctors here are honest, dedicated, and truly care about their patients—they don't just see you as a "wallet." The efficiency is also impressive: I arrived at 7:00 AM and was finished by 9:00 AM, with no long queues or waiting around. Everything was handled perfectly. While the hospital might not look like a fancy five-star hotel, the medical care is far superior to many "luxury" clinics. A huge thank you to the doctors and nurses in the Gynecology department for doctor Sunantha Sinphurmsukskul M.D. and the Ultrasound department for doctor Wilawan Terdbaramee, M.D. Radiologist! You are truly amazing and professional. I wish this place nothing but prosperity. I am incredibly satisfied with my experience, and I now know exactly where to go if I ever need medical help.

A Hospital in Thailand I Would Like to Recommend I would personally like to recommend a hospital in Thailand. During the 17 years I have lived in Thailand, I rarely visited a hospital. One of the main reasons is that medical costs in Thailand can be quite expensive. For foreigners and Thai people living abroad, deciding to go to a hospital is not always easy. Recently, I had the opportunity to receive treatment at Bangkok Christian Hospital, and I was very impressed with the experience. Compared with many other large hospitals, I found the hospital to offer excellent value for money. The doctors, nurses, and medical staff were professional, friendly, and caring. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm smiles and genuine attention from everyone. What impressed me the most was the hospital's free interpreter service for foreign patients. Even though many foreigners can communicate in Thai, medical terminology can be difficult to understand. The interpreters were professional, kind, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. The quality of medical explanations, patient care, and overall service was truly outstanding. For foreigners who are looking for a large hospital with high standards, friendly service, and a comfortable treatment experience, I sincerely recommend Bangkok Christian Hospital based on my personal experience.

I had a very positive experience at this hospital. The overall management is highly efficient and well-organized, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The medical examination and treatment provided by the doctors were professional, thorough, and reassuring. In addition, the pricing is very reasonable considering the quality of care and service. I would definitely recommend this hospital to others looking for reliable and well-managed healthcare.

Iv had to visit hospitals emergency right after arriving to Bangkok, i was experiencing high fever and heart rate. Right after arriving my blood pressure was measured and just in 15 minutes I was admitted to the doctor for an examination. After swab tests, blood and all other tests i was diagnosed with a strong food poisoning (not in Thailand, but from food before boarding the flight). All the staf was very friendly and caring. I has been put on a ward, and got intravenous medication. And after about 3-4 hours i was feeling much better and was released from the hospital with another medication. Everything costs around 600€. Which was later paid by my insurance. I would like to thank to Dr. Pisanusan and all the staff for helping me and for being so nice.

I stayed at Bangkok Christian Hospital for surgery from September 7-10, 2025. The room was very clean, the facilities were complete, the patient assistants and nurses took very good care of me, the price was reasonable and the doctor who treated me was very skilled. In short, it is a very good hospital. I recommend using this hospital because it is better than other famous private hospitals in Thailand.
