Cataract treatment at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital

Cataract treatment at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand offers a range of modern options. A consultation with diagnostics is included, with surgery costs varying by technique. Patients choose from procedures costing around $2,200 to over $6,000. The clinic has over 27 years of experience and has performed more than 100,000 successful eye operations.

Diagnostic Assessment

Every patient undergoes a thorough diagnostic process. This happens over two days. The initial visit includes:

• Ophthalmologist consultation for a full evaluation.
• Visual field examination to test peripheral vision.
• OCT (optical coherence tomography) for detailed eye imaging.

These tests are included in the surgery price. They are crucial for measuring the eye and planning the procedure.

Treatment Options

The clinic offers three tiers of cataract surgery. All are day-case procedures without an overnight stay.

• Standard Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification) uses ultrasound to break up the lens. This is the most common method. It typically runs $2,200–$4,800.
• Femto-Cataract Surgery adds a bladeless femtosecond laser for initial steps. This provides greater precision and safety. It may cost around $3,100–$5,900.
• No-Blade Cataract Surgery uses only a femtosecond laser, followed by phacoemulsification. It includes a free YAG laser treatment for future cloudiness. This option costs around $5,500–$6,600.

All surgical packages include an artificial lens (IOL) replacement and a follow-up check on Day 7. The surgeon is Dr. Anun Vongthongsri. He has 30 years of specialized experience in cornea and refractive surgery. Dr. Vongthongsri has performed over 900 procedures and was the first Thai fellow at Washington University Eye Center.
