Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP disease) Treatment in Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital
About the clinic
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP disease) treatment is available at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. A consultation with an ophthalmologist costs around $60, while a pediatric eye check-up is typically $70. The hospital is the first specialized eye facility in Asia to hold AACI accreditation, featuring over 25 years of experience and 100,000+ successful procedures.
The facility operates as a smart hospital, using AI and robotic tools for diagnostics. Patients have access to eight specialized units, including a dedicated Retina Center and a Children's Eye Center. These centers focus on infant eye care and complex retinal conditions using advanced imaging technology.
Diagnostics and consultations
Early detection is vital for managing ROP in infants. The clinic provides specific screening options to assess retinal health and development. These services include:
- Consultation with an ophthalmologist. An expert evaluation of the retina costs around $60.
- Pediatric eye check-up. This specialized screening for children is priced at approximately $70.
Retinal laser photocoagulation
Retinal laser photocoagulation is the primary treatment for ROP at the hospital. This procedure targets abnormal areas of the retina to prevent detachment, tears, or permanent damage. It helps preserve remaining vision without the need for major invasive surgery. Specialists use different laser techniques depending on the child's needs:
- Argon or green laser photocoagulation. This is the standard method for sealing abnormal blood vessels.
- Micropulse (sub-threshold) laser. A gentle technique that treats the retina with less heat.
- Outpatient care. The procedure does not require hospitalization.
- Recovery. Mild blurring or light flashes may last 1–2 days, with vision improving over several weeks.
The cost for laser therapy varies based on the disease severity and the number of sessions needed. The price usually covers physician fees, equipment use, and necessary medications.
Expert medical team
Treatment for ROP is managed by specialists like Dr. Taweewat Autthaseth. Dr. Autthaseth is an M.D. specializing in vitreoretinal surgery and ocular oncology. The doctor completed a fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital in the USA and a retina fellowship at Ramathibodi Hospital. This expertise allows the team to handle complex retinal cases in infants and young children.
