Cataract surgery (one eye) in Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital

Cataract surgery at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Thailand offers advanced vision restoration through the no-blade femtosecond laser-assisted method (FLACS). The hospital is the first specialized eye center in Asia to hold American Accreditation Commission International (AACI) certification continuously since 2024. Patients benefit from a team that has performed over 100,000 successful surgeries using robotic diagnostics and AI-driven planning.

Advanced Laser Technology

The clinic uses femtosecond laser technology to perform cataract removal without traditional blades. This computer-controlled system creates precise corneal incisions and fragments the cloudy lens using 3D imaging. This method allows for more accurate placement of premium intraocular lenses and can correct astigmatism during the same procedure. Because the laser uses low-energy nanojoules, it causes less trauma to the eye and helps patients recover their vision faster.

Surgical Expertise

The medical team is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anun Vongthongsri, who has over 25 years of experience and was the first doctor to introduce bladeless refractive surgery to Thailand. He is supported by specialists like Dr. Tassanee Sirikul, who focuses on modern cataract surgery with premium lenses, and Dr. Nucharee Parivisutt, a specialist in glaucoma and advanced cataract cases. The hospital operates eight specialized eye centers to handle complex vision needs.

Full Diagnostic Screening

Before surgery, every patient undergoes an 11-step cataract screening. This check includes the following tests:

• Visual acuity and autorefractometer testing
• Advanced OCT imaging and fundus photography
• Pentacam corneal mapping and endothelial cell counts
• IOL Master measurements to choose the correct lens power
• Slit lamp examinations and dilated eye exams

Recovery and Aftercare

The no-blade package includes a structured follow-up schedule with consultations at one day and one week after the procedure. Patients also receive a free YAG laser capsulotomy if needed, which treats any cloudiness that may develop behind the new lens. During the first two months, patients should avoid heavy lifting, makeup, and getting water in the eye. Most people notice improved sight almost immediately after the laser treatment.
