Femto LASIK (Femtosecond laser LASIK) in Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital

Femto LASIK at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Thailand typically runs between $1,500 and $2,300 for both eyes. This blade-free procedure is performed at an AACI-accredited facility, the first of its kind in Asia to receive this international quality mark. Patients benefit from the expertise of specialists who have performed over 100,000 successful vision correction procedures.

Advanced Laser Technology

This method uses a femtosecond laser to create a precise corneal flap without using a manual blade. A second excimer laser then reshapes the cornea to correct vision. This two-laser approach helps reduce discomfort and leads to a faster healing process. The entire process takes about 15 to 20 minutes for each eye, while the actual laser exposure lasts only a few seconds.

Expertise of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anun Vongthongsri

The eye hospital was founded by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anun Vongthongsri, a specialist in cornea and refractive surgery. He was the first doctor to introduce bladeless LASIK innovations to Thailand. After completing a clinical fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anun Vongthongsri has overseen 100,000+ procedures. The clinic has maintained a focus on ophthalmology for over 25 years.

Recovery and Patient Care

Most patients see significant improvements and return to normal activities within one day. Clear vision typically stabilizes within two to three days. The treatment package includes several important steps for recovery:

• Pre-operative eye assessment and a consultation with the specialist
• Three post-operative follow-up visits at one day, one week, and one month
• Medications and medical supplies for both the surgery day and home care

Candidacy and Preparation

Patients must be at least 18 years old with stable vision and healthy corneas. The procedure is not suitable for those with thin corneas, keratoconus, or during pregnancy. Before the surgery, you must stop wearing contact lenses for three to seven days. On the day of the procedure, avoid wearing makeup or perfume to help maintain a sterile environment. After surgery, you will need to wear an eye shield at night for two weeks and avoid swimming for at least seven days.
