IntraLase Laser Eye Surgery in Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital

IntraLase laser eye surgery, also known as FemtoLASIK, is a bladeless vision correction procedure available at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The treatment may cost around $1,500 to $2,300 for both eyes, depending on current promotions. The hospital is the first specialized eye facility in Asia to receive AACI accreditation, signifying it meets high international safety standards.

Advanced Bladeless Technology

This procedure uses a femtosecond laser to create a thin corneal flap without using a traditional surgical blade. After the flap is created, an excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues like nearsightedness or astigmatism. The flap is then repositioned and heals naturally without the need for stitches. Most patients experience clear vision within one to two days after the surgery.

Expert Care and Experience

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anun Vongthongsri leads the clinical team with over 25 years of experience. He was the first doctor in Thailand to introduce bladeless LASIK and has performed over 100,000+ procedures throughout his career. Dr. Vongthongsri completed a clinical fellowship at the Washington University School of Medicine and serves as the CEO of the hospital. The facility itself has been operating for over 25 years, focusing exclusively on advanced refractive surgery.

Treatment Process and Requirements

Candidates for FemtoLASIK must be at least 18 years old with a stable vision prescription. Before the procedure, patients must stop wearing soft contact lenses for at least 3 days or hard lenses for 7 days. On the day of the surgery, you should avoid wearing perfumes or eye makeup. Because your pupils will be dilated during the exam, you must arrange for someone else to drive you home after the appointment.

What is Included

Standard promotional packages often cover the following services to support your recovery:

• Same-day evaluation including a consultation with the specialist.
• Follow-up visits scheduled for one day, seven days, and one month after surgery.
• Medications and medical supplies required for home care and on the day of the procedure.

A separate pre-operative eye exam typically costs around $100 if not included in a specific package. Patients should note that certain tests, such as an HIV screening, may require an additional small fee. To see if you are a candidate for this procedure, you may leave a request on Bookimed.
