About the clinic

Macular dystrophy treatment at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, uses advanced laser therapies and targeted injections to manage retinal health. The hospital is AACI-accredited and has been operating for over 25 years. Patients benefit from specialists trained at top US institutions like Wills Eye Hospital and the USC Doheny Eye Institute.

Advanced Treatment Methods

The clinic offers several ways to manage macular dystrophy and degeneration. Retinal laser photocoagulation uses Argon or green lasers to seal leaking blood vessels. Doctors also use Micropulse laser technology, which is a sub-threshold laser that treats the retina without damaging surrounding tissue. For wet macular degeneration, the hospital provides intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. These injections use medications like Lucentis, Eylea, or Avastin to help reduce swelling and stop abnormal vessel growth.

The Procedure and Recovery

Treatments are performed on an outpatient basis. A laser session usually takes about 10–20 minutes. Anti-VEGF injections are even faster, taking only a few seconds. Patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight. After the procedure, it is normal to have mild blurred vision or light flashes for a day or two. Vision improvement often takes several weeks or months. Patients must follow specific care steps to help the healing process:

  • Eye Protection: Do not rub the treated eye for 5 days.
  • Hygiene: Keep water out of the eye for 3 days.
  • Activity: Avoid heavy lifting or hard exercise for 1 week.
  • Medication: Use all prescribed eye drops exactly as directed.

Expert Retinal Specialists

The Retina Center is led by highly qualified ophthalmologists. Dr. Taweewat Autthaseth specializes in vitreoretinal surgery and ocular oncology. He holds a fellowship from Wills Eye Hospital in the USA and earned first-class honors from Mahidol University. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Somsiri Sukavatcharin focuses on retina and uveitis treatment. She completed fellowships at the USC Doheny Eye Institute and the Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgery Institute. Both doctors use comprehensive retinal exams to plan every treatment session.

During my consultation, the surgeon personally tested my eyes thoroughly and explained which trifocal lens would best suit my lifestyle. The hospital itself was very modern and clean; the doctors, staff, and translator were excellent. My surgery on both eyes went without a hitch. It was very quick and painless. However, Bookimed could have been clearer on the pricing. I was quoted one price but was charged about 40% more, even after I asked the coordinator to confirm the quote was the all-in total. While there were no additional expenses from the clinic and the aftercare guide is excellent, this part was not professional. My advice for future patients is to confirm if the price you are quoted is the real price you will pay.
Very modern and clean hospital , the doctors , staff and translator were excellent . My consultation was thorough everything was checked and everything was explained to me . On the day of the surgery everything went as planned and on time with every doctor and staff friendly and welcoming . The lense replacement went without a hitch and was very quick and painless . The follow up and after care is excellent .
Bookimed could and should have been clear on the pricing as I was quoted one price but ended up been charged about 40% more even after I asked the Bookimed coordinator to confirm the price quoted was an all in total price . Once the hospital gave me the price and I and the hospital contacted the coordinator I was the shown were it stated th price could be between two parameters . Not very professional , I had already read the pricing parameters and was aware I might have to pay more . But again I did ask Bookimed coordinator was the price quoted the total price and I got back the answer yes . Something to think about for the future .
