Macular dystrophy treatment in Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital
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.
