Cataract surgery at TRSC International Eye and Vision Center in Bangkok, Thailand, offers a permanent way to restore clear vision through advanced phacoemulsification. The clinic is an ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility and was the first LASIK center in Asia to receive this quality standard. The surgical team has treated over 100,000 eyes, utilizing high-frequency ultrasound to remove cataracts safely.
Expert Surgical Team
The cataract department is led by Dr. Pichit Naripthaphan, who serves as the President of the Cataract and Refractive Surgery Society of Thailand. The team also includes Dr. Thanakrit Sorasit, who completed clinical fellowships in Germany and Spain. Dr. Chonthicha Charumalai and Dr. Patchima Chantaren bring additional expertise from specialized training in cornea and refractive surgery at Chulalongkorn University. These specialists focus on precise lens selection and minimally invasive techniques.
Modern Treatment Technology
Surgeons use the Alcon CENTURION Vision System with the ACTIVE SENTRY handpiece. This equipment helps maintain stable eye pressure during the procedure. The surgery involves a 3 mm keyhole incision that requires no sutures. Doctors treat one eye at a time, allowing the first eye to recover and vision to stabilize before proceeding with the second eye. The clinic uses the IOL Master 700 by Carl Zeiss to accurately measure the cornea, which is vital for patients who previously had laser vision correction.
Intraocular Lens Options
Patients can choose from several durable, foldable lenses that do not require future replacement. These lenses are made from hydrophobic acrylic and include built-in filters for blue and ultraviolet light. Options include:
- AcrySof IQ PanOptix: An FDA-approved multifocal lens for clear vision at various distances.
- AcrySof IQ Vivity: A lens designed for an extended depth of focus.
- AcrySof Toric: Specifically used to correct astigmatism.
- Clareon AutonoMe: A monofocal lens with a European CE Mark.
Outpatient Care and Recovery
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so patients return home the same day. A follow-up check-up is scheduled for the day after surgery to monitor healing. The treatment is suitable for patients under 75 years old who are in good health and find that cataracts interfere with their daily activities. The facility holds a 5.0 rating based on 1,000+ Google reviews, reflecting a high standard of patient care.
