ReLEx SMILE eye surgery in TRSC International Eye and Vision Center
About the clinic
ReLEx SMILE eye surgery at TRSC International Eye and Vision Center in Bangkok, Thailand, is a minimally invasive laser vision correction for myopia and astigmatism. This flapless procedure uses the VisuMax femtosecond laser to correct vision through a tiny incision of only 2–3 mm. The clinic is known for its high success rate, with 99.6% of patients achieving at least 20/40 vision.
Advanced Laser Technology
The center uses the VisuMax femtosecond laser by Carl Zeiss Meditec from Germany. This technology allows for a bladeless and flapless surgery. The laser treatment itself lasts only 20–25 seconds. Because the incision is so small, patients typically experience a fast recovery and can return to normal activities the next day. This method also helps reduce the risk of dry eyes and night glare compared to traditional laser surgeries.
Expert Surgeon and Innovation
Dr. Ekktet Chansue leads the refractive surgery department with over 25 years of experience. He was the first doctor to perform ReLEx SMILE in Thailand in 2011. Dr. Ekktet Chansue also invented the Chansue ReLEx Dissector. This surgical tool is now a global standard for the procedure. He has completed a clinical fellowship in the USA and co-authored the standard textbook on ReLEx technology.
Clinical Excellence and Training
TRSC International Eye and Vision Center holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation. It was the first private standalone clinic for LASIK and ReLEx in Thailand. The medical team has treated over 100,000 eyes in total, including 25,000+ ReLEx SMILE procedures. The facility serves as an official educational center for Carl Zeiss Meditec. It trains ophthalmologists from over 10 countries across Asia and Australia.
Preparation and Results
Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough eye exam that lasts about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Candidates must be at least 18 years old with stable vision for at least one year. The procedure can correct combined myopia and astigmatism up to -12.00 D. The clinic follows strict safety protocols to help patients with stable health and no corneal diseases achieve better sight.
