Corneal transplant in Bangkok typically costs from $5,200 / ฿176,800 to $11,500 / ฿391,000 per eye. The final price depends on the surgical technique used, whether the donor tissue is sourced locally or imported, and the hospital tier. Patients save around 73% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $23,000 / ฿782,000 on average. Most quotes include surgeon fees, facility charges, and initial post-operative medications.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Bangkok is Thailand's primary hub for complex ophthalmology compared to regional centers. Choosing a JCI-accredited facility like Bumrungrad International Hospital offers access to specialists like Dr. Teeravee Hongyok. High-volume centers often use imported donor tissues from international eye banks, which increases costs but ensures high testing standards. Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital also attracts many US and Australian patients due to their expertise in refractive surgery.
