You can usually fly home after 5–10 days with your surgeon’s approval, once checks confirm epithelial healing and no infection. You may return to desk work in 7–21 days, depending on your job, graft-eye vision, and your surgeon’s clearance. Strenuous exercise can usually resume after 4–8 weeks, once the eye surface has healed and your surgeon clears you. The final result may take 3–12 months, as surface stability develops and vision can continue improving.
Your eye may be covered or fitted with a bandage lens as the surface heals with drops and lubricants. Keep it dry, avoid rubbing, and do not drive. You may fly home after 5–10 days with your surgeon’s approval, once checks confirm healing and no infection.
The epithelium, or outer eye layer, stabilizes while steroid and immunosuppressant doses taper under supervision. Avoid dust, swimming, and strenuous exercise, and wear an eye shield at night.
Your eye surface and graft stability are checked, and vision may improve gradually. Continue prescribed drops and attend regular follow-up, as further surgery may be considered.
When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for new or worsening vision loss, or eye pain with redness. Seek emergency care for sudden floaters or flashes. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.
Visas for travel to Thailand require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. The list of documents includes:
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.
As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
