Cataract operation in Pattaya?

[madmike]

No idea pricing now.  I had both eyes lens replaced with the variable lens from Europe.  High tech and had them now 19 years.  Still good to go.  had it done at Supersight by Dr Somchai in Bangkok-Pattaya. 

I had a good experience but who knows.  best of luck.

I had the SuperSight surgery with Dr. Somchai at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital a couple of months ago (May 2024).

AT LISA multifocal lenses.  The insurance considered these premium lenses so they wouldn't pay.  Total cost was 200,000 baht which included a one night hospital stay.  Operation was a little less than an hour. Local anesthesia.

Everything's in focus now without glasses, so very happy!

Cataract operations here (UK) are a 20 minute outpatient procedure. From what I’ve read on the hospital websites, it’s the same in Thailand.

I have had both eyes done in hospital here in Melbourne, one week apart. 

Local anaesthetic, drops, into the eye and then light general anaesthetic to make you dopey. Felt absolutely nothing. Sent home after a few hours.

Patch on eye overnight. Drops into eye for several days.

Results excellent for mid- and long-vision. Have spectacles for close-up, reading and computer.

Cost was covered by combination of Medicare (universal health insurance) plus BUPA.

Booth eye's a few years ago (no hospital stay) in Khon Kaen, no insurance so I paid, a little less than 100,000bt. One eye cataract the other elective as not wanting to wear glasses because one eye didn't have corrective implant. Yes still use reading glasses.
