Sheryl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 You must go to a hospital and see an opthalmologist. Rutnin hospital on Soi Asoke recommended if you are in Bangkok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the misfortune to go to one once, she started trying different lenses, & my vision was just blurred. I took the 'optician' test glasses off & they were dirty! I was astonished. I feel that some of them have no formal training at all. Now, I just see an Opthalmologist at the hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have free healthcare back home, I waited until I returned home for a trip, and they removed one, and said I should pay close attention to the two others, and now 3 years later I think it is time to do so for one of them. Privat hospital is not expensive, what I find expensive is their prices on medication. To remove those 3 moles would have cost me 12 000,-, but I prefer to do so back home, and not here in this clima and also thinking of the risk of infections while the wounds heals.

Dumbastheycome Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 If you have objections to attending at a hospital then find out where the private clinics are. Often the same Opthamologists operate them. (which also explains the queues at the hospitals ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye doctor.. funny that, my 'haze' only began many months to a year 'after' I received an IOL for the cataract! Was told that was 'normal' expectation for an IOLs life. A Cataract causes the apparent effect of a blurred blindspot, located respectively due to wherever that cataracts Vector is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Covid-19 restrictions, not nearly as many foreign patients so queues wont be long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
