When you go to Bangkok's top clinics you will notice that some of the entries on the list are actually normal hospitals which offer services ranging skin care to brain surgery. This holds particularly true for the two best know places, the Bumrungrad Hospital and the Bangkok International Hospital, both with 500+ beds. These hospitals have LASIK centers among their many specialized clinics.
Independent LASIK centers are another option. They are fully focused on LASIK services and this might have some advantages. Especially the bigger ones among them are all equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Although prices are much lower than in most Western countries, LASIK is big business also here and these places seem to have generous investment budgets. You are more likely to get a red-carpet treatment in a specialized LASIK center, than in a general hospital.
This hole web site is for people who already know what they want and just need to get more information on the process and the best facility to have it done. Should your case be less straight forward or you are dealing with certain complicating issues you might want to consider a dedicated eye hospital. The Rutnin Eye Hospital is Thailand's best private hospital specializing exclusively in ophthalmology.
If you want to know more about the laser equipment a facility is using, you usually find information on their website. To help you put this rapidly changing information into perspective you might want to check the list of FDA approved lasers for LASIK, which contains plenty of information about every model. The list also shows the approval date, which should help you to put some claims regarding 'latest' and 'newest' into perspective.
OK, now it's time to move to the list of Bangkok's top clinics.
