Services Available

The center specializes in the management of a wide range of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disorders, and corneal conditions. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and modern surgical techniques, our team offers personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs.

  • Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Routine check-ups and assessments to detect and monitor various eye conditions.
  • Treatment of Eye Diseases: Management of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal disorders.

For patients requiring cataract treatment, we offer advanced multifocal intraocular lens implants, allowing for improved vision at multiple distances. Additionally, the center includes specialized ophthalmology clinics where experts provide consultations and guidance, ensuring patients receive the best possible care and treatment options for their eye health.

  • Cataract Surgery: Utilizing multifocal intraocular lenses to restore vision at multiple distances.

In addition to treating vision abnormalities, we offer specialized ophthalmology clinics for the diagnosis and management of various eye diseases. These clinics allow ophthalmologists to provide expert consultations, offer tailored treatment plans, and guide patients in making informed decisions about their eye health.

  • Specialized Clinics: Focused care for specific conditions, providing expert consultations and tailored treatment plans.

The following are treatment options available at the Eye Center.

The Ophthalmology Center offers the following treatment options:

  1. Monofocal IOL: A single-focal lens that provides clear distance vision but requires glasses for near work, such as reading.
  2. Multifocal IOL: A lens that provides multiple focal distances, reducing the need for reading glasses.
  3. Trifocal IOL: A lens that provides clear vision at distance, near, and intermediate distances.
  4. Extended monofocal IOL: A lens that provides clear vision at distance, near, and intermediate distances. The lens is more prominent at the intermediate distance.
  5. Toric IOL: A single-focal lens that corrects astigmatism.
Laser peripheral iridotomy – Used to treat angle-closure glaucoma, a laser is used to open a small hole in the iris, allowing fluid to drain better. This prevents acute glaucoma in people with narrow angles.
  • Trabeculectomy – Creates a new drainage pathway for fluid.
  • Aqueous Shunt Surgery – Implanting a drainage tube for IOP control.

It is recommended that people with diabetes undergo annual retinal screening.

Advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies include:

  • Optic Nerve Transplantation (OCT): An advanced diagnostic technology.

  • Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP) laser treatment: Involves applying a laser to the entire retina to prevent further retinal lesions.

  • Anti-VEGF injections: Used to treat retinal conditions and prevent vision loss.

  • External DCR – Traditional method with a 95% success rate but leaves a small scar.
  • Endoscopic DCR – Scar-free, minimally invasive, with a 98–99% success rate.

Piyavate Hospital uses Endoscopic DCR for faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Normally, LASIK can correct nearsightedness plus astigmatism up to 1,200 D, provided the cornea is thick enough for the correction and there are no contraindications to the procedure.

If you have only presbyopia, LASIK is generally not recommended, but if presbyopia is combined with nearsightedness or astigmatism, the following refractive corrections are recommended:

  • Completely correct the nearsightedness, called full correction. After the procedure, distance vision will be clear, but you will need reading glasses for near tasks.
  • Leaving a slight amount of nearsightedness in one eye, called monovision. After the procedure, distance and near vision will be reasonably good, though not perfectly sharp, reducing dependence on reading glasses for 3–5 years. However, the prescription choice depends on individual preference, so an evaluation and trial with lenses is recommended before surgery.

For individuals under 18, doctors generally do not recommend LASIK because the prescription may still be unstable. The exception is those who need the procedure to qualify for military or police entrance exams; they may be evaluated and undergo LASIK.

  • If you undergo Femto or SBK LASIK, take 1–2 days off work.
  • If you undergo Trans PRK, take 5–7 days off work.

After the procedure, avoid exposing your eyes to smoke for 7 days. Therefore, steer clear of smoky foods for the time being—unless you order them to eat at home without grilling yourself, in which case you may eat as usual.

It is recommended to undergo a thorough evaluation, which involves several steps: measuring your prescription, assessing corneal thickness and curvature, and dilating the pupils for a detailed eye health check. Only then can the doctor determine the most suitable method to correct your vision.

Because every step of the evaluation is carried out in detail to ensure accuracy and precision, leading to good postoperative results.

LASIK is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, unless you are breastfeeding, your menstrual cycle has returned to normal, and you can pump and discard breast milk for the first 7 days after the procedure (because medicated eye drops are used); in that case, LASIK can be performed.

After LASIK surgery, side effects can occur, but they are usually temporary. Over time, symptoms gradually improve and disappear on their own. Examples include initial eye irritation, seeing glare or halos at night or in low-light conditions, and dry eyes, which may persist for the first 3–6 months.
