Strabismus surgery, often known as eye muscle surgery, involves adjusting the muscles attached to the outside of the eye to achieve proper alignment. This surgical procedure not only helps to improve eye alignment but also facilitates better binocular vision. Thailand, renowned globally for its excellent healthcare system, is a sought-after destination for individuals considering strabismus surgery due to its high-quality medical services and affordable prices.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
Strabismus surgery is used to correct conditions where the eyes are not properly aligned. This includes conditions like cross-eyes (esotropia), outward-turned eyes (exotropia), or vertical misalignments. The surgery can be performed on children and adults alike and aims to improve the coordination between the eye muscles for better focus and clarity. It's important to note that the surgery is not just cosmetic; it also aids in developing and improving binocular vision.
The process of preparing for strabismus surgery usually starts with a comprehensive eye examination. The eye doctor will evaluate the extent of the eye misalignment and the strength and coordination of your eye muscles. You might be asked to stop taking certain medications and avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before surgery.
During the eye muscle surgery, your surgeon will make a small incision in the tissue covering the eye to reach the eye muscles. These muscles will then be repositioned to correct the alignment. The surgery is often performed under general anesthesia and usually takes between one to two hours.
Recovery after strabismus surgery typically involves a few days of soreness and redness in the eye. Your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointment to prevent infection. Regular follow-ups are required to check the healing process, and you will be advised to avoid rubbing your eyes or participating in strenuous activities. Vision improvement is often noticeable immediately, but full recovery may take a few weeks.
The cost for eye muscle surgery in Thailand can range from $2,000 to $4,000. It's important to note that this figure does not include costs for travel and accommodation, and can vary based on factors such as the medical facility, the complexity of your case, and whether additional treatments or procedures are required.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.
The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.
I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
