Eye Muscle Surgery in Thailand

This surgical procedure not only helps to improve eye alignment but also facilitates better binocular vision.

Understanding Eye Muscle Surgery

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.

Preparing for Eye Muscle Surgery

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.

Eye Muscle Surgery Procedure

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.

Eye Muscle Surgery Recovery

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 Costs of Eye Muscle Surgery

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.

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"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."

Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Cataract surgery & Gastroscopy + Colonoscopy

Konkai is an awesome team that’s 100% determined to helping the patient going an extra mile. This exactly has been my experience.

From the hotel booking to taking appointments with the top level doctors in the hospital that’s most favorable to patient. Which was with me and my wife.

My experience further with Konkai was even to the extent of coordinating financial matters when there was an urgency. My wife and I cannot express with my words enough for the awesome services discharged by Konkai.

Post surgery the follow up and support to patient is amazing beyond explanation. It’s more than 8 weeks after my surgery and their regular touch for feed backs and follow up constantly checking as to how things are going? This is not a normal thing in the medical field. Anyone can blindly trust Konkai and be a member of their family.

Thank you
