About Vision Correction Procedures
Vision correction surgery aims to reduce or end your reliance on glasses and contact lenses, and the right procedure depends on your prescription, your corneas and your age. Thai eye centres run the full range on current-generation lasers, so the choice is driven by your eyes rather than by what a single clinic happens to offer.
The most widely performed procedure is LASIK, suitable for most patients with short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism. For those seeking a bladeless, minimally invasive option, ReLEx SMILE uses a small-incision technique that preserves more corneal structure and typically results in faster visual recovery.
For patients with thinner corneas, PRK is recommended as an alternative to LASIK. For higher prescriptions or patients who want a reversible option, implantable collamer lens (ICL) and phakic IOL surgery place a corrective lens inside the eye without altering the cornea.
Patients over 40 may benefit from refractive lens exchange, an option that corrects both distance vision and developing presbyopia in a single procedure. All vision correction treatments include comprehensive pre-operative assessment, surgery, and post-operative check-ups to monitor healing and visual outcomes.

Before you choose
How to Decide Which Procedure Is Right for You
Suitability comes before the procedure
An eye assessment measures your cornea, prescription and tear film to confirm whether laser or a lens option suits your eyes.
More than one way to correct vision
LASIK, SMILE, PRK and implantable lenses each suit different eyes, so the right choice follows your test results, not a brand name.
Recovery is quick, protection matters
Most laser treatments are day cases under numbing drops, with useful vision back within a day or two and eye shields for sleeping.
A short trip is easy to plan
A few days covers your assessment, treatment and first check, and most patients are cleared to fly home soon after surgery.
