Khun Wannaporn Malaithong’s Experience with Cataract Treatment and Surgery
“
As a business owner running an online business, I spend much of each day using a computer and smartphone. Over time, my eyes became irritated, and my vision gradually blurred. When these problems began affecting both my work and daily life, I decided to consult an eye specialist.
“
What impressed me most was Bumrungrad’s wide range of intraocular lens options. I could choose a lens that matched my daily activities, which gave me confidence in my decision and future vision. To obtain accurate measurements and support the best possible surgical outcome, we treated the dry eye disease first. Once it was well controlled, we performed detailed measurements and calculations for the intraocular lens, or IOL. We then discussed the available lens options and selected the one that best suited her lifestyle and visual needs.” Dr. Nattawut Wanumkarng explained: “When Ms. Wannaporn came to us, her main concerns were blurred vision and chronic eye irritation. A comprehensive examination revealed cataracts and significant dry eye disease, with approximately 70–80% tear gland dysfunction. “
“
The process begins with precise preoperative measurements and IOL calculations. During surgery, we use the ORA (Optiwave Refractive Analysis) System to verify lens power in real time. This additional measurement helps us select an appropriate lens and achieve results that closely match each patient’s expectations and visual goals.
Dr. Maytinee Sirimaharaj added: “At Bumrungrad International Hospital, experienced ophthalmologists, dedicated nurses, and advanced diagnostic and surgical technology support comprehensive cataract care.
After cataract surgery and lens replacement, many patients say they feel as though they have turned back the clock to their early 30s. They can enjoy the activities they love with renewed confidence and ease.
Cataracts are treatable. Cataract surgery is generally safe, effective, and virtually painless. Do not delay seeking medical advice. The earlier cataracts are assessed and treated when appropriate, the sooner patients may regain clearer vision and improve their quality of life.”
