According to the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration (FDA): "LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a
person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses." For a technical understanding
of LASIK click here:  For most
people, it enough to say that LASIK is a painless procedure that can correct vision
permanently. LASIK is performed in a clinic or doctor's office and no
hospitalization is required.Bangkok is home to Asia's largest, most advanced LASIK facility, TRSC International Lasik Center, with some of the world's most experienced, most highly trained medical specialists. The clinic attracts patients from around the world for the quality of their work and for their highly competitive prices. They are so confident of about the quality of what they offer that they promise "Lifetime Service for Lifetime Satisfaction." That is quite a claim to make. However, when you visit their clinic and meet the people who work there, you know they mean it.
TRSC International LASIK Center offers several advanced LASIK technologies. The newest options are called "Optimum" and "Ultimate" LASIK. Each option offers an to opportunity correct many kinds of vision problems. Needless to say, the option you and your doctor choose will be the one that is best suited to the physical structure of your eyes and the extent of the abnormality of your vision. TRSC’s LASIK Refractive Surgery Specialists will present the most appropriate options in order to provide the best possible results.
LASIK is a one-time procedure that is virtually irreversible. If you decide LASIK is for you, consider the differences between the doctors and clinics that offer this kind of procedure. If you have read this far we suspect you have already considered LASIK and know at least a little bit about options and prices. For most of us, there are four factors to consider when making a choice: price, experience, service and technology. Price. The fixed costs of LASIK are high. Costs in Thailand are substantially lower than other parts of the world, so prices are lower. However, beware of bargain-priced offers because there is always a trade-off of some kind. Most commonly, this means older and perhaps outdated equipment, less stringent pre-procedure patient evaluation, lower safety standards, and little or no international training. Although TRSC's prices are lower than what you will probably find outside of Thailand, they are not the cheapest in Asia, and we all know that "cheapest" is not the same as "best value." How much are your eyes worth, anyway? Experience. Some doctors, clinics and hospitals offer LASIK along with other kinds of care for vision irregularities, eye diseases and injuries. It is safe to say that someone who performs LASIK occasionally is far less experienced than someone who performs LASIK procedures every day. TRSC offers nothing but LASIK. They have more experience with LASIK than any other clinic or hospital in Asia. If experience is your primary concern, TRSC stands out as the best choice. Technology. When it comes to a part of the body as sensitive as your eyes, there should be no compromise when it comes to the quality of the care you get. TRSC uses nothing but the most advanced equipment and techniques available anywhere in the world. Physicians who perform the procedures get international specialized training and retraining. Consequently, they were the first LASIK center in Asia to attain ISO certification – a testament to the strictest strict safety standards. Service. Occasionally a LASIK procedure may require correction later. This is most likely to happen when the procedure is performed incorrectly or under less than optimum conditions. Most LASIK centers provide follow-ups for six to twelve months only. As long as you follow their follow-up advice, however, TRSC will look after your eyes for life.
LASIK is not a magical cure for every kind of vision problem and some candidates are not suitable. An easy first step to determine whether LASIK is a suitable alternative for you is to is to complete a simple online questionnaire. Look for the link in the yellow column on the right. Ultimately, of course, you will need to be examined by a qualified physician before you go any farther.
If you have completed the questionnaire and learned you may be a good candidate for LASIK, the next step is to make an appointment to visit TRSC. We suggest that you do this as far in advance as possible. Because our emphasis is on personalized, high quality care, we are not an assembly line operation.
The
exam is amazingly comprehensive and takes three to four hours. If your doctor
confirms that LASIK is suitable for you, he or she will advise you about the
most appropriate alternatives. If you like you may then schedule the procedure
and plan follow-up visits. To make an
