Optometrists in Bangkok, Thailand

Teresa, if you go to any of the glasses places you see around BTS area, usually they give you free eye exams but by trained specialist, not by optometrist. My husband goes to "Siam Eye Clinic" in Siam Square in the same block as Hard Rock Cafe. We pay for the exam..... but get the best fitted special lenses (for glasses) and contact lenses...... and good service too. My husband returned a pair of glasses he bought about 2-3 years ago for repair, they couldn't do it as the model has already been retired so they gave him a new frame and polish his old lenses to fit in the new frame... not cheap though. Hope this helps.

Gavin. For your issue, your best bet is to go to a hospital. If you are in a lot of pain, go to ER right now but if the issue can wait till tomorrow, usually after 8AM, there are full time optometrists (specialists) in most hospitals like Bangkok, BNH, Samitivej... but these are pricey....Other option is the specialized eye hospital Rutnin on Asok....or some other less expensive alternatives, Thai Nakarin in Bangna, Theptarin on Rama IV, Nakornthon in Rama II.. all have well equipped eye centers and for your purpose will provide just as good care but probably at 1/3 the cost. I hope this helps.

Gavin, I can recommend Dr Anuchit at Rutnin Eye Hospital on Asoke. From memory he' s only there at the weekends though.

Teresa... Idk about getting lenses without frame.. but you can get the exam without either for sure. Might want to call them first. 022529474,022519576. They are open from 11AM on.. The optometrist we saw is Dr. Tuernjai (Tuern-jai), a lady.

Just about 150 meters from central on the same side of the road is the Top Charoen Eye Hospital

Optic Square Central Chaengwattana 02-101-0744

[Rutanin Eye Clinic](http://www.rutnin.com/eng/) is about as good a place as I have ever been.

in Thailand there are eye stores everywhere but most of them haven't an optometrist that learned his profession at an college or university and the yearly output of new fresh educated optometrists you can count with your fingers. niche nation in thonglor have real optometrists, but its a young team. i wasn't disappointed. i wear glasses only for driving, but i know what can go wrong. i have trust in this shop, you can go there also to repeat the test on different days like your vision the results of the test will vary. service is good. their pricing policy is also transparent.

I've been happy with Boonteng

Top Charoen! j/k

Lisa Monson and Toni Boush both got nice ones downtown for not that much... it's near a BTS station, but I can't remember which one - they'll know.

Sukumvit Samitijev hospital...and also no Thonglor by the BTS stop...

Siam Eye Clinic at Siam Square. This is a real optometry clinic which handles a lot of different vision problems, not just corrective lenses.

went last saturday to Bumrungrad for my eyes to be checked by Dr Kitisak, speaks good english and was done in no time, came out with my new prescription to make a new pair of glasses ... just dont buy glasses in the hospital as now they have a glasses shop. Had mine done in central world yesterday in one hour ...50% discount on the glasses and 50% on the lenses.

Any Top Charoen will check your vision on an auto-refractory and confirm via chart for free; they hope to get your spectacles/contacts business.

V.Siam nearly opposite Soi 22 on Suk. Tell K.Supat I sent you. he's great.

Rutnin Eye Hospital on Asok Montri near Petburi road. Best in Bangkok
