Metta International Eye Center

This is the international clinic that is a branch of the well-known Wat Rai King government eye hospital in Nakhon Pathom. "International" means it is run like a private clinic and at least one receptionist and one doctor speak English. For obvious reasons prices are higher than the hospital but still very reasonable. Some of the hospital surgeons work at the clinic on Saturdays. It can be very busy on Saturday yet sometimes quiet enough to walk in without an appointment on weekdays. I have visited the clinic many times for consultation and then after-care regarding cataract operations and also for anterior uveitis caused by the reactivated chickenpox virus. The ophthalmologists are very knowledgeable - as good as those at the nearby private eye hospital - and always willing to listen and answer questions. However, visitors who don't speak Thai should call ahead and make an appointment with an English-speaking doctor.

The doctor placed my bandage contact lens inside out, and I suffered 15 hours of knife-like pain -- yet the clinic still charged me again for their mistake. I went to this clinic after injuring my left cornea. My first visit cost 3,500 baht just for the doctor to examine my eye and put on a bandage lens. After I went home to rest, I woke up with unbearable pain -- nonstop tearing, swelling, and a sharp cutting sensation that made me unable to open my eye. Because it was late at night, I had to endure 15 hours of extreme pain until the clinic opened the next day. When I returned, a different doctor informed me that the bandage lens had been placed inside out during my first visit, which caused all the suffering. Despite this being their clear mistake, I still had to pay for the second consultation. Now I'm scared to return for the follow-up because I worry they will charge me again.

This is a clinic and there was a lot of local people there. However they did speak enough English to help me and I found their services very helpful.

If you do not speak Thai please do not visit. I came looking for an updated contact prescription and they charged me for being there out of office hours which I was not, and for trying on glasses, which I never did. They also told me it would be 1000 baht and it ended up being 1350 just for the base exam plus all the extra fees they added. I was charged 300 baht in services I did not receive. Please google translate everything before you pay. I left with no contacts and was told it would take 3 months to get contacts in due to my level of astigmatism so it was all in all a waste of money and time.

Optometrists and Ophthalmologists in Bangkok that are available to see patients on short notice (during their open hours). The wait is long when walking in so it's advised to go on a weekday and get an appointment where possible ahead of time to minimize your wait. They sell an excellent eye cleaning foam that is not harsh on the eyes for 331 Baht. It contains tea tree oil and makes my eyes feel very fresh after use. An eye cleaning service is also available and I would recommend this as I have benefited greatly from the cleaning. It was not painful at all and the nurse used a cotton bud to clean my eye thoroughly. I am grateful to have found this eye Center and my eye health has improved greatly since my first appointment. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses who assisted me.

Very kind. I had an eye emergency. I contacted them via Line metta_sukhumvit42 to ensure I could walk in and they confirmed. They did a boatload of tests and I met with the doctor and she was very thorough. Total price for tests, consultation, medication was 1,500 thb. Excellent thank you!

Friendly staff, accurate visit, english speaking doctors. Good price, I felt in safe hands!
