About
Rutnin Eye Hospital was founded by Professor Dr Uthai Rutnin, who the hospital describes as Thailand's first retina surgeon after a fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. It works from a single site on Sukhumvit 21 (Asoke Road) and admits inpatients around the clock.
The hospital lists ophthalmologists in cornea, refractive surgery, cataract, glaucoma, retina and vitreous, uveitis, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, ocular oncology and paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. Laser vision correction is provided through its Rutnin-Gimbel LASIK Centre, and children are seen at the Rutnin Children's Eye Center.
Its technology timeline names an excimer laser, IOLMaster 700, Pentacam, Optos wide-field retinal imaging and a Zeiss Cirrus 6000 OCT, along with corneal transplant techniques such as DMEK and DSAEK. Eye check-up packages for international patients are priced on the hospital's promotions page.
Eye Hospitals and Clinics
Rutnin is a standalone eye hospital on Sukhumvit 21 (Asoke), founded by Professor Dr Uthai Rutnin and now listing more than 39 ophthalmologists. Its doctors cover cornea and refractive surgery, cataract, glaucoma, retina and vitreous, uveitis, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, ocular oncology and children's eye care, which is run as a separate Rutnin Children's Eye Center.
Laser vision correction is provided through the Rutnin-Gimbel LASIK Centre, and the hospital also lists phakic lens implants for high short-sightedness. Its technology timeline includes an excimer laser, IOLMaster 700, Pentacam, Optos retinal imaging and a Zeiss Cirrus OCT, alongside corneal transplant techniques such as DMEK.
Prices for international patients are published for screening packages, such as a cataract screening at THB 4,400. A cataract surgery package is listed, but its page excludes doctor fees, consultation and pre-operative tests. Rutnin may suit patients who want a hospital that does nothing but eyes, with subspecialists on one site.
