Good eye doctor in PP ?

Post by Anchor Moy »

Hi everyone,
I have a Khmer friend who is looking for a good eye doctor in PP. His wife is losing her sight in one eye. They don't have a lot of money, so someone not too expensive would good.
TIA.

HIghly recommended. Specialists work collaboratively with the equally well-reviewed Rutnin Eye Hospital in Bangkok.

Not sure about costs but it won't hurt to ask for a cost estimate ahead of any procedure. I didn't spend much for an "extraction of foreign object" procedure and the doctor was very professional. She spoke English fluently and directed her staff to do this and that in a very professional manner. I'm certain she was trained overseas.

You might also want to check with Hebron Medical Center (a Korean-run hospital).

I repeat an earlier posting from another forum on this topic. I have been closely involved in prevention of blindness and restoration of sight in Cambodia, especially north-western Cambodia, for circa 10 years now.

For cataract and other eye surgery in Cambodia you have a number of very well qualified and experienced ophthalmologists/eye surgeons to chose from.

But before doing so, you need to know and understand the following:

1. In Cambodia there are, in order of professional ophthalmic qualifications and training - Ophthalmologists, Eye Doctors and Basic Eye Doctors. Chose an ophthalmologist every time.

2. The differences in the two prevailing types of cataract surgery performed in Cambodia. This is best discussed with the ophthalmologist you consult. There is a very big difference in costs involved although the visual acuity outcome will, in every probability, be identical. Also understand that the costs of IOLs- Intra Ocular Implants - can and do vary very considerably, although the cheapest achieve, for all practical purposes, the same outcome as the very expensive proprietary brand name IOLs.

The two main types of cataract surgery are:

Expensive: PHACO - Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the anterior chamber.

Affordable: SICS - Manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS; also SICS or SECCE) is a low-cost, small-incision form of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) that is principally employed in the developing world. Compared to traditional ECCE, MSICS has the advantage of a self-sealing sutureless wound.

For cataract surgery in Phnom Penh, it is suggested that you consult one or more of the following ophthalmologists.

Dr. and Professor NGY MENG Co chairman, Cambodian NPEH + Director of Russian Hospital
DR. and Professor DO Seiha HP 012 840 796, Coordinator NPEH

NPEH = Cambodia National Programme of Eye Health

There are several others but I do not have their contact details to hand as I post this.

Then you have the several private and very much for profit eye clinics. One of the better ones being the Metro Medical (and ophthalmic) Centre, on the corner of Norodom Boulevard and Street # 240. Tel 096 285 5646

For those living in the provinces, the following Cambodian RANZCO (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists) trained ophthalmologists are recommended.

Battambang: BOC = Battambang Ophthalmic Care - Cambodian local total eye care organization that performs circa 1/3 of all eye surgeries in Cambodia. Contact the Director, Dr EK Sarou HP 017 299 296. Mostly free of charge treatment for very poor Cambodians with eye problems but also accepts fee for service treatment of non indigent Cambodians.

Siem Reap: Dr KONG Sunly Ophthalmologist. HP 012 781 981

Sisophon: Dr TOUk Barang Ophthalmologist. HP 012 923 346

Hope this helps.

And when you see your Eye Doctor always say ,,, Good aye.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
