Eye Hospitals and Clinics
St Peter is a small specialist eye hospital on the Chiang Mai–Lampang frontage road, founded in 1993 by Assistant Professor Dr Pithak Kitcharoen, who still practises there. It describes itself as the first eye hospital in northern Thailand and lists HA Thailand Level 1 accreditation. Three ophthalmologists are named, one trained partly in the UK, and all are listed as English speakers.
Its surgical focus is the lens: cataract surgery, presbyopic lens exchange (PRELEX) with multifocal, trifocal or EDOF implants, and ICL for short- or long-sightedness in people aged 20 to 45. The site does not mention LASIK, SMILE or PRK. Routine work includes eye checks, glaucoma and diabetic screening, dry eye care and children's vision tests.
Cataract surgery is priced from 68,850 THB with a premium monofocal lens and from 98,850 THB with a multifocal lens, and staff help with insurance claim documents. It may suit Chiang Mai residents wanting a smaller, English-speaking eye hospital for cataract or lens surgery.
