cataract surgery
I need to have a new lens. Anyone have it done here? Is Dr. Do Seiha the one to go to? TIA
Yes excellent treatment and surgery. Many satisfied customers. I know one personally who has had cataract surgery and lens replaced. He has both monofocal and multifocal lens available. http://www.doseihaeyeclinic.com/

I've heard the same. A friend had lens replacement etc a few years ago and said it's a very common procedure because of damage from strong sun rays.

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.
