Rutnin Eye Hospital Dhaka Office & Bangladesh Treatment
Bangladeshi patients searching for a Rutnin Eye Hospital Dhaka Office or Rutnin Eye Hospital Bangladesh Office are usually looking for more than an address. Most want to know how to reach the Bangkok hospital, select an eye specialist, send medical reports, understand likely costs and arrange treatment from Bangladesh.
Rutnin Eye Hospital itself is located at 80/1 Sukhumvit 21 Road (Asoke), Vadhana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. Its official contact details list telephone +66 2056 3333 and email contact@rutnin.com. The official Rutnin website reviewed in September 2026 does not publish a hospital-operated Bangladesh branch address.
Thai Medicare BD operates its own patient-coordination office in Mirpur 2, Dhaka. Bangladeshi patients may use this as a local starting point for appointment coordination, medical inquiries, report submission and medical-travel support. It should not be described as a Rutnin hospital branch or clinical facility.
Overview of Rutnin Eye Hospital
Rutnin is a stand-alone specialist hospital focused exclusively on ophthalmology. The hospital’s official foundation information describes it as Thailand’s first hospital specializing exclusively in ophthalmology, while its current materials state that it has more than 60 years of experience in eye care.
Unlike a general multispecialty hospital, Rutnin concentrates on diseases and procedures involving the eye and visual system. Its official service directory covers cataract, glaucoma, vitreoretinal disease, corneal disorders and transplantation, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, oculoplastics, low vision, ocular prosthetics and refractive surgery.
For Bangladeshi patients seeking eye treatment in Thailand, this focused structure can make it easier to match a condition with the appropriate ophthalmic subspecialist.
Is There a Rutnin Eye Hospital Dhaka Office?
Rutnin’s official website currently publishes its Bangkok address and hospital contacts but does not list a hospital-owned Dhaka branch.
A separate Bangladesh website currently presents itself as an authorized Rutnin referral office. However, that authorization could not be independently corroborated on Rutnin’s official domain during this research. Thai Medicare BD should therefore avoid presenting itself—or another Bangladesh organization—as the hospital’s official Dhaka branch unless documentary confirmation is available.
Thai Medicare BD currently lists its own office as:
House 2/1, Block C, Road 2
Mirpur 2, Dhaka 1216, Bangladesh
Phone/WhatsApp: +880 1736-862022
This is a Thai Medicare BD patient-support office, not an eye hospital.
Infrastructure & Eye-Care Facilities
Rutnin describes itself as a stand-alone eye hospital with comprehensive ophthalmology facilities. Its infrastructure includes:
- Outpatient Clinic
- Day Surgery Unit
- Inpatient Unit
- Operating theatres
- Laser suite
- Children’s Eye Center
- Rutnin-Gimbel LASIK Centre
- Specialized diagnostic testing facilities
The hospital also reports digitally connected medical equipment and dedicated facilities for examination, surgery and recovery.
Routine evaluation may include visual-acuity testing, intraocular-pressure measurement, refraction, slit-lamp examination and pupil dilation. More specialized testing can include corneal topography, pachymetry, fluorescein angiography, computerized visual-field testing, retinal imaging, ultrasound and endothelial cell assessment.
Rutnin’s technology information documents equipment used for cataract, retinal, glaucoma and corneal assessment, including OCT imaging, wide-field retinal imaging, Pentacam corneal tomography and IOLMaster measurements for cataract surgery planning.
Eye Specialties and Departments
Important verified subspecialties include:
- Cataract treatment
- Glaucoma
- Retina and vitreous disorders
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Corneal disease and corneal transplantation
- Refractive surgery
- Pediatric ophthalmology
- Strabismus
- Neuro-ophthalmology
- Uveitis
- Oculoplastic surgery
- Low-vision care
- Ocular prosthetics
- General ophthalmology
This subspecialty model is particularly relevant for patients with complex eye conditions because the appropriate doctor may depend on whether the problem originates in the cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve or another part of the visual system.
Popular Eye Treatments & Procedures
Cataract Surgery
Rutnin has a long history of cataract treatment and documents the use of phacoemulsification and different intraocular-lens technologies. Modern cataract surgery generally removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens.
Patients may require different lens types depending on their eye measurements, astigmatism, other eye disease and visual needs. A lens should therefore be selected with an ophthalmologist rather than on price alone.
Patients researching Rutnin Eye Hospital cataract surgery cost should request an updated written quotation specifying the lens, surgeon fees, investigations and follow-up.
Retina and Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Rutnin has dedicated retina and vitreous specialists and diagnostic technologies such as OCT, wide-field retinal imaging and retinal angiography. Its technology history also documents vitrectomy systems used for retinal surgery.
Retinal conditions can include diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular disorders, retinal vascular disease and vitreous problems. Treatment may involve observation, injections, laser treatment or surgery depending on the diagnosis.
Sudden loss of vision, new flashes, a rapid increase in floaters or a curtain-like shadow can require urgent ophthalmic evaluation and should not be delayed while arranging overseas travel.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma involves progressive damage to the optic nerve and is often associated with abnormal intraocular pressure. Rutnin provides glaucoma subspecialty care and diagnostic technologies including visual-field testing and OCT assessment of the optic nerve.
Treatment can involve eye drops, laser procedures or surgery depending on the type and severity of glaucoma. Patients should not stop prescribed glaucoma medication without consulting their treating ophthalmologist.
Cornea Treatment and Corneal Transplantation
Rutnin lists corneal transplantation and anterior-segment care among its established subspecialties. Its documented technologies include DALK, DSAEK and DMEK corneal-transplant approaches.
Different transplant techniques replace different layers of damaged corneal tissue. The appropriate method depends on which part of the cornea is diseased.
LASIK and Refractive Surgery
Refractive surgery is provided through the Rutnin-Gimbel LASIK Centre, which developed from Rutnin’s refractive-surgery service and was established as a dedicated center in 2000. Current refractive options promoted through the center include modern laser-vision-correction approaches.
LASIK, PRK, FemtoLASIK or SMILE-type procedures are not appropriate for every patient. Corneal thickness and shape, prescription stability, dry-eye status and other ocular conditions need to be assessed first.
A reliable current official LASIK/SMILE Pro package price was not identified on Rutnin’s main website during this research, so patients should request a current quotation.
Pediatric Eye Care and Strabismus
Rutnin operates a dedicated Children’s Eye Center with pediatric ophthalmologists. Verified services include pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus care.
Children with suspected squint, unequal vision, abnormal eye movement or visual-development concerns should be evaluated by an appropriate pediatric ophthalmologist rather than managed solely through routine spectacle testing.
Oculoplastic and Neuro-Ophthalmology Care
Rutnin’s official subspecialty directory also includes oculoplastics and neuro-ophthalmology. These fields can address selected eyelid, orbital, tear-duct, optic-nerve and neurologically related vision disorders.
Expected Treatment Price in BDT
Price research date: 16 September 2026.
Currency reference used: THB 1 ≈ BDT 3.70055.
Rutnin’s current official website does not display a complete public price list for the major procedures discussed above. The figures below are therefore third-party 2026 references, not official Rutnin quotations. Konkai Health states that it works directly with Rutnin and currently reports the following pricing.
Treatment / Service | Reported THB Cost | Approximate BDT |
General Eye Examination | From THB 4,500 | From BDT 16,700 |
Cataract Surgery | THB 73,000–175,000 per eye | About BDT 2.70–6.48 lakh |
Pterygium Surgery | From THB 55,000 per eye | From BDT 2.04 lakh |
Trabeculectomy for Glaucoma | THB 62,000 | About BDT 2.29 lakh |
Dry-Eye Treatment, 3 Sessions | THB 21,450 | About BDT 79,400 |
Eye Screening Programs | THB 7,000–9,600 | About BDT 25,900–35,500 |
These prices should be used only for initial budgeting. Cataract pricing, for example, varies considerably depending on the IOL and package inclusions.
The final treatment cost may change because of:
- Specialist consultation
- Diagnostic testing
- Type of surgery
- Lens or implant selection
- Medication
- Anesthesia
- Operating-room charges
- Additional retinal or corneal procedures
- Follow-up visits
- Patient-specific clinical requirements
For LASIK, SMILE Pro, retina surgery, corneal transplantation and other complex eye surgery, request a current written estimate rather than publishing an unverified fixed amount.

Doctor schedules change, so Bangladeshi patients should confirm availability before booking flights.
International Patient Services
Rutnin provides an online appointment system, doctor search, medical-report request system, nearby-hotel information and hospital contact channels that international patients can use when planning treatment. Its website is also offered in multiple languages.
Rutnin’s appointment page states that staff contact patients to confirm an online appointment request and that an appointment is not final until confirmation is received.
A dedicated Bangla interpreter or airport-pickup service provided directly by Rutnin could not be verified on the official hospital pages reviewed. These should therefore be coordinated separately where required.
Treatment Process for Bangladeshi Patients
A typical journey may include:
- Contact Thai Medicare BD or Rutnin with your eye concern.
- Send recent eye reports, prescriptions and imaging if available.
- Identify the appropriate ophthalmic subspecialist.
- Request an appointment and available preliminary cost information.
- Confirm the hospital appointment.
- Prepare Thailand visa and travel documentation.
- Arrange flights, hotel and local transportation.
- Attend the eye examination in Bangkok.
- Complete any specialist tests requested by the ophthalmologist.
- Review the diagnosis, treatment options, risks and final cost.
- Proceed with treatment only after appropriate informed consent.
- Attend required postoperative reviews and arrange continued follow-up in Bangladesh where appropriate.
The exact process varies considerably between a routine eye examination, LASIK, cataract surgery, retinal surgery and corneal transplantation.
