Severe Astigmatism, Nearly Keratoconus—and Corneas Too Thin for LASIK: Coming to Terms with Wearing Glasses for Life
Customer’s Vision Concerns and Needs
Dr. Matthew from Dr. Pong Private Clinic, who is also a content creator, has experienced severe astigmatism since childhood.
His case is particularly complex because his astigmatism is so severe that it is close to being classified as keratoconus. Moreover, because his corneas are very thin, he is not eligible for vision-correction procedures such as LASIK or Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery.
As a result, glasses are essential for him and will remain a part of his life.
Products and Services Selected
Dr. Matthew visited Better Vision at Siam Paragon, where he was assisted by a vision-care specialist, P’Oum. The services included:
A highly detailed eye examination: Special attention was given to precisely measuring the axis of his astigmatism. His glasses were also carefully fitted and adjusted to suit his actual daily use. He found the process more detailed than any eye examination he had previously experienced.
Personalised lenses: Dr. Matthew selected Essilor lenses specifically designed to support high astigmatism, helping provide sharper vision and a wider field of view.
Frame selection: He received professional advice on choosing a frame that complemented his face shape. This encouraged him to move away from his usual round, Harry Potter-style frames and choose a design that better enhanced his appearance and personality.
Personalised consultation: He also received guidance on selecting a sunglasses lens colour that complemented his skin tone.
Experience at Better Vision
Dr. Matthew was highly impressed by Better Vision’s attention to detail, reflected in the concept: “Every Detail Matters.”
A noticeable improvement in vision: After the lens axis was precisely adjusted, Dr. Matthew felt that the world appeared much brighter and clearer.
Care that goes beyond selling glasses: He appreciated the team’s attention throughout every step—from measuring his prescription to selecting options suited to his lifestyle and facial features.
Understanding people with complex vision problems: Dr. Matthew was impressed that the team understood that, for someone with a complex prescription, “glasses are a part of the body.” A well-made pair of glasses can therefore make everyday life more complete and comfortable.
Accessible and professional service: He also appreciated that Better Vision provides complimentary consultations and eye examinations at branches nationwide, giving everyone an opportunity to discover a new and clearer visual experience.
