Yanin Suwan

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yanin Suwan is a glaucoma surgery specialist at Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital. She is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Mahidol University. Dr. Suwan conducts research on angle-closure mechanisms and OCT angiography — an imaging test that maps blood vessels in the eye. This technology helps her track glaucoma without using contrast dyes.

Ophthalmology Specialization

The doctor treats patients with glaucoma and cataracts. She also provides general ophthalmology services. Her work includes treating rare conditions like pseudophakic angle closure from a Soemmering ring. This condition occurs when lens cell remnants cause the iris to block drainage after cataract surgery. Dr. Suwan uses OCT angiography to evaluate eye health and disease progression.
