Vitreoretinal Research Unit, Department of Ophthalmology

The Vitreoretinal Research Unit, situated at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University, is a complete vitreoretinal center that provides the examination and treatment of both adults and pediatrics. In addition, we can examine and treat patients who have complicated illnesses with specialized machines. The Vitreoretinal Research Unit is also an international research center supported by the external research funding.
