| The first meeting of the
SuperSight Club, was held on the 10th floor of the Bangkok Hospital
Pattaya, at 4pm, March 23, 2007.
Dr. Somchai welcomed about 20 pioneer members to
our exclusive SuperSight Club - exclusive because, to be a member,
you must have been convinced by Dr. Somchai to replace the ageing
natural lenses in your eyes, with which you were born, with high
tech artificial lenses; throwing away your glasses and contact
lenses in the process.
Over the last four of five years, Dr Somchai has
treated about 1,500 patients from all over the world and here's a
breakdown of their Nationalities:
| British |
27.75% |
| USA and Canada |
11.98% |
| Swedish |
10.75% |
| Dutch |
6.61% |
| German |
5.52% |
| Arab |
5.11% |
| Australian |
6.78% |
| Thai |
5.81% |
| Swiss |
4.65% |
| Norwegian |
4.32% |
| Other European |
3.44% |
| Danish |
1.85% |
| Others |
2.96% |
Of course, just a small percentage are lucky
enough to be living permanently in Thailand, but Dr. Somchai's hope
is that we can all keep in touch through this web site, our blog (http://supersightclub.blogger.com),
our on line
forum
and, of course, the regular monthly meeting whenever you are in
Pattaya.
Over juice, coffee, tea and snacks, served by the
graceful ladies of Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, ex patients (now
SuperSight Club members) met Dr. Somchai once again and swapped
stories of their experiences - and this of course is the focus of
the club: Patients helping Patients. Only those that have
experienced the operation and the period of adjustment, can really
appreciate what a new patient perhaps is experiencing.
The sharing of these first hand experiences, and
the caring participation of Dr Somchai himself at future meetings,
will surely help those newly going through the recuperation and
adjustment.
Dr. Somchai also has some bigger ideas for our
Club and he explained some of them with his seeing finger
presentation. More at
