Specialization and Surgical Expertise

Dr. Chantaren focuses on advanced laser vision correction and ocular surface treatments. She performs modern refractive procedures like ReLEx SMILE and LASIK. The doctor uses the Presbyond technique — a laser treatment that adjusts the eye to improve near and far vision. Doing this allows her to address age-related vision changes.

Her expertise includes treating cataracts through phacoemulsification, which uses ultrasound to break up the cloudy lens, and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. She also treats dry eye conditions and corneal diseases.
