How much does Lasik eye surgery cost in Mexico? And is it safe there?
tonyl asked:
I have a cousin that got Lasik eye surgery in Mexico for about $400 for each eye. Is this a typical price in Mexico? In the U.S., prices are typically three times as much, like in the $1,500 to $2,000 range for each eye. I’m just a little hesitant doing any kind of surgery in Mexico.

I currently live in Dallas but I’m looking for affordable Lasik. Thanks

Stay away from mexico for any surgery. it costs more here because a Professional does it. it costs less in mexico because a wanna be US Citizen doctor does it.

When someone is going to be using a laser on you eyeball, that is not the time to look for a cut rate deal. Additionally, going out of the country is not going to make your aftercare very convenient. Save up the dough or use a payment plan (virtually all Lasik centers offer financing) and use a board certified, reputable doctor. The bonus to that is they will offer a guarantee. The best places around here offer a free redo if your vision changes at any time in the future.

I’m not too sure it’s a good idea to go to Mexico at this time with all the violence going on in the border cities. Last I’ve heard, the city of Juarez has already topped 1000 murders this year alone.
