How much does Lasik eye surgery cost in Mexico? And is it safe there?

Q. 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

A. 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.

How much is the real cost of Lasik Eye Surgery?

Q. I have seen a lot of advertisement for lasik quoting it at 299 per eye. Granted its based on your perscription but my eyes are equal in perscription and in good shape so it cant be more than 400 per eye. The thing is I cant see how Lasik eye surgery can be only eight hundred. It promises no hidden fees but how exactly can that be? I just would like to hear from somebody who has gone through the process and knows the answer.

A. If it is too good to be true, it is probably not true.

The problem with the $299 Lasik places is that there are so many restrictions on what is provided and who is eligible that the number almost never applies. Also, the only way any surgeon could provide Lasik at that price is to use equipment that is obsolete. It may still be FDA approved, but the technology is obsolete.

Without insurance Lasik costs about $1,950 per eye. The price of Lasik varies from about $1,600 to $3,200 per eye, depending on the surgeon and technology, according to David Harmon, president of the St. Louis research firm Market Scope.

Although these are the true costs for Lasik, discounts are common. Lasik doctors run specials on Lasik quite often, you can ocassionally purchase a Lasik Groupon, and our nonprofit organization provides a $1,500 grant to be used toward Lasik.
