Laser Eye Surgery in Mexico

Many vision problems can be corrected with eye surgery by a qualified ophthalmologist. In some parts of the world, treatments such as Lasik, Intralase and Cataract surgery are available at a very lost cost.

Several thousand medical tourists travel to Mexico each year to receive affordable, high quality medical treatments, and in 2006, this number actually reached the million mark.

Mexico is already a popular tourist destination. Some may travel to Mexico for touristic purposes and while they are there, they may decide to have an eye procedure done, since most eye treatments are short and non-invasive.

Some may also travel solely for the purpose of eye treatment.The Ophthalmology Clinics we work with are all up-to-date with the latest lasik technology.

Mexico is located at about 23° N and 102° W in the southern portion of North America. Almost all of Mexico lies in the North American Plate, with small parts of the Baja California peninsula on the Pacific and Cocos Plates.


Geophysically, some geographers include the territory east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (around 12% of the total) within Central America. Geopolitically, however, Mexico is entirely considered part of North America, along with Canada and the United States.


Mexico's total area is 1,972,550 km², making it the world's 14th largest country by total area, and includes approximately 6,000 km² of islands in the Pacific Ocean (including the remote Guadalupe Island and the Revillagigedo Islands), Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of California. On its north, Mexico shares a 3,141 km border with the United States.


Areas south of the twenty-fourth parallel with elevations up to 1,000 meters (the southern parts of both coastal plains as well as the Yucatán Peninsula), have a yearly median temperature between 24 and 28 °C.


Temperatures here remain high throughout the year, with only a 5 °C difference between winter and summer median temperatures. Although low-lying areas north of the twentieth-fourth parallel are hot and humid during the summer, they generally have lower yearly temperature averages (from 20 to 24 °C) because of more moderate conditions during the winter.
