Why choose a medical travel partner like Flymedi

Flymedi is a medical travel marketplace, not a clinic. We list eye centres that treat international patients, show what each one charges and what previous patients reported, and coordinate the practical side of the trip. The clinical decisions stay between you and the surgeon you choose.

  • Accreditation shown per clinic

    Each listing records the accreditations that centre holds, and these vary by country and by facility.

  • End-to-end coordination

    From your first enquiry to your post-operative check, Flymedi helps with appointment scheduling, travel logistics, accommodation and interpreting, with multilingual coordinators on hand during the trip.

  • Itemised quotes

    You receive a written quote that lists what the package covers and what it does not, so the costs sitting outside it are visible before you travel.

  • Aftercare support

    You receive written post-operative instructions and help arranging follow-up appointments, at the clinic and, where possible, with a provider near home.

What Flymedi's all-inclusive packages include

Package contents vary by clinic, so read the quote rather than the label. A typical LASIK package covers the pre-operative assessment, the procedure itself, post-operative medication and the first follow-up appointment. Some include accommodation and airport transfers and many do not. Financing is available on some packages, spreading the cost over monthly instalments. What matters is knowing which of these your quote includes before you book travel.

The clinics listed on this page can be compared by location, laser platform, surgeon experience and verified patient reviews.

Glasses and contact lenses are a daily routine for most people who need them, and laser vision correction is the most common way to end that routine. LASIK reshapes the cornea so that light focuses correctly on the retina, and for suitable patients it removes or reduces the need for correction.

Cost is the usual reason people look abroad. Laser vision correction is rarely covered by insurance, so it is paid out of pocket in most countries, and the price varies widely between markets. That is why comparing countries, and not only clinics, is worth the effort. This guide covers the destinations, the money, the medicine and the practical planning.

Benefits of LASIK eye surgery abroad

Travelling for vision correction is a trade between price, travel time and how easily you can get back for a review. The advantages are real, and they are worth weighing against that last point rather than separately from it.

  • Lower out-of-pocket cost

    Laser vision correction is usually self-funded, and prices differ substantially between markets.

  • Experienced refractive surgeons

    Medical travel hubs concentrate high procedure volumes, so surgeons in these centres often perform refractive surgery daily rather than occasionally.

  • Current laser platforms

    Clinics competing for international patients tend to invest in current excimer and femtosecond systems and in diagnostic mapping such as wavefront and topography-guided treatment.

  • A short clinical window

    The procedure itself takes minutes and the first check is the next day, so the clinical part of the trip is short.

What LASIK costs abroad, and what changes the price

The starting price for LASIK at each listed clinic is shown on that clinic's own card, together with the basis it is quoted on, so you can see whether the figure covers the treatment alone or a fuller package. The figure at the top of this page is the current lowest published starting price across the clinics listed here. Prices move, so treat the listing as the source rather than any figure quoted in an article.

  • United States and United Kingdom: roughly €3,700 to €5,500 for both eyes. This is the figure most patients travelling from these markets are measuring against.
  • Turkey: roughly €1,100 to €2,300 for both eyes.
  • Mexico: roughly €1,400 to €2,600 for both eyes.
  • Thailand: roughly €1,650 to €2,750 for both eyes.

Those are indicative ranges for the treatment itself, quoted for both eyes, and they move with the clinic, the laser platform and how complex your prescription is. No comparable published figure exists for Colombia, so it is left out rather than estimated. Check the per eye or both eyes basis on any figure before you compare two of them: the same band quoted per eye instead of for the pair doubles the apparent difference, and that is the most common error in LASIK price comparisons.

  • Which procedure you need: Surface procedures, flap-based LASIK and lenticule extraction are priced differently, and a high prescription or a thin cornea can rule the cheapest option out before cost enters the decision.
  • One eye or both: Some clinics quote per eye and some per treatment. Check which before you compare two numbers.
  • The laser platform and the diagnostics: Topography-guided and wavefront-optimised treatments usually cost more than a standard treatment on the same eye.
  • What the package covers: The pre-operative assessment, the post-operative medication and the number of follow-up appointments included all move the total.
  • The country, and what it costs to get there: Flights, accommodation and the length of stay the clinic asks for are part of the real cost even when they sit outside the quote.

Costs that sit outside the quote are covered in the payment section below, and the follow-up schedule that decides how long you need to stay is covered in the aftercare section.

How to check a hospital's international accreditation

Accreditation is a floor rather than a ranking, and it is checkable. When you are shortlisting clinics for LASIK abroad, these are the things worth verifying yourself rather than taking from a marketing page:

  • Check the accreditation directly: Bodies such as the Joint Commission International publish searchable registers of accredited organisations, and ISO certificates carry a number you can verify. Confirm the accreditation on the register rather than on the clinic's own site.
  • Verify surgeon credentials: Look for the surgeon's specialist training in refractive surgery, how long they have practised it, and roughly how many procedures of the type you need they perform. A clinic that cannot answer this readily is telling you something.
  • Read recent patient reviews: Look for detailed and recent accounts from international patients rather than a score alone. Reviews that describe the follow-up are more useful than reviews that describe the reception desk.
  • Ask which platform they use: Modern excimer and femtosecond systems, and diagnostic mapping such as wavefront or topography-guided treatment, allow more customised correction. Ask which platform the clinic runs and which procedures it supports, because that decides what they can offer you.
  • Ask about outcomes and complications: A clinic should be willing to discuss its own outcome data, how it defines a complication, who you contact if one occurs after you fly home, and what further treatment would cost.

Where people travel for LASIK

Four countries account for most of the LASIK travel booked through Flymedi. Each is a different mix of travel time, price and clinic density, and the right one depends mostly on where you are starting from and how easily you can return for a review.

Mexico

Mexico is the shortest trip for patients travelling from the United States and Canada, and clinics in Tijuana, Guadalajara and Cancun are set up for cross-border patients with bilingual staff. Short flights make the next-day check straightforward to attend, and they make a later review realistic rather than theoretical, which matters more than it first appears.

See LASIK eye surgery in Mexico for clinics, prices and travel detail.

Colombia

Colombia's refractive surgery centres are concentrated in Bogota, Medellin and Cali, several of them attached to teaching hospitals. It suits patients travelling from North and South America, and the cities are comfortable enough to make a longer stay for follow-up a reasonable plan rather than an endurance test.

See LASIK eye surgery in Colombia for clinics, prices and travel detail.

Thailand

Thailand's international hospitals in Bangkok run dedicated refractive units and are used to patients who arrive with their diagnostics already done. The long flight is the main planning constraint, in both directions: it shapes when you can fly home and how comfortable the first weeks will be.

See LASIK eye surgery in Thailand for clinics, prices and travel detail.

Turkey

Turkey concentrates a large number of eye clinics in Istanbul and Izmir, and packages there more often bundle accommodation and transfers than they do elsewhere. It is within a short flight of most of Europe, which keeps a return trip for a review manageable.

See LASIK eye surgery in Turkey for clinics, prices and travel detail.

How to compare the clinics listed here

The clinic list on this page is built from Flymedi's own data rather than from advertising spend. Each card carries enough to shortlist before you enquire, and the fields mean specific things.

  • FlymediScore: our ten-point score for the clinic. It is a Flymedi measure, and it is separate from the Trustpilot rating and from the review count shown alongside it. The three are not combined.
  • Verified patient reviews: reviews left by patients Flymedi placed, so the count refers to that group rather than to the clinic's whole patient population.
  • Starting price and its basis: the figure, and next to it what the figure covers. Compare like with like before you compare clinics.
  • Location and travel time: the practical constraint on attending the next-day check and any later review.
  • Procedures offered: not every centre offers every technique. If your measurements point to a surface procedure or to an implanted lens, that narrows the list before price does.

Which laser eye procedure suits which eye

LASIK is one of several ways to correct a refractive error, and the choice is made from your measurements rather than from preference. A pre-operative assessment records corneal thickness and shape, your prescription and how stable it has been, pupil size and tear film. Those numbers decide which procedures are open to you, and they can rule out the one you arrived intending to have.

LASIK and Femto-LASIK

A thin flap is lifted, the cornea beneath is reshaped, and the flap is laid back. In Femto-LASIK the flap is made with a femtosecond laser rather than a blade. Vision usually recovers over a day or two.

ReLEx SMILE

A small lenticule of tissue is removed through a keyhole incision, with no flap created. Less of the corneal surface is disturbed, which is why it comes up where dry eye is a concern. It treats short-sightedness and astigmatism, not long-sightedness, and not every clinic offers it.

PRK and LASEK

Surface procedures that reshape the cornea without a flap. They suit thinner corneas and are often preferred for patients whose work or sport carries a risk of a blow to the eye. Recovery is slower and less comfortable than LASIK, measured in days rather than hours.

ICL and phakic intraocular lenses

An implanted lens rather than a reshaped cornea, used where the prescription is too high or the cornea too thin for laser treatment. No corneal tissue is removed, and the lens can be taken out again.

Refractive lens exchange

The eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial one. It is usually considered for older patients, particularly where a cataract is already forming.

If a clinic recommends a procedure other than the one you asked about, ask which measurement drove the change. A centre that can point to the specific finding is giving you a clinical answer. One that cannot is giving you a commercial one.

Who is a candidate, and who is not

LASIK works well for many people and is wrong for some. A thorough pre-operative assessment decides it. In general you are likely to be a candidate if you:

  • Are at least 18 years old (preferably over 21).
  • Have had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least one year.
  • Have a common refractive error such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism.
  • Possess adequate corneal thickness to allow for the creation of the corneal flap.
  • Are in good general health and have no eye diseases such as keratoconus, glaucoma, or severe dry eye syndrome.
  • Are not pregnant or nursing, as hormonal changes can affect your vision.

Some people are poor candidates for surgery abroad even when they are reasonable candidates for LASIK. If your prescription has shifted in the past year, if you have dry-eye disease, keratoconus or another corneal condition, or if you have an autoimmune condition that affects healing, the assessment matters more than the price, and it is better done before you book flights. Ask the clinic to review your current measurements before you commit to dates. A clinic willing to confirm your suitability without seeing them is telling you how it works.

Risks and safety

LASIK is a common elective procedure with a low complication rate, but it is surgery performed on a healthy eye, and the risks are real. They are worth reading before the price is.

  • Dry eye: the most common side effect. Tear production falls after surgery and usually recovers over weeks to months, but it can persist, and in a minority of patients it becomes a long-term problem.
  • Glare, halos and starbursts: light artefacts around headlights and other bright sources, most noticeable at night. They usually fade over the first months, and are more likely with large pupils or a high prescription.
  • Reduced night vision: contrast in low light can be worse after surgery even when daytime acuity is good.
  • Under-correction and over-correction: the result can leave a residual prescription, which may mean glasses for some tasks or a second procedure.
  • Flap complications: displacement, folds, or epithelial cells growing under the flap. These are specific to flap-based procedures, and avoiding them is one reason surface procedures and SMILE are chosen for some patients.
  • Inflammation and infection: uncommon, and treatable with drops when caught early. They are the reason the post-operative medication schedule and the checks are not optional.

Some patients can have an enhancement, a second treatment, years later if the prescription drifts. Whether it is possible depends on how much corneal thickness remains and on how your eyes healed the first time, so it is assessed rather than assumed. Enhancement is harder to arrange when the original surgery was done abroad, because the surgeon assessing you did not perform the first procedure and will not hold the records unless you bring them. Ask before you travel whether the clinic offers enhancements and on what terms.

Published complication rates for modern LASIK are low, but they vary by study, by procedure and by how a complication is defined, so no single figure belongs on a page like this one. Ask your surgeon for their own rate and for the definition behind it. A surgeon who quotes a number and explains what it counts is more useful than one who quotes a lower number and does not.

What to look for when choosing a clinic

Making the final decision on a clinic requires careful consideration of several key factors to ensure your safety and a successful outcome.

  • Safety and Accreditation: The clinic's top priority should be your safety. Confirm their JCI or ISO accreditation and inquire about their sterilization and hygiene protocols.
  • Advanced Technology: The technology used directly impacts the precision and outcome of your surgery. Look for clinics that offer the latest-generation excimer and femtosecond lasers, as well as advanced diagnostic mapping like Wavefront or Contoura.
  • Surgeon's Experience: Your surgeon's skill is crucial. Choose a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in refractive surgery and has a proven track record of performing thousands of LASIK procedures.
  • Comprehensive Care Packages: A good international clinic will offer all-inclusive packages that cover the consultation, surgery, post-operative medications, and follow-up appointments. This simplifies the process and avoids unexpected costs.
  • Transparent Communication: The clinic staff should be fluent in your language or provide professional translators. They should be responsive, answer all your questions clearly, and provide you with all necessary information before you commit.

Documents for a medical visa

While many countries offer visa-free entry for short tourist stays, some may require a specific medical visa. It is essential that you check the visa requirements of your chosen destination well in advance. Generally, you may need to prepare the following documents:

  • A valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining.
  • The completed visa application form for the destination country.
  • An official letter from the chosen clinic or hospital confirming your appointment, the nature of the treatment, and the estimated duration of your stay.
  • Proof of sufficient funds to cover your medical expenses and travel costs (e.g., bank statements).
  • Your flight itinerary and proof of accommodation.
  • Copies of your local medical records related to your eye condition.

Always consult the official embassy or consulate website of the destination country for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Aftercare, flying home and follow-up

The surgery takes minutes. The aftercare decides the length of the trip, so plan the trip around the follow-up schedule rather than the other way round.

  1. The day after surgery

    The first check, and the appointment not to miss, because it confirms that the flap or the treated surface is settling as expected.

  2. The first week, then one to three months

    Further checks follow within the first week and again across the first one to three months, while vision stabilises.

  3. Before you fly home

    Most clinics ask international patients to stay for the first check and often for a second, which in practice means several days rather than one.

Cabin air is dry, and dryness is the most common post-operative symptom, so a long flight soon after surgery tends to make the early weeks less comfortable. Ask your surgeon when you may fly rather than assuming the day after the check is fine, and build the answer into the return booking before you buy it. The longer the flight home, the stronger the case for an extra day or two on the ground.

Once you are home, follow-up falls to an optometrist or ophthalmologist who did not perform the surgery and does not hold your operative records. That is workable, but only if you give them what they need. It is the honest weakness of treating abroad, and it is the reason the records below matter.

  • The operative report, naming the procedure performed and the surgeon who performed it.
  • Pre-operative and post-operative corneal topography.
  • The laser platform used and the treatment parameters applied to each eye.
  • Your pre-operative prescription and corneal thickness measurements.
  • The post-operative medication schedule, with drug names rather than brand names alone.

Frequently asked questions

Answers from the medical content team, reviewed by the medical reviewer named on this page.

How long does the LASIK procedure take?

The laser portion of the surgery is incredibly fast, typically taking less than a minute per eye. You can expect to be in the operating room for about 15 minutes per eye in total, which includes preparation and positioning.

How long should I stay in the clinic after the surgery?

LASIK eye surgery is an outpatient procedure. This means you can leave the clinic shortly after the surgery is complete, usually within an hour or two. You will need someone to accompany you, as you will not be able to drive.

Is LASIK eye surgery painful?
Numbing drops are used, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure itself. Afterwards it is common to have burning, watering or a gritty sensation for a few hours as the drops wear off, and that usually settles by the next day. Tell your surgeon if the discomfort increases rather than eases, because that is not the expected pattern.
What should I avoid before the procedure?

It is recommended that you stop wearing contact lenses for at least a week (for soft lenses) or longer (for hard lenses) before your pre-operative evaluation. Contact lenses can temporarily alter the shape of your cornea. You should also avoid wearing eye makeup, lotions, or perfumes on the day of your surgery.

What outcomes can I expect from LASIK?
Outcomes are generally good for suitable candidates, but published success rates vary with how success is defined, which prescriptions were treated and which procedure was used, so a single figure would mislead you. Ask your surgeon what proportion of their patients with a prescription like yours reach the outcome you are hoping for, and what the plan is if you do not.
What are the potential complications of LASIK?
The most common is dry eye, followed by glare, halos and reduced night vision, which usually improve over weeks to months. Under-correction or over-correction can leave a residual prescription. Flap complications, inflammation and infection are less common and are treatable when caught early, and they are the reason the post-operative drops and checks are not optional. The risks and safety section above covers each of these in more detail.
How long is the recovery period?

Recovery from LASIK is remarkably fast. Most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision within the first 24 hours. You will likely be able to return to most normal activities, like work, within a day or two. You will need to avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, and contact sports for a few weeks.

When can I fly home after LASIK abroad?

Most surgeons recommend you stay in the destination city for at least 2 to 5 days after your procedure. This allows you to attend your crucial one-day post-operative check-up and gives your eyes a chance to begin healing before you travel.

Will I have perfect 20/20 vision?

While LASIK does not guarantee perfect 20/20 vision for everyone, a very high percentage of patients do achieve it. The goal is to significantly reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses for your daily activities.

Are the results of LASIK permanent?

Yes, the changes made to your cornea during LASIK are permanent. However, the procedure does not prevent age-related eye changes, such as presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) or cataracts, which can develop later in life.

What if I am not a good candidate for LASIK?

If you are not an ideal candidate for LASIK, don't worry. There are several excellent alternatives that your ophthalmologist may recommend. These include LASEK, Epi-LASIK, Phakic IOLs (implantable lenses), or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE).

What is Wavefront-guided LASIK?

Wavefront-guided LASIK is an advanced, customized version of the procedure. It uses 3D imaging technology to create a highly detailed map of your cornea's unique imperfections. This map guides the laser, allowing for a more precise and personalized correction that can result in sharper vision and fewer side effects like night glare.

What is the difference between LASIK and LASEK?

In LASIK, a thin flap is created on the cornea using a laser or microkeratome. In LASEK, the surgeon loosens the cornea's outermost layer (the epithelium) with an alcohol solution to create a very thin flap. LASEK is often recommended for patients with thinner corneas and has a slightly longer recovery time.

Can both eyes be treated on the same day?
Treating both eyes in one session is standard practice and is what most patients travelling for surgery have done. Some surgeons prefer to treat one eye at a time in specific cases, usually because of the prescription or the corneal measurements. Ask which your surgeon recommends for you and why.
What are Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)?

Also known as implantable contact lenses, Phakic IOLs are a great alternative for patients with very high prescriptions or corneas that are too thin for LASIK. These micro-lenses are surgically placed inside the eye, in front of the natural lens, to correct vision without removing any corneal tissue.

Is LASIK reversible?
No. Reshaping the cornea removes tissue that does not grow back, so the change is permanent. If the outcome leaves you under-corrected or over-corrected, the option is a further corrective procedure rather than a reversal. Confirm you have understood this with your surgeon before you consent.
Can I have an enhancement later if my surgery was done abroad?
Sometimes. An enhancement depends on how much corneal thickness remains and on how your eyes healed, so it is assessed rather than assumed. It is harder to arrange when the first procedure was performed elsewhere, because the surgeon assessing you did not do it and will not hold your records unless you supply them. Ask before you travel whether the clinic offers enhancements and on what terms, and take your operative records home.
What is ReLEx SMILE and how does it differ from LASIK?
SMILE removes a small disc of corneal tissue through a keyhole incision instead of lifting a flap. Because no flap is created, flap-related complications do not apply, and less of the corneal surface is disturbed, which is why it is often discussed where dry eye is a concern. It treats short-sightedness and astigmatism but not long-sightedness, so it is not an option for every prescription, and not every clinic offers it.
Who will handle my follow-up when I get home?
An optometrist or ophthalmologist near you, who will not have performed the surgery. Arrange that appointment before you travel and tell them which procedure you are having, so they know what to expect and when. Take your operative report, corneal topography and medication schedule home with you, because they will not otherwise have them.
What records should I take home from the clinic?
Ask for the operative report naming the procedure and the surgeon, your pre-operative and post-operative corneal topography, the laser platform and the treatment parameters used on each eye, your pre-operative prescription and corneal thickness, and the medication schedule with drug names. Request them before you leave the clinic. They are considerably harder to obtain once you are home.
