LASIK from $1,400 for both eyes — performed by board-certified surgeons using the same technology as top US clinics. We handle everything in English: consultations, appointments, and follow-up care.
Medellín clinics offer the full range of laser vision correction using FDA-approved technology from Alcon, VISX, and Zeiss — the same equipment used in leading US and European clinics.
Original laser correction. No flap created — ideal for thin corneas or active/military lifestyles. Longer recovery (5–7 days).
Both eyes, all-inclusive
The gold standard. A corneal flap is created, then an excimer laser reshapes the tissue beneath. Vision improves within hours.
Both eyes, all-inclusive
Latest generation. A tiny incision removes a small piece of corneal tissue. Less dry eye, smaller incision, greater corneal stability.

Day 1: comprehensive eye exam and candidacy assessment. If approved, surgery is typically Day 2. The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes.
Most patients see clearly within 24 hours. We coordinate your follow-up appointments and remain available for any questions during recovery.
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often.
Yes — when performed at accredited clinics by board-certified surgeons. Medellín's top ophthalmologists have trained internationally, use the same FDA-approved equipment as US clinics, and follow the same surgical protocols. Colombia's healthcare system is ranked 22nd globally by the WHO. We only work with surgeons who meet international accreditation standards and have extensive track records.
Lower operating costs — real estate, staff salaries, malpractice insurance, and administrative overhead are all significantly lower in Colombia. The technology, surgeon training, and surgical protocols are equivalent. You are not getting inferior care — you are getting care without US-level overhead costs.
Plan for 5–7 days. Day 1 is your comprehensive eye exam, Day 2 is surgery, and you will have follow-up appointments on Days 3 and 5–7. Many patients extend their stay to enjoy the city during recovery — Medellín's warm climate and walkable neighbourhoods make it a pleasant place to heal.
Many do — especially those who trained in the US or UK. Regardless, we provide full English-language support at every stage: before, during, and after your procedure. You will never be left wondering what is happening.
Flying is technically safe 24–48 hours after LASIK, but we recommend waiting 5–7 days for comfort. Airplane cabins have very low humidity (10–20%), which can worsen post-surgical dry eye. Bring preservative-free artificial tears and use them frequently during your flight.
Yes. LASIK is an IRS-approved eligible expense for both HSA and FSA accounts, even when performed abroad. This means you can pay with pre-tax dollars, effectively saving an additional 20–30% depending on your tax bracket. Keep your receipts and the clinic's invoice.
Our service is completely free to you. We are compensated by partner clinics when patients proceed with surgery, so there is never a charge for our consultation, recommendations, or coordination.
