What patients like

  1. Cataract treatment efficacy. Patients appreciate the high success rates of cataract treatments in Mexico, which often utilize advanced techniques like phacoemulsification and laser surgery.
  2. Doctor's professionalism. Mexican ophthalmologists are often members of international medical bodies, like the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and have extensive experience in cataract surgeries.
  3. Cost. The Cataract treatment cost in Mexico varies from $4550 to $9100. This is significantly less than the average cost in the US, which can range up to $3500 per eye.
  4. Service level. Mexican medical facilities are known for their high service standards, with multilingual staff and patient-centered care protocols.
  5. Logistics. Mexico's proximity to the US and well-connected international airports make it an easily accessible destination for medical tourism.

What patients don't like

  2. Variable standards of care. The quality of care and facilities can vary significantly between different hospitals and regions in Mexico.
