Vision care is typically the most neglected form of health and wellness care. Individuals who don’t have a vision insurance coverage with their health plans often suffer in silence because of a lack of affordable vision care options in their region. Unfortunately, ignoring eye care and eye health may have devastating effects. 

Cataracts, blurred vision, cloudy vision, and conditions such as astigmatism, amblyopia, myopia, and others are often ignored by individuals until vision is severely impaired. Access to eye clinic facilities and opportunities aren’t available in many regions, and regular eye exams, the needs for glasses, contacts, or other corrective vision therapies are often beyond the reach and means of many individuals.

Cataract surgery and LASIK procedures are some of the most commonly performed techniques in vision care today. Cataracts can be caused by eye injuries, disease, congenital defects and aging, and drops or ointments don’t provide effective and long-term solutions. The only solution for most cataracts is surgery. LASIK eye care treats a variety of vision problems, including near and farsightedness, blurred or double vision, and is performed in LASIK eye clinics around the world.

Conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and corneal grafts or corneal transplants are performed at high-tech, state of the art and world-class facilities around the world, such as the Ahalia Eye Hospital in India, which offers cataract surgery in Kerala, refractive eye surgery, squint treatment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and corneal eye transplant procedures and wave-front LASIK technology.

The technology, quality, and availability is out there. Affordable LASIK vision therapies and eye care clinics are found from India to South America, from Turkey to Jordan to Norway and South Africa. Don’t ignore your eyes - take care of them and they’ll take care of you.

You only get one set of eyes, and vision care is an essential part of overall health and well being.  Unfortunately, many of us put vision and dental care at the bottom of our health insurance needs, thinking that we won’t need glasses, corrective surgery, or suffer from eye or vision related conditions until we reach middle age or older. Unfortunately, we can never anticipate when vision problems may occur.

Individuals needing laser eye surgery, eye refractory surgery, or macular degeneration treatment, treatments for diabetic retinopathy, or corneal eye transplants often find themselves lacking the insurance to pay for such surgeries. Fortunately, travelers to international destinations can receive superlative, quality and affordable eye and LASIK care. Cataract surgery, LASIK technology, and treatments for diabetic retinopathy are available in facilities like the Ahalia Eye Hospital located in Kerala, India, a leader in eye treatments and surgical procedures in the world.

Offering choices regarding healthcare facilities and clinics, and surgeons is the goal of PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver, Colorado that focuses on educating the public and international patients to their medical, vision, and dental options.

Whether you’re suffering from glaucoma or eye conditions caused by diabetes, injury, or medical conditions that cause poor or damaged vision, individuals in international locations have options to receive timely, effective, and affordable eye treatments, eye surgeries, and are able to take advantage of state-of-the-art and world-class technologies that improve vision abroad.
