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.

Would you be surprised to find out that most of the cutting edge technologies, developments, procedures and surgeries are not developed in the United States?  Do you remember the first successful heart transplant?  It didn’t occur in the United States, but Cape Town, South Africa in the late 1960s. Since then, cardiac transplantation is in the top five most commonly performed organ transplants in the United States. South Korea’s scientists are among the leaders in stem cell research, as is stem cell research development in Japan and other Asian countries. Laser assisted vision correction, also known as LASIK, was pioneered in Germany in the mid 1980s, but was not available in the United States until the mid 1990s.

Why does it take so long for treatments and procedures to be accepted in the United States? Most commonly, because most procedures, medications, and medical protocols need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the safety of such technologies and drugs are essential, individuals seeking the benefits of stem cell research must travel to Mexico, Asia, Europe or Central Europe for treatment.

The growing trend in medical tourism is caused by an increasing dissatisfaction with the healthcare system in the United States, as well as Britain and Canada.  Medical procedures in orthopedics, cardiac care or cardiology, obesity, and degenerative diseases are being studied, researched and treatments developed in locations such as EmCell, located in Kiev, Ukraine, ProgenCell, located in Tijuana, Mexico, and Integra Medical Center, located in Tamps, Mexico, just south of the Texas border.

Until such procedures are placed on the fast track within the FDA, travelers from the United States will be venturing to destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Mexico, and Central European destinations for immediate and effective, affordable medical care.

Wish you had better vision but can’t afford to spend a fortune? Wish your insurance company would cover the cost of LASIK procedures so that you could see better, work better and play better without having to worry about losing or breaking glasses or dealing with contact lenses? LASIK eye surgery is affordable, and it helps with a variety of vision impairments. Whether you have nearsightedness, astigmatism or are farsighted, laser surgery is quick, inexpensive and safe way to correct vision impairments in less than an hour. 

 

LASIK surgery involves the cornea reshaping, which is the protruding part of the surface of the eyeball.  Used to correct a wide variety of vision problems, LASIK eye surgery has become a preferred eye surgery procedure for people who have, or are experiencing vision problems such as eye myopia or nearsightedness, hypermetropia or farsightedness, as well as acuvue astigmatism.

 

Other benefits to laser surgery are the quick recovery time. In fewer than 30 minutes, you can get one or both eyes done and have little to no discomfort. LASIK eye surgery also replaces the use of scalpels in such a sensitive area of the body, reducing the number of complications that result from more traditional surgical procedures. Due to the short time it takes to complete the procedure, affordable eye surgery is within reach!

 

Look at lasik eye centers and facilities around the world for great options in affordable eye surgery, such as Makewell Meditour in Mumbai, India where lasik eye surgeons offer the best accommodations for patients, or the Almater Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico for affordable lasik eye procedure and surgery options, advanced technology and high quality facilities.

Tired of wearing contacts or dealing with glasses? LASIK eye surgery is a great option to dealing with vision issues like being nearsighted, farsighted or having astigmatism. Created in 1990, the LASIK technique blended two different surgical techniques called photorefractive keratectomy and Keratomileusis.  In its most simplistic definition, however, LASIK eye surgery is a laser eye Lasik surgical technique that involves cornea reshaping without cutting into it.

 

There are many different types of LASIK eye surgery, among them:

• Epi LASIK
• PRK Surgery
• Wavefront LASIK
• LASIK Monovision

The Lasik laser eye surgery procedures are the quickest, easiest and painless way to achieve better eyesight. In comparison with other surgeries, the laser eye surgery procedure is affordable, and usually takes less than 30 minutes to perform. LASIK eye surgery also replaces the use of scalpels in such a sensitive area of the body, reducing the number of complications that result from more traditional surgical procedures.

 

LASIK eye surgery is one of the best ways to fix visual impairment, with the least amount of complications and recovery time. With the precise procedure, one or both eyes can be done in a short amount of time.

 

Check out facilities like Angels Abroad in Guatemala City, Guatemala or Acibadem Healthcare Group in Istanbul, Turkey to get your treatment done, and do away with contacts and glasses! Eye surgery abroad is effective, affordable and accessible.

 

For custom lasik eye surgery, refer to an eye clinic that offers accredited, experienced and highly trained LASIK eye surgery experts.
