How much have you spent for LASIK vision correction in the US?
Question:
Answer:
Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

I had it done 2 years ago in Cincinnati Ohio and paid a total of 3800.00 for it. But I also have a life time guarantee. But what they don't tell you about the guarantee is that you still have to have eye check ups with your own eye doctor or the guarantee is null and void.
i payed 1800 3 years ago. i live in wisconsin. the price depends on how blind you are. ( i was really blind)
LASIK surgery in the US could be upwards of 3000 bucks per eye. If you are considering this surgery then an alternative for you would be to get in done in India or Thailand or Singapore or even Mexico. It's much cheaper there. For e.g. in India it's about 500 bucks per eye. So, you end up saving 60-80% even after your travel expenses and hospital stay have been paid for.
The only problem is the quality of hospitals there. But if you ensure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited, which means that the hospitals meet US standards and the service provided is world-class then the problem is solved.
One medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, apply for medical loans, plan and book your travel all at their website.
