LASIK Vision Correction
LASIK is a procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency on eye glasses or contact lenses.
The goal of this Web site is to provide objective information about LASIK eye surgery in general, in the Philippines, in particular. Learn about what you should know before surgery, what will happen during the procedure, and what you should expect afterwards. We have included other important information such as risks and benefits of this popular vision correction procedure, what to look for in a Lasik surgeon, plus a whole lot of other useful information on the subject.
We also include links to Asian, Philippine & other sources of information and services pertaining to LASIK procedures.
Why are folks from the U.S.A. and other countries having their vision corrected in Asia, and especially in the Philippines? Because you can get it done here for much less, and for the price one would pay, add a tour of the country or region and "recuperate" in style, with the famed Asian hospitality and care.
Why would it be cheaper in Asia? Largely because the insurance costs that doctors have to pay is much less than in America, for example. Paying a much lower rate does not mean that the customer or parient will get inferior service or skill -- the quality of work and equipment used would be comparable, if not better, too -- it's just that your money goes a long, long way on this side of the world.
Because the procedure can be had in Asia at a fraction of the costs, you can have money left over for what is a popular catch phrase these days -- medical tourism. Tour exotic Asia while 'recuperating' from lasik eye surgery! In the Philippines, in particular, the English language is widely spoken and understood so you shouldn't have a problem getting around.
