Our Mission
LASIK surgery in the United States averages $5,264 per eye. In Colombia, the same procedure — using identical FDA-approved technology and performed by equally qualified surgeons — costs 60-70% less.
We created ColombiaLasik.com to bridge this gap. Our mission is to provide Americans with accurate, honest information about LASIK in Colombia and connect them with verified, board-certified ophthalmologists.
No exaggerated claims. No fake testimonials. Just data-driven information to help you make an informed decision about your vision correction.
What We Do
Verify Credentials
We only work with surgeons who are verified through Colombia's ReTHUS system and members of recognized ophthalmology associations.
Provide Information
Our guides cover everything from costs and candidacy to travel logistics and post-operative care coordination.
Connect Patients
We facilitate introductions between patients and qualified Colombian ophthalmologists based on your specific needs.
No Hidden Agendas
We're transparent about how we operate. We receive referral fees from clinics, which allows us to provide free information to patients.
Why Colombia?
Colombia has become a leading destination for medical tourism, and for good reason:
- Same technology — FDA-approved VISX, Zeiss, and Alcon lasers
- JCI-accredited hospitals — The same accreditation as Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins
- Short flights — 3-5 hours from most US cities (vs. 10+ hours to Turkey or Thailand)
- Same timezone — Medellín is on Eastern Time, making communication easy
- Modern, safe cities — Medellín's transformation is one of the great urban success stories
