Refractive surgery, including popular procedures like LASIK, PRK, and SMILE, has revolutionized the way people achieve clear vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses. As more individuals seek these life-changing treatments, medical tourism has emerged as a cost-effective solution for accessing high-quality refractive surgery abroad. Countries such as Thailand, India, Mexico, and South Korea are renowned for their state-of-the-art eye clinics, internationally trained surgeons, and affordable pricing—often up to 50-70% lower than in Western nations.
