Lasik - Eye Care and Vision Correction

LASIKARGENTINA.COM offers you a whole package that includes LASIK eye surgery plus one week in a 4 star hotel including airport transfer for less or the same price that you get the surgery in USA or Europe. However not everybody has access to an excimer laser. LASIKARGENTINA.COM has an exclusive contract with a group that owns a top of the line worldwide excimer lasers (Allegretto). This enables us to offer a whole package, providing excellent medical quality and personalized care. We also offer other complementary services if the patient wishes to combine medical treatments with tourism.

People may be anxious why the prices are very affordable. There is no catch. Though medical professionals in Argentina achieved the same degree of training that leveled them with the top surgeons in USA or Europe, the cost of living greatly affects the price for their services.
Besides, the argentine peso is greatly undervalued against the dollar in order to be internationally more competitive in terms of relative costs.

There is little if any discomfort during surgery because the cornea and eye are anesthetized by drops. Some patients experience a "scratchy feeling." After the anesthetic wears off, the amount of discomfort varies with each individual, but any irritation is minor and usually disappears within a few hours. You may be sensitive to light for a few days.

All the people working for LASIKARGENTINA.COM speak English, specially the physician, so you will not have any communication trouble during your stay in Buenos Aires.

Before going back home, our doctors will give you your discharge summary. That means that you will be able to get back to work the first Labor Day once you are at home.

The most common side effects are:

• Dry eye symptoms for the first three to six months.

• Difficulty to see near at the beginning (only for myopia)

• People with big pupils, may experience halo effect and some glare at night around lights.

Laser treatment itself takes only about 15 to 40 seconds, based on the degree of correction necessary. Recovery is minimal, and usually the patient is able to be driven home after about 30 minutes. Typically, you will notice improved sight in 3 to 5 days following treatment.

According to the results of the U.S. clinical trials and results reported internationally, the treatment appears to be permanent. As people age, however, their eyes change and re-treatment may be necessary.

Following surgery, do not rub your eyes. Other than that, patients can do almost a normal life with exceptions of certain things like swimming or outdoor sports for three weeks.

Our laser (Allegretto) has a very accurate eye tracker system that makes the laser follow your eye movements within certain limits. Outside those limits the laser will automatically stop.

Yes, in fact over 99% of our patients no longer need glasses or contact lenses for their vision in everyday life after LASIK. In some cases people may still glasses for certain activities. For example driving or using a computer.

No surgical procedure is ever risk free. LASIK, like any other surgery, has certain risks. However, LASIK risks are minimal.

You can call off the trip until one week before flying to Argentina and you will get a refund of the 30 % deposit. After that, you will have to reschedule your trip. Your deposit will be held and consider as payment into account.
