The cost of photocoagulation in Mexico typically ranges from $400 to $700. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the ophthalmologist’s experience, the type of laser used (argon, diode, or YAG), and whether one or both eyes are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $1,900 (according to AAO). This means photocoagulation in Mexico is about 74% less than in the U.S.
Mexican clinics usually include the ophthalmology consult, pre-op eye exams, the laser procedure itself, and a follow-up visit. In the U.S., the price often covers just the procedure, with separate charges for initial evaluation, imaging (OCT or fluorescein angiography), and post-op care. Patients should confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
