MEDICAL TOURISM IN KOREA | Traveling USA to Korea for LASIK

Medical tourism is a growing industry all over the world, but especially for Americans. With high healthcare costs and long wait times to see doctors, many like ourselves are opting to travel overseas for procedures, especially elective procedures such as LASIK. Chris has wanted LASIK for years, and while we're in Korea, we decided to splurge on LASIK in Korea since the financial savings are significant! We had such an amazing experience with the doctor and the entire practice he had his eye surgery at, and we'd 100% do it all again. Would you travel overseas for medical tourism?
