Les normes de soins de santé dans les centres indiens d’ophtalmologie laser sont conformes aux normes mondiales élevées. Les ophtalmologistes en Inde offrent la plus large gamme de services au monde. Le principal avantage du système médical indien réside dans les prix abordables pour des services de haute qualité. L’Inde est considérée comme le pays le moins cher pour la chirurgie oculaire au laser. Les coûts de la chirurgie de la vue au laser sont ici 40 à 100 % moins élevés que dans les autres pays asiatiques et européens.
L’Espagne est l’un des meilleurs pays au monde pour la chirurgie oculaire au laser. Les centres de vision laser espagnols présentent le meilleur système de santé au monde. L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) lui a attribué le 7ème rang mondial pour la haute qualité des soins médicaux. Le coût d’une opération au laser pour les yeux en Espagne est 70 % inférieur à celui des États-Unis et du Royaume-Uni.
Plus d’un million de touristes médicaux du monde entier visitent la Thaïlande chaque année. Phuket et Bangkok sont les principales destinations médicales du tourisme médical thaïlandais. Les villes offrent des infrastructures de santé modernes, séjournant dans des centres ressemblant à des complexes hôteliers de luxe et une délicieuse cuisine thaïlandaise. Les coûts bon marché de la chirurgie oculaire au laser s'accompagnent ici d'une excellente qualité des services ophtalmologiques. Les touristes médicaux peuvent économiser jusqu'à 75 % de leur argent en Thaïlande par rapport aux États-Unis, à l'Australie et au Royaume-Uni.
L’Allemagne est l’un des meilleurs endroits au monde pour la chirurgie oculaire au laser. Chaque année, plus de 200 000 touristes médicaux choisissent les centres allemands de vision laser en raison de leur excellente qualité. Les ophtalmologistes allemands proposent des techniques et des procédures qui ne sont pas disponibles dans les pays les moins développés. Les ophtalmologistes figurent dans la liste des meilleurs chirurgiens ophtalmologistes du monde entier, selon le magazine Forbes. L'opération au laser pour les yeux coûte ici plus cher que dans les pays d'Asie ou d'Europe de l'Est. Mais par rapport aux centres d'ophtalmologie laser américains et britanniques, les prix en Allemagne sont inférieurs de 15 % .
En raison de la haute qualité des installations médicales privées et du prix abordable, l’Ukraine est devenue très populaire parmi les touristes médicaux. Les ophtalmologistes ukrainiens proposent la chirurgie oculaire au laser la moins chère d'Europe. Les prix ici sont jusqu'à 50 % inférieurs à ceux de l'Allemagne ou de l'Espagne. Avec la Thaïlande, l’Inde, la Lettonie et la Turquie, l’Ukraine est l’endroit le moins cher au monde pour se faire opérer des yeux au laser.
