    The doctor is incredibly kind and explains everything in great detail. She's prescribed my glasses twice and also my contact lenses, which she taught me how to use, in addition to guiding me on the correct cleaning solutions and eye drops. The exam is thorough, and she makes sure your eyes are healthy. I recommend scheduling your appointment well in advance.

    I had ptergyrium surgery done by Dra May Cadena Cadena in January 2026. From first contacting her office to surgery date it took only 5 weeks. Dr Cadena explained the process very well. I felt confident and comfortable. The facilities were bright and clean and the staff very friendly. I felt well taken care of and am more than happy with the results.

    She sold me lots of medicine but none of it helped my problem. Not a very good doctor. Very disappointing.

    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Cadenas team of happy professionals. I received upper and lower blathroplasty. The quality of her work is exceptional. Her sutures are art ! I had no bruising, and when I compared the sutures with others on YouTube. I must say , many looked like they had the stitches of Frankenstein! The surgery took three hours with a team of four people, and was a great value too . She took into account my very fine skin and age and the results are just as I hoped , not too much , not too little , just right. Thr experience was one of complete trust in her exceptional skills . Make the choice , put yourself in her care . Gordon Bell

    I had the opportunity to meet Dr May Cadena in January, 2026 following recommendations and an online review. From the first consultation I felt confident in her ability to address my concerns. Within a week, I had my consult, pre-op bloodwork, EKG and surgery, due to a cancellation in her very busy schedule.From start to finish , I was impressed with her skill, professionalism, and excellent attention to detail.. As a nurse, am critical and results oriented.. Dr. Cadena answered all questions and I never felt rushed..A big shoutout goes to her office manager, Mariana who is so efficient, she has the answers to your questions before you can think of them..Thank-you for making the process so easy. Although am still recovering, the results are obvious and anticipate the outcome will be as anticipated.. Gracias a todos por todo. 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    They charge you for the test. I'm from Guadalajara and I've never been charged for the test before. After that, I don't even feel like buying glasses anymore.

    I went to see if I could buy some daily contact lenses. When I arrived, they told me I needed an appointment; however, they suddenly rushed me in and gave me a standard eye exam, like the ones they do at any ophthalmology clinic. At the end, they told me I did need the lenses. I told them that was fine and that I would pay for them on the 15th. Without warning me beforehand, they charged me $1,200 pesos for the consultation, something that had never happened to me before, even though I'm from Mexico City and have been to some pretty expensive areas. I admit it was my mistake not to ask about the consultation fee from the beginning. I'm just mentioning this so you can compare prices and ask beforehand.

    The doctor is an excellent professional. She performed my eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty), and I was completely satisfied. She was efficient, kind, and very careful. I highly recommend her.

    About Medical Conditions & Treatments

    How much is LASIK eye surgery in Mexico?

    LASIK eye surgery cost in Mexico typically ranges from $800-1,500 per eye, representing savings of 60-80% compared to US prices of $2,000-4,000 per eye. The exact cost of LASIK in Mexico depends on the technology used, surgeon experience, and clinic location. Popular destinations like Tijuana, Mexico City, and Cancun offer competitive pricing with package deals often including pre-operative consultations, surgery, post-operative care, and sometimes accommodation assistance. These significant cost savings make Mexico an attractive destination for high-quality vision correction.

    Who to see for eye infection?

    For eye infections, you should see an ophthalmologist - a medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. While optometrists can treat some minor eye infections, ophthalmologists are best equipped to handle serious infections, provide prescription medications, and manage complications. Our English-speaking ophthalmologists in Mexico offer comprehensive eye infection treatment with same-day appointments available.
