Cataract surgery in Tijuana
Removal of a clouded natural lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens.
What the procedure involves
Usually under local anaesthetic as a day case, one eye at a time.
Before
Biometry to select the lens. The lens choice drives both the outcome and the price.
After
Drops for weeks and a post-operative check, so build a second visit into the plan.
Trips across the border
This normally fits into a single trip. Sequencing matters more than the headline price: two extra round trips can eat a large part of what you save. How the crossing works.

Questions patients actually ask
How many trips to Tijuana does cataract surgery take?
Usually one trip, though that depends on what the imaging shows once you're in the chair. Ask for the plan in writing before you travel.
What should I get in writing before I travel?
A written quote that lists each stage, the materials being used, what the price includes and excludes, and what happens if something needs redoing. If a clinic won't put the plan in writing before you cross the border, that tells you something.
How do I know the doctor doing this is actually qualified?
Every doctor listed on this site has their cédula profesional number published with the date it was confirmed against the federal registry, and the profile links to the registry so you can repeat the check. For a surgical procedure, also look at whether they hold specialty certification and whether it's still inside its validity window.
