Less than 20 miles from the San Diego International Airport, CODET is a hub for medical tourism; we’ve welcomed tens of thousands of patients from around the world looking for quality vision care at a fair price — and an unforgettable cultural experience.
Advanced Technology and Impeccable Facilities
CODET Vision Institute is a beautifully designed, impeccably maintained 25,000-square-foot facility filled with advanced technology — some of which was invented by our doctors (for example, All-Laser-LASIK in 1995 by Dr. Arturo Chayet).
Our leading clinical research department gives us constant early access to new and emerging technology; this also allows us to offer exclusive ophthalmologic solutions not yet available in the United States due to the FDA’s long regulatory approval process.

INSIGHTS: A PATIENT STORY
Bill Mulkins, from Brooklyn, New York, traveled to CODET in Tijuana, Mexico to get Cataract Surgery.
The procedure changed his life!
I was going blind. I could only see in two-dimension, basically. Dr. Chayet made the plan… I could see brilliantly from a distance the first day, and I see clearer every day. I’m at the point where I can read. CODET is a brilliant place.
