Over 20 Years Of Experience In The Heart Of Tijuana. Come and See The Difference With Us
Refraction, tonometry, biomicroscopy and fundus exam are performed to provide early detection of problems & preventable conditions. Save money and protect your health in one simple visit.
SMILE procedure (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), developed by ZEISS, has become the leading choice for most patients – A third generation laser vision correction option.
With state of the art equipment like CataPulse (pulsed vacuum cataract removal), LenSx (femtosecond laser), and top tier phacoemulsification systems.
A tried and true procedure – LASIK is performed quickly and precisely, leading to a rapid healing time with minimal down time and sharp vision.
These lenses have been designed to address refractive errors in people who began losing the ability to read or see closely. These lenses are an additional option to replace monofocal intraocular lenses.
Extended time at home and online work has created another epidemic: myopia or nearsighted, especially in children. Detection early can stop the progression of myopia.
We diagnose and manage ocular diseases such as Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and Cataracts.

Clinic Testimonials
Incredible service.
Came in as a walking and was seen by a doctor in 20 min.
Very informative, very clear about what procedures they were doing and why they were doing them.
I ended up needing an x-Ray and found out I had a partial detached retina.
Doctor explained to me what I needed for treatment and I was off to the races.
Very easy going people, plenty of people here whom speak English for my English speaking folks.
Will definitely recommend them in the future!
My wife was a little skeptical about doing eye surgery in Mexico. After we visited Dr Mendez’s clinic, We were really amazed with the cleanliness and all the the latest technology in the clinic. All of the staff was very friendly, especially Dr Moreno. He was very thorough, and went above and beyond to explain the whole process to my wife and answer any questions that she had. She now has 20/20 vision. Thank you for everything you have done for her. I would highly recommend this facility to everyone.
I am very satisfied with my service at Vision Mendez. All the staff speak perfect English, their facility was very clean, and the service was extremely efficient.
Dr. Mendez was very patient, caring, and attended to all my needs during the procedure. The procedure itself was very easy. I just laid there and stared at a light and followed Dr. Mendez’ instructions. Within 30 minutes, I was able to see well enough to walk around outside at night, and by the next morning, I was seeing everything well.
Dr Mendez deserves 10 stars. He was amazing with both of my girls!! Everyone there was so nice and polite. The fact that they were able to get them seen so fast was great! In San Diego they weren’t able to be seen until September but Dr Mendez got me in the next couple of days. I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Dr. Mendez you are amazing
