Dental and eye care are very inexpensive in Mexico. Border towns like Los Algodones (west of Yuma AZ) have a lot of dentists and optometrists. A $4,000 dental bridge is less than $400 in Mexico. If you need glasses, they will take the required info and have a newly constructed pair delivered to the office in about an hour.

The parking lot on the US side for visitors to Los Algodones can handle more than 5,000 vehicles. Many are snowbirds from Canada.

Also prescription drugs are very inexpensive. A Z-Pac antibiotic ($80 US) sells for about $4 in Mexico. A 100 pill bottle of amoxicillin goes for about $3.

If you have certain “deficiencies” a 4 pack of viagra or cialis is about $10.

Similar to the situations in Thailand and Malaysia, which are also medical tourism destinations.
