I had it done and now my vision is 20/20. Lasik surgery was invented in Colombia.

I had it done about 4 years ago in Cali at the Clinica Optamalogica in Nueva Tequendama. It cost just under $1.500.000, and I'm very satisfied with the results: I've now got near perfect vision.

Simon's right, too:
"The LASIK technique was made possible by the Colombian-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure called keratomileusis."
