In this English-language episode of our bilingual podcast Border Masters, we sit down with Daniel Chayet, CEO of CODET Vision Institute in Tijuana. For nearly four decades, CODET has been at the forefront of eye care innovation performing the first LASIK surgery in Mexico, inventing all-laser LASIK, and providing world-class treatment at a fraction of U.S. costs. Daniel shares the story of his father, Dr. Arturo Chayet, whose pioneering work built CODET’s global reputation, and explains how Tijuana has become a strategic hub for medical tourism. We talk about family legacy, innovation, training future physicians, and why telling the beautiful stories of the border matters more than ever. Some episodes will be in English and others in Spanish, connecting unique perspectives from both sides of the border.
