The discussion on dentists in Algodones reminds me to ask the same question about eyeglasses procured south of the border. Any recommended optometrists? How did their prices compare?
My only data point was when I broke the bridge on a pair of glasses while on a 10-day Mexico cruise. I went into the first eyeglass store I came across (can't even recall which city) and asked for a price for an identical pair of glasses. The quote, including eye test, drilled blended bifocal photochromatic lenses and super light titanium frames was roughly $100. They would have been ready within 2 hours. I didn't buy them and, when we got home, the bridge alone cost me $80. (The glasses originally cost $650).
