The open Optometrist stores are not that uncommon, here in PA I could throw up Shingle to sell glasses and be in business tomorrow. Guess you have to go by reputation.
My father had the Coke glasses, so bad they would not take him in WWII. Prescription of -12 and -13, I recall, very crippling when he lost them! On the other hand, where I needed a Loupe to examine something small, he could take his glasses off and hold it an inch from his eye and see good! Bill Coleman C&C 39 I'm down in Banderas Bay at the moment, back on the hook since I now trust mychain. I've been hanging here to work with an Ophthalmologist that I trust. My eyes are pretty weird -- I'm one of those people who have worn coke-bottle bottoms since 4 years old. I wear glasses over contacts. Apparently, people with eyes like mine don't live long down here. They get hit by a busin childhood. I'vespent a lot of money learning that you don't have to be licensed or trained to sell glasses and contact lenses down here. You just hang up a sign that says "Optica." I've been given the totally wrong prescription. (Hey, you wanted lentes contactos, these are lentes contactos, what's the problem?) So yeah, I've got a good Dentist in La Paz, and a good Ophthalmologistin Bucerias, and a Woman in Santiago. Good thing I have a boat. you wrote: > <snip> And that's a lot of money to spend on Marinas.
