I am wearing glasses I bought there. For the price of one pair of glasses and frames here, I can fly to Vegas, rent a car, spend a week in Yuma, get an eye exam and TWO pair of glasses and frames in Algodones, fly home and still have $100 left over.
Oh, and the glasses are ready next day. That same afternoon if you get an early morning appointment.
Can you not fly to a town closer to Mexico, than Vegas? Seems like a long drive.
No complaints on my online Chinese-owned lab glasses. Cheapest pair I had was $39 and the most expensive was $130 (progressive with all options and nice frames). Costco examination and Rx for under $100 has worked out well. Optometrist does generally dilate my eyes for retinal exam.
