simpsca Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Does anyone have experience getting prescription lenses from Dr. Claudia? Does she have a decent selection of frames? Prices comparable to others lakeside. Any input is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newjersey expat Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 As a matter of fact, I had 2 pairs from Costco ( just the prescription, not the exam) and one from her. I went to my home eye doctor who said her' s were the only ones who were made correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Costco made mine perfectly. All the glasses are made at one or two labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congodog Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I have glasses from Dr. Claudia and they are perfect and the price is comparable to other places lakeside. She is located on the carraterra at Hildago 293 in the same building as Dr. Santiago. It's mountainside between Farmacia Guadalajara and the immigration office there in Chapala. The number 293 is large and high up on the tall white buidling. You can't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsca Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thank you everyone for your replies. Off to get a new pair of glasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 . I hate to be a nay-sayer but my experience with this woman has not been all good. My wife, myself and my daughter had glasses made following her prescriptions, We are all unhappy. Mine cost more than I have paid any other source despite the fact I used my own frames. We all have trouble reading. Mine were progressive, my wife's double vision(?). My daughter just does not use hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Fitting progressive lenses in Mexico seems to be a chronic problem. Perhaps the opticos do not understand paralax, as I have noticed that they often mark the lenses when they are not sitting absolutely level, eye to eye, with the customer. That generally results in the lens being mounted with the line of transition too high or too low; usually too high. One can never adapt to that, and new lenses must be fitted. The prescription may be OK, but the positioning of the lens in the frame may be incorrect. Yes, they hate to give money back or to pay for correcting the problem.

congodog Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Actually, my bifocals were not originally done correctly and Dr. Claudia had them remade at no cost. So she will make sure they correct the problem if the lab gets it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
