    Looks like that's bad info.. I went there today to see if they had any frames for the $300 peso glasses I bought there a year and a half ago... they did have the exact same frames..... $580 pesos... and the 'package" with lenses was $880... so they've gone up 300% in that time.. :eek::eek::eek: and I didn't see any cheaper prices than that.. so I'm withdrawing my recommendation for them.. When I told the girl there that I had bought the glasses there complete for $300 (I think is was $280 actually) she looked at me like I was on crack.. so I guess they've had higher prices for a while... :( I suspect they may have changed owners... or I got a really good sale price and didn't realize it... kinda wish I had ordered two pairs now lol

    Yea I picked up Fridas today as she needs to wear them for a week before getting the laser done and the cheapist most ugly glass was 900 Peso in the sale!. Never mind she needed them anyhow as can't wear contacts a week before.

    Well sorry about that.. hopefully they weren't too ugly for that price.. really irritates me a bit though because I know they only pay a few dollars for the frames in my glasses then ask $580 for them.. the little dollar stores have the same cheap frames from time to time in their sunglasses, so I'll just keep an eye out for ones with the same lens shape if I don't end up getting lasik myself soon...

    Remember that there are no "BARGAINS" in brain surgery OR parachutes...!!!!


    WOW!!!! After reading this thread regarding LASIK and people looking for bargains.....!!! AND also expecting a proficient ophalmologist to do the best procedure....makes me laugh.....almost out loud!

    As a high skilled American optometrist with many patients having undergone LASIK with excellent results, I perform all the post-op follow-up visits for the surgeon... I have heard many horror stories with people price shopping....! Remember, these ARE your eyes we are talking about.

    Quality & good results does cost money.......OK.....maybe not as much in Cancun as in the USA....but....the last thing I would be doing is searching for the "guy who does it the cheapest...!"

    Just my opinion - only...........

    I agree, we have booked up with the above on in Cancun after many people have reccomened it.

    Like I said a while back, you see adverts online boasting £400 per eye, you go to there free meeting and it turns out too be £2000 odd per eye. thats what we have seen anyhow.
