Eye care

Has anyone had to get any eye care or new glasses in belize?

I can't belive no one has had to have any kind of eye care since they have move to Belize

I brought three pair of glasses with me from the states.  I have friends who went to Chetumal for eye care.

We like Dr. Valdez in Belize City. Reading glasses for me and prescription sunglasses for my husband.

How did the prices compare to US $

Datasavant - could not tell you about US comparison as we are from Canada.
Perhaps phone or email some of the optometrists in Belize with your prescription and get a price.

I just bought glasses here in the states with no insurance. Two pair, non-designer frames and eye exam cost me about $ 140.00 US. With insurance it was going to cost (out of pocket) $ 168.00. Go figure?
