Looking for optometrist and teeth whitening in Algodones

Wife has a new prescription and want to replace the bifocal, polarized lenses in her sunglasses and wants to get her teeth whitened. Suggestions from those with first hand experience only please.
  • We've found Costco to be best cost on exams and specs - I think there's one near Albuquerque.

    Americas Best Optical has or had a sale on. Bifocals, thin, anti glare $69. Couldn't beat that anywhere.


    This was on topic .... could not do nearly as well in Algodones... but if you think $300 is a good deal......

    Algodonas Optical....my husband got the best glasses ever there. They have specials. He got 2 pairs of glasses (bifocal) and sunglasses for less than $300. last year.

    Betal Dental.....I've been there. Permanent location, professional and uses same equipment my former dentist used.


    Thanks for the first on topic reply.


    I had laser surgery on my eyes and it made a big difference :P

    Sorry, couldn't resist! LOL.

    We also use those 2 providers and they are very good.

    As far as "America's Best" my wife and I BOTH call them America's Worst. The store in Boise put the screws to us big time. Will NEVER grace their doorway again.

    If you think that is inexpensive, you should give Zenni a look. We have been getting all our glasses their for the last six years and rarely pay more than $50. We usually get several spares and different shades since they are so affordable.

    As for the OP, I haven't been to Algodones YET but look forward to the experience in the future.
