    After my great experience with a local dentist:D, I decided I should try to find an eye doctor of equal (or close) skills:eek:. Any suggestions? But you'll need to hurry if you want me to get the info while I can still see my computer screen! Just kidding, but I would like to find someone as my eyesight has diminished of late. Thanks

    My eyes are still fine, so no real advice about quality, but I can recall that we had a thread a while ago about a new eye-laser-lab-thingy next to hypermart.

    also a possibility

    Wow Rhoody,
    My eyes must be worse then I suspected... I had to go so far back from your eye chart that I nearly fell down the stairs:smile:. Thanks for your reply. I might check it out but I would still like some personal recommendations if any are available.

    Seeking optometrist

    G'day Dumites

    Several members of my Father-in-Law's family have poor eyesight and are in need of glasses.

    Next time we visit Negros we want to organise eye tests and prescription glasses for them.

    So we would appreciate being pointed in the best direction.....

    If any of you have had good or bad experiences with local Optitions, please reply.

    Recomendations in advance of our visit will assist us to assist others

    T.I.A.

    Optical Clinic

    I just got my son his first pair of glasses and we had a positive experience at:

    Santillan Optical Clinic
    Dr. Janice Santillan

    I don't see an address but it's easy to find. When heading south (the one-way direction) on Perdices turn left (toward the water and the Blvd.). It is only about 1/2 block from Perdices on the right (south) side of the street. The sign is big and clearly says the name.

    The exam should run about P150 and the frames start around P1500 and go up from there. I also saw someone getting contact lenses there. They have a variety of lenses but the basic charge is P500. I went in with my son around 3pm and picked out frames and the glasses were complete:cool: before they closed at 7pm. Hope this helps.
