kosika Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have been in Ajijic just 5 months so I am not yet familiar with all that is available to me. I only brought one pair of glasses with me and yesterday I noticed that one of my lenses is loose. Is there somewhere here in the village that I can take them for repair before they fall apart? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnajcha Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Dra. Claudia Camacho repaired my sunglasses. They were broken and within 4 days she returned them to me fixed and very cheap. www.camacho-choza.com Tel: 376-7656399 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbleitch Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 He is on the lake side of each carretera in Riberas and just across the side street from Mom's restaurant. That would be just east of the Telecable office and sign. They replaced a score in my glasses there several years ago and charged me 20 pesos. The screw is still in my glasses :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 kbleitch, what's a "score"? You mean a scratch on the lens? Or did you mean screw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 For some, a screw and a score are equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbleitch Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Ja, ja, RV Gringo!! Computer Guy, it was supposed to be "screw." Typing fast, autocorrect and I neglected to proofread carefully!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Any Optico should be able to do those things for you. There are some in Chapala, if you just cruise around a bit and look for the signs. I recall one on Hidalgo, lake side west of Madero, and another on Madero. There is a good one on one of the E-W streets; maybe Degollado. They are not hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Optica Cordoba is right across from the Ojo del Lago offices on the way into Chapala from the Riberas end. Yellow store frontage. Happy to fix things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bennie2 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 RV: i tried someone in chapala who said about 6 years ago that it would be 70 pesos & take a week to do. i dont trust most of these people (douteful i would have seen my glasses again, he told me it takes time on the machine). im not looking for a list of places. i asked about a recent reccommendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb9gzg Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nothing in Ajijic? I really don't want to have to take the bus or spend money on a cab to find a place in Chapala to tighten a screw on my glasses frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Perhaps Opticas Milenium (Carr. Ote. 177) can help you. They are almost straight across the street from El Torrito, Yoly's Beauty Salon etc., and near Telmex in Ajijic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 There are tiny screwdrivers available, if you know how to screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgogirl Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've used that place by Telmex. The lady fixed the small problem immediately no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9gzg Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks, everyone. As it turned out, I ended up at Lake Chapala Society on a day that the optometrist's clinic was open, and a very nice person fixed my glasses without charge.
