There is no normal for a doctors office here in Mazatlan. This was on the second floor of a building in a multi block area of medical offices, laboratories and pharmacies. We soon figured out that this was the general waiting room and we had to find a sign on a door for the eye specialist.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I only had to wait about ten minutes before being ushered in the office. Dra Diana Raya, asked me the usual information re my past eye history. She then checked me on three different machines. Bottom line, the lenses that were put into my eyes back in Kelowna this past August give me perfect 20\/20 eyesight. While 20\/20 vision is considered normal, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily represent perfect vision. However both of my eyes are in great condition she said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6350\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/20\/it-was-time-for-me-to-see-the-ophthalmologist\/img_8820\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6350\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6350\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-1000x750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8820-285x215.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The usual 1, 2 or 3 choice re best vision.

Oh and of course I could see them clearly. Looking forward to picking up my glasses next week.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As you know I have been using readers since my eye surgery and it appears that my left eye requires &#8216;help&#8221;. So I have the choice of using regular eye glasses for walking around the house and using the readers as I have been doing. Or I can go back to progressive lenses which I have been wearing for many many years. Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was three years old.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6353\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/20\/it-was-time-for-me-to-see-the-ophthalmologist\/img_0273-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6353\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6353\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-625x750.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-625x750.jpeg 625w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-125x150.jpeg 125w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-768x922.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-1279x1536.jpeg 1279w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0273-2-1706x2048.jpeg 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Next stop was a quick trip by Didi to Pancho&#8217;s Restaurant on Av.

I did this once many many many many years ( really yes &#8211; \u00a0that very many ) in Barbados. Once in a lifetime is enough.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So I decided to go with progressives. That will work for both my reading and my computer use plus I will have be able to measure soap for the washing machine and chop veggies, read a recipe, etc. However because my distance vision is good I can simply sit out outside and watch the ocean or go for a walk on the beach. However at a restaurant I will need glasses ( or readers ) to read the menu. \u00a0They were supposed to be ready Wednesday but it has been Semana Santa and therefore only a 3 day work week. I never got the call so I can&#8217;t tell you yet how the glasses are working.<\/p>\n<p>But I can tell you that the medical system here is fantastic. No longer than a one week wait to see your specialist of choice. 800MXN ( 56.00 CAD\/ 40.00 USD ) for the consultation. I am using my own frames, my favorite teal ones and the cost for the progressive lenses are 2350MXN \u00a0( 165.00 CAD \/ 118.00 USD ). Much much less than we would pay back home in Canada to see the eye doctor and <em>considerably<\/em> less to buy new lenses.<\/p>\n<p>So what next &#8211; Monday was a busy but really great day! \u00a0Did a bit of local shopping. Trying to \u00a0get some driving chair covers made. A work in progress. \u00a0Next a quick trip to Soriana via Didi. I have actually run out of wine this trip. However I got a good tip from a friend about a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc &#8220;Vina Maipo&#8221;. I can afford the price per bottle but it certainly isn&#8217;t a great Canadian or American vino blanco. My taste buds will have to adapt. Who knows when we will cross a Northern border to replenish the wine cellar?<\/p>\n<p>So back to the Playa Sur Embarcadero with our 12 bottles wine. Four Didi&#8217;s used this day for a total of 218 MXN \/ 15.00 CAD. Well worth every peso. Of course this is when we were treated to our private concert on the boat back to the Isla. \u00a0Reposted for you just below&#8230;..loved all the music today.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 0294\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9fj_UC03D6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"WaaZC\">\n<div class=\"RJPOee EIJn2\">\n<div class=\"rPeykc\" data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi5vtmw9eeMAxUw48kDHVGlGmUQo_EKegQIBRAB\">\n<div class=\"NPrrbc\" data-cid=\"b22f2c45-0fd9-4355-95ba-51c02f79fe1f\" data-uuids=\"9778549341283707371,9778549341283707112,9778549341283706853\">\n<div class=\"BMebGe btku5b fCrZyc LwdV0e FR7ZSc OJeuxf\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"View related links\" data-hveid=\"CAYQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi5vtmw9eeMAxUw48kDHVGlGmUQ3fYKegQIBhAB\">\n<div class=\"niO4u\">\n<div class=\"kHtcsd\">Took three nice sunset shots this Monday but only sharing one right now.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_6366\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/20\/it-was-time-for-me-to-see-the-ophthalmologist\/img_0295-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6366\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6366\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6366\" src=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-1000x750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/contessajewall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0295-3-285x215.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6366\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taken from my new you know where &#8211; oh yes the names are to be announced soon.
