COMPARISON COSTS FOR DENTAL AND EYE GLASSES

My brother in law is in Bogota spending a month visiting his old girlfriend. He rented a room in Bogota in a family home for $100 usa a month. Having teeth problems, he went to the dentists. They said three of his teeth were to rotten to take root canals. So he had them pulled and a bridge made. Took about 5 days in total. Cost was half what it costs in Santa Elena Town, in Western Belize. Quicker too! Presumably because in a metropolis of 6 million people, there are more services. Dental prices in Belize are about 1/3 rd of Miami, Florida, USA dentistry costs are about $1200 usa. The results the same.

Eye glasses have gone up in Bogota. I usually have him bring me new bi focal spectacles. Used to be $50 Bz, or $25 usa, but they have gone up to $30 usa lately. The same thing, eye exam and spectacles runs around $300 usa in Miami and about $250 usa in Belize including the eye exam. $30 usa in Bogota, Colombia.
