The family business of Óptica Italia was founded by Aguntin's father, Dr. Agustín Álvarez González, in 1967 and was the only optical service in Puerto Vallarta for 20 years.

The original location of Opticas Alvarez was in downtown Puerto Vallarta across from the town square. As time went on, Alvarez opened three more branches and their independent laboratory which is now automated, allowing urgent express service in less than one hour.

The majority of the business in the downtown office was addressing emergency repair and replacement glasses for tourists.

The expansion of the company was motivated by economic growth of the population and the needs of their patients, continuing with the Plaza Caracol branch in 1999, where they are still located today. This popular office serves both domestic and foreign clients and has become the pivotal point of Opticas Alvarez.

In 2003, the Pitillal branch opened its doors by the main square and includes products and quality service for the local working people.

Today, Opticas Alvarez maintains the Plaza Caracol and Pitillal locations, both centrally located to serve Puerto Vallarta residents and visitors.

Mission and Values: We offer the general public and tourists in Puerto Vallarta the benefit of personalized service, warmth and professionalism with which we have served our patients since 1990, achieving a repetitive clientele of locals and visitors.

We continue to keep up with the most current practices in eye care and to offer the most current inventory of popular frames, contact lenses and accessories to our clients.

Our values include personalized service, commitment, high ethics, honesty, and ongoing training.

At Alvarez Opticals, we know how important our customer's needs and requirements are, so we adapt to technological changes and rhythms of life, including specialized computer systems for optics: DIGISYS and OPTISYS. In addition, this system speeds up the waiting time for our patients including a digital image of your face on the screen showing different designs and the look that suits you best.

Our most important resource is human, as that is the foundation of our success and why we are constantly dedicated to the training and development of our staff. Currently under the advice of Reeder Consulting Company, we implement a quality system that will allow us to be just a step ahead of our competition with ISO 9000 Certification. We are proud of the level of service and commitment that our employees have during this process and in the development of their activities.

The review covers the evolution of not only visual but also eye health. This means we review the anatomical and functional condition of your eyes and its annexes. Of particular importance is certain stages of life evaluations.
 
Routine examination should give different data. First, an external review to verify that all attachments are proper and in keeping with the conditions of the anterior segment of the eye, in structure and function.

The next thing is to pass the examination refractive graduation, where we require the patient to allow us to verify corrected visual acuity, an important parameter to be recorded for future comparisons.

Next, a Fundus examination is used to identify and locate vitro-retinal and optical nerve defects caused by eye diseases or trauma. This examination is done without dilating the pupil. This test allows important findings related to other diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
