I went to J P Dental this year. John and Camilla recommended them. They did a good job. The dentist and receptionist speak English. The office is on Avenue B. Just walk in along the main road to that street and turn left onto Ave B. The main office of optometrist Best Optical is at the corner of Ave B. But they have a smaller office a little further up Ave B not too far past J P Dental. Also on Ave B is the Phoenix Pharmacy, good place to get any medications you might want to purchase including antibiotics. At the end of Ave B a little ways further past JP Dental, at the next intersection, is a very nice cafe with good food, reasonable prices. I also like it because you can have a nice, relaxed meal without getting hounded by vendors.
The turn around time on having lenses made is at least 2 hours after your exam is done.
You can of course stay at the Pilot Knob LTVA as you have the pass for that. It is an easy drive to the border crossing from there. Make your appointment early in the day and arrive at the boarder parking lot early too. There can be long lines to get to the parking lot if you go later at the prime tourist time which starts about 9:00am. That cafe opens early for breakfast. Also a good place to wait if you need to hang out waiting on lenses to be made, etc.
