For the first time, I bought two pairs of glasses here after my eyesight weakened recently. Very happy with them. We have Kaiser health insurance so when I decided to get Transitions lenses, I thought I should use Kaiser. As opposed to Costco's simple, straightforward ordering system, Kaiser's optometry experience was like going to a car dealership. We love Kaiser's healthcare, but this glasses business is different. After going over a BUNCH of options the estimate, before including frames, was $550! Whoa. So we scaled various specs back (I had no idea what effect they would have) to get price to $340. When I got them, I hated the lenses (I already have Costco progressives--but these new ones seemed primitive--lots of focus issues). The Transitions tinting was also very faint while I was driving. I just returned them. It wasn't until I went back to Costco that I learned that the UV tinting in cars inhibits the Transitions effect--so they don't recommend them for driving. Only outdoors/indoors. I still ordered a Transitions pair (we'll see how they work out). But the cost was a much-lower $236. Much better experience!

I found this place going in with my dad to Costco. I had no idea that they sold classes. So I went and looked at them and I saw the prices of the frames. I was like OK. this is an inexpensive but what they're gonna do is make it up on the lenses. Oh my God everything is inclusive with the lenses. The glasses are dirt cheap. I just got two pair for 450. I've got excellent Optometry insurance and when I went to LensCrafters with my Insurance Rayban pair of eyeglasses were gonna cost me 750 bucks that's with my Insurance Costco rocks. This is the second time I've gone in the place at all always go no need to go anywhere else. I just got my notification that my glasses are supposed to be in about 10 days. They came in after three. Thank you Costco you guys are awesome.

The waiting time to talk to staff is an hour on a weekday. They have check in system with a phone, and they will text you to come back when you are about 3 numbers away. However, 3 numbers could mean 30 minutes plus.
