Costco Optical offers a wide selection of affordable glasses. The staff is friendly and efficient, with doctors like Dr. Nguyen providing detailed eye exams and answering questions thoroughly. Patients praise the helpfulness and kindness of the staff, including Saul who assists with frame selection. The location is convenient for many, being just minutes away from homes.
Pro: Descent prices and selection. Contacts in stock.
Cons: Will not put new lenses in glasses frames purchased at Costco if it is either purchased mire than 2 years (which is same valid time as a prescription) or the jab rejects the frame for any reason. What this mess is that your $300 frame you bought a Costco is only good for one prescription.
Conclusion: They force you to buy new glasses frame each time you get a new prescription. Your Rayban or Oakleys will be useless in 2 years.

I was thrilled to pay only $200 for both… read full review

There is a variety of frames, price ranging from what I saw $64 - $400 if not more or less. There are luxury brand named as well as non brand named frames. Staff member was helpful, straightforward, asked if I wanted transition lenses (clear… read full review
