Costco Optical Department

Jan 2026

Had an AMAZING experience with the Costco Optical Department customer specialist! We were taken care of by Christopher, who was extremely personable and helped me have the perfect fit on my new glasses. He went above and beyond, and his personality made the experience so much fun. Will go back to him in the future!

Is Costco trendy? I just know Yelp wants to ask me that question. And it sure seems like it. They're like the Target of big box wholesalers or something. Sure they've got neat stuff, I guess, but I'm trying to figure out why I should rate them any higher than the Sam's Club in town. They both have the same concept, just with different names on their stuff. There are things you can find here that you can't at the other one, and vice versa. Sam's has the best tortilla chips, Costco has those delectable coconut rolls. Sam's has better canned chicken (weird flex, I know), Costco has a better chilled room for their fruit. And they both suck at the keeping cracker cut cheese from going bad before the date on the package. There's the regular old concession stand past the checkouts where you'll wait in a long line for a long time. There's the telecomm salespeople waiting to harass you as you come in the door. And as with all wholesalers, I just can't stand the sheer volume of stuff they sell. I think it all just leads to greater waste.

Great optometrist. He is so patient and will answer your questions. He never seems hurried even when I can't decide which view is clearer (it takes a few flips of the machine for me to decide - each time). He is popular for a reason. You will need to plan ahead for an appointment, like 6 weeks ahead. I'm moving out of state and will miss his expertise.
