If you're looking for a quick in and out experience in order to get your contacts and glasses prescription updated then Costco Optical might be for you. If you're looking for a relaxing and hand held experience with a lot of attention and conversation then I would pick a different optometrist. The woman I talked to on the phone to book the appointment was helpful and friendly while taking my info. You don't need a Costco card in order to see the eye doctor but you do need a card to purchase glasses/contacts through Costco. When I arrived I waked into a tiny room and was greeted by the women working. I filled out a one page form and after a 10 minute wait I went into the optometrist's office. He was nice but wasn't looking to make much conversation which I didn't really mind. He did the eye exam, had me put in some new updated prescription contacts and sent me on my way. I'm glad I've done this yearly since I was a teenager so I didn't have any questions and wanted to be done just as fast as he did but for someone who is new to getting their eyes checked or has lots of questions I'm not sure how the interaction here would go. The exam was $103 for my glasses/contact prescription since my insurance didn't cover it which is reasonable. The parking lot here is crazy so give yourself time to find a spot. read more
