Has anyone used the optometrist at Costco?

My wife made the comment that their skills must be low to work there? Agree? Disagree?

I think I am going to try it. I don't agree with my wife. My opinion is it is probably luck of the draw like anywhere. It might be bad, it might be good doctor.

I would definitely buy glasses there, just not sure about the eye exam - still probably going to try it.

Don't like that you have to buy a package of 30 exams. But it's cheaper per exam

It works for us because we have a big family and a package of 30 pretty much

TNT is going to guess the glasses they give you are enormous but cheap

Disagree on the low skills assumption

I bet its a great choice if you don't want the burden of running a practice.

That's definitely one of the pros of working in a big box.

I've used them for the past 5-6 years.
