It's way cheaper for me to just go pay cash at Costco than to go to a community doc and use my vision benefit. I don't get that at all, but I'll just stick with Costco.

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

^^^^ I don't like the sound of this at all. Is this everywhere?

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

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.
