I wish I had shopped Costco Optical back when they opened in Issaquah in 2015. I assumed my insurance was a better deal than Costco. WRONG! I finally made the leap in 2024. Mind blown! Better prices, awesome Customer Service and a quicker turn-around. Recently I went in for new everyday glasses and a new pair for computing. Paul was super friendly and helpful. He asked me if I might be interested in multi‑functional lenses for my computer glasses. I stared at Paul blankly. He explained they are designed to handle more than just one type of vision correction in a single lens. They combine features to give you clear vision at multiple distances — typically near, intermediate, and far — in one prescription. I assumed they would be more expensive but were actually cheaper than my progressives by $60! Both pairs of glasses cost me $325.96. (They have a deal if you buy 2 pair, you get $50 off the second pair.) After picking them up, I needed to have them adjusted. Kathie was awesome by making my progressives fit lower on my nose and loosened up the temples on my computer glasses so they weren't so tight on my, uh, temples. She was engaging and patient as I asked her to make adjustments twice on both pairs. But she got them dialed in perfectly. What a great experience! They take some insurance plans and if not yours, it's still a screaming deal.
