How much is an eye exam at Costco?
Costco members can save on their annual eye exam costs by taking advantage of the Costco Optical Department’s low prices. A basic eye exam at Costco starts at just $69 for members, and this includes a thorough examination and prescription if needed.
However, if you need further testing or treatment, the cost of your exam may be higher.
Some things that could affect the cost of your eye exam include:
- If you have vision insurance. Costco is in-network with most major vision insurance providers, which means that your insurance may cover some or all of the costs of your exam. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your insurer beforehand to find out what your coverage entails.
- The type of exam you need. If you require a more comprehensive exam, such as if you have diabetes or are pregnant, the cost may be higher.
Additionally, if you need special testing, such as for glaucoma, that could also affect the price.
- The location of your exam. The vast majority of Costco Optical locations are inside of a Costco warehouse. However, there are a few standalone optical centers operated by Costco. The price of an eye exam may be slightly higher at these locations.
Overall, the cost of an eye exam at Costco is very reasonable, especially when compared to the prices charged by many independent optometrists. And remember, if you have vision insurance, be sure to check with your provider to see if they offer any coverage for exams at Costco.
