Has anyone bought progessive eyeglass lenses from Costco?!
Question: In trying to buy inexpensive progressive eyeglasses. I measured the specifications an online site requested, but when I got the eyeglasses, the size wasn't right for my eyes and I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending them back and getting another bad pair. Then I went to Target, thinking they'd be cheap, but the clerk was talking on the phone and didn't feel like working. Besides that, Target was expensive! And there was a bad selection. According to consumer reports, Costco can save you $200 on glasses. I want to go today. Has anyone tried them or have a suggestion other than online sites? Thanks.

You get what you pay for. Places like Costco tend to use an "in-house" progressive design because its cheap and easy for them to get. If you do decide to go to Costco, take your finished glasses back to your eye doctors office just to make sure they were made correctly. Most offices offer that courtesy to you.
