  • Costco has more than 92.2 million card-holding members worldwide.
  • Costco Optical is one of the author's favorite benefits.
  • It accepts most vision insurance and provides affordable appointment rates to those without plans.
  • Costco Optical prides itself on its knowledgeable staff, which includes licensed optometrists.
  • Additional vision benefits are offered to Costco members online.

I bought my first Costco membership in 2010, joining the ranks of over 90 million cardholders. I made the $60 investment all because of Costco Optical.

I love that you can get a whole meal out of their free samples and DIY an ice cream float by combing frozen yogurt with a soda at the food court, but it's the optical lab that keeps me a loyal member to Costco.
