I visited Dr. Barajas at the Doral Costco Eye Center. I got a regular eye glass exam for a reasonable price. She was very fast at doing all the tests, but she seemed to do all the necessary exams to determine eye health. My old eye doctor I had for at least a decade would take at least thirty minutes do all the tests. Dr. Barajas probably did everything in about ten minutes.
I also had my eyes dialated. It was weird going around Costco trying to look at all the items with blurry vision, so instead of trying to do errands afterwards - I'd recommend having someone drive you home after the exam.
While it was a tiny bit disconcerting that the eye exam was so speedy, she was very friendly when I asked her a question about dry eyes. She took the time to recommend a few over the counter eye drops and wrote a prescription just in case I wanted prescription eye drops in the future.
I later ordered two pairs of eyeglasses from Costco and I'm pretty happy with them.
Costco is awesome. read more
