We all know Costco as the store where you can buy a bag of spaghetti that will last you the rest of…read moreyour life. But they also sell discounted airline tickets, a hearing center and vision center. Costco is big enough that they can select only the best vendors-also tested by the millions of Costco shoppers daily (and if a product doesn't sell, they get cut!) We have been to the Costco Vision Center in Hawthorne, CA. and had good experience (though the glasses make my eye muscle pull and cause eye strain but no one could tell why) so decided to go again in El Centro, CA. They don't have an optometrist yet but gave us a card for one that works out of the Costco optometry office on Saturday and Sunday. I did a separate review for Guru Sharma, Optometrist since he is only 'associated' with Costco. You see the huge wall of frames and sunglasses on the wall of the Vision Center when you first walk up. They have a large selection in a wide range of prices, from economical to designer brands. I actually picked a designer brand last time because they looked so nice and am just going to replace the sunglass lenses. They are really tough because I am rough of glasses-I hang them on a glass lanyard so I don't lose them and they get caught on counters, get food dropped on them and bump them when I carry groceries. So Costco choices of glasses pass their test for quality. I have worked with 3 different employees that work at the vision counter. All of them must have been trained really well because they could answer all my glasses which were very complicated. Every single employee seemed to know their job well-including helping to figure out what went wrong with my last glasses. They order the lenses from an offsite lab but only take 5-7 days to get. I would definitely recommend Costco Optometry. They do a great job with great prices.

Who would have thought a legit LASIK place would exist in the Valley?…read more I was born and raised in LA, and if there's one thing I've learned about the Valley... it's that finding a good doctor sometimes feels like winning the lottery. Because of that, I usually don't even bother seeing doctors locally -- it's just too hard to find someone who actually cares. I've wanted LASIK for YEARS. But every single time I planned it... I was pregnant. ‍ Timing is everything, apparently. Before finally committing, I went to two consultations in San Diego -- one at LASIK MD (which is now closed) and another in La Jolla. Both quoted me around $5k-$6k. After doing what can only be described as FBI-level research (Reddit, reviews, forums, probably a conspiracy board or two), I discovered that one of the best LASIK doctors actually works out of the Valley a few days a month. Wait... what?! In this Valley? I went in for my free consultation with Patty, who was super helpful. She explained that the actual surgery is done in San Diego, but all the pre-op and post-op appointments can be done locally in the Valley. Honestly, that's a perfect setup. Let's be real: this is LASIK. If someone messes up even a little... you go blind. So saying I did "extensive research" is an understatement. I read horror stories, success stories, stories about people seeing halos, UFOs, their ex's red flags -- everything. Surgery day came and... zero wait. None. I was shocked. The procedure itself was painless and took maybe 3 minutes. I've had longer Starbucks orders. For context, I was considered legally blind before. I've worn glasses since I can remember. Now I have perfect vision and it still feels weird. I keep reaching for glasses that don't exist anymore. No more wiping oily fingerprints off my lenses thanks to my kids. No more foggy glasses. No more smudges. No more "where did I leave my glasses" panic at 6 AM. Huge shoutout to Dr. IP and his team. I never had to wait, the staff was amazing, and the entire process was smooth. Also... why don't they advertise this more?! This is honestly life-changing. Best part: No side effects. No pain. No dry eyes. No more astigmatism. No light sensitivity. I took a nap after surgery and about 4 hours later I could already see pretty clearly. The next day it was even sharper. Imagine waking up and just... seeing. No glasses. No contacts. No squinting like a confused raccoon. 10/10 would laser my eyeballs again.
