    Thanks for that. Ive never been in our local costco, don't know any members and there is no info on their website - so thought perhaps they don't do optical in UK. However I'll give the a call and ask now.

    I have Zeiss but get them from Specsavers,You get in my opinion ( and have worn varifocals for years) the best lenses but at the best price.
    You are never offered Zeiss in the first place at Specsavers because they try and promote thier own brand. But when asked they will happily supply Zeiss.

    I asked my local branch and they said nope - only supply their 'Pentax'

    Has no-one ever price compared with COSTCO Opticians?

    Even if you weren't a member it would be worth joining just to get glasses.

    I've just had a look at membership and neither me or my partner would qualify :(
