Is there anything between Costco and an optometrist in terms of cost for getting lenses replaced? Need new lenses for single vision and computer glasses progressives and Costco I have to ship the frames away.

My optometrist quoted $880 for both sets of lenses but they do have locations locally that can grind them. But compare that to Costco which is like $200 for both (they charge $30 extra for grinding and I have to send the frames away).

Kinda want something in the middle that can grind them locally.

Knut can your place grind new lenses locally (like while I wait, or over short period)?
