Should be around $80, maybe even less. At least that's what I paid at the one next to the Lenscrafters in Southcentre...

Eye exams at Costco are free. All you need is a membership.

Eye exams vary from place to place.

$150 is a little high, but you have to look at what you are getting for that. Are you getting any imaging with that ? Are you contact lens wearer (some places will charge extra if you wear Contacts) ?

Most places in the city are from $80 to $125. At the low end of that you are likely getting a basic eye examination without imaging. At the high end it likely includes Retinal photography of some sort, which is very valuable.

Last week I paid $114.00 for a full eye exam at FYi Doctors in McKenzie Towne. This included computer imaging (computer image x-ray of your eye)

Is it an actual eye exam at Costco? Do they test for all the other eye diseases? Or are they strickly for vision testing? $65 is a killer deal. I usually pay $100 with my eye doctor.

I am telling you people, there is a doctor at all Costco Locations
Dr Aarti Nayar, she is young; and good what it she does.
I would strongly suggest her.
