(WHTM) — Walmart has chosen Pennsylvania as the testing ground for an innovative approach to conducting eye exams.

The retail giant is introducing “Eye Bot” kiosks at 16 locations across the state, including 12 Walmart vision centers and four Sam’s Club Optical Centers. These kiosks promise to deliver a complete eye exam in just 15 minutes.

“In areas where access might be limited, tools like this help our teams serve customers and members more efficiently,” said Jason Wong, Regional Health & Wellness Director for Walmart, covering Pennsylvania. “It enables clinicians to focus on the comprehensive care they’re uniquely trained to provide.”

The exam costs $25 at Walmart and is free for Sam’s Club members.
