Target Optical

The people who work here are extremely helpful and enthusiastic. However, Target, being the highly appealing discount store it is, does not carry that reputation over into their optical department. In other words, their glasses are extremely overpriced. I was in to get a pair, and possibly a second, but the pair I wanted were light weight Ray-​bans, however, after… yes, AFTER my vision insurance, the frames and the lenses for my prescription the total came to over $ 300! I’d go here for an eye exam again, but would never get my glasses from here. Outrageous pricing.

If I could give ZERO stars I would! They are very nice when you buy glasses, but be prepared for your glasses to NEVER be there when they say they will be! I was told 10 – 12 business days… they weren’t there… then they said 5 more days… not there… then they told me that they weren’t even sent yet, so I had to wait another 10 days! What!!! 27 days to get my glasses that should have been here in less than 12! Incompetent to say the least!!!

So I was supposed to get a call from one the many managers at target, today. Of course she had an emegency and wont be in for couple days now. She told me she would email all the other managers about this and let the store manager know. She lied. When I called tonight, Chris told me to call back when she returned because he didnt want to do anything. Target is still charging me for glasses I never picked up and screwed my insurance claim so I cant get a pair of glasses. I called to police and will be going there with a police escort to attempt to face the lying gutless thieves in person!!! Oh yeah, called the target complaint line (i dont think its in this country), they were no help and were laughable. I will call everyone I can and picket, sue or do whatever I need to show what lying, thieving, uncaring people work at Target.

When I was in the 3^rd grade, I thought glasses were cool so I decided to fake a bad eye exam at the annual exams with the school nurse. It worked, and my mom took me to the optometrist who told my mom I had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision. The disposable sunglasses I got to wear after were pretty cool.
Flash forward to 2002. I figured I may need reading glasses, but since I hated even wearing sunglasses I ignored it. Then, when I moved to Boulder, I passed my eye exam at the DMV so it was no longer a concern. That was 10 years ago. As the expiration of my driver’s license grew closer and my ability to see street signs from a distance was getting progressively worse, I knew I had to have my eyes tested so there were no alarms and no surprises when I went to the DMV. However, I had no idea where to go. After a bit of research, I decided I’d go to Target Optical as I could make a Saturday morning appointment and it was only $ 59.99 for the regular eye exam, $ 99 for contacts. The optometrists at each location are independent of Target, so prices may vary depending on the location.
Dr. Borden is the optometrist at this location and he is fantastic. The exam was a real *eye opener* and this time I found myself struggling throughout the test. After we were done, Dr. Borden explained everything thoroughly and was really informative. He told me I was a good candidate for contacts and I decided to go in that direction while also purchasing back up glasses. I went through the contact training and both Mary and Patrick were extremely helpful and patient. Really patient. Putting them in and taking them out wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be! Mary also took the time to show me their clearance frames which included the lense price and she suggested since I was planning to only use my glasses for back up. I also opted to purchase a polarized pair of Maui Jims, you know to protect my beautiful blues against macular degeneration. With my Target RedCard, the total came to $ 345.75 for 6 months of contacts, back up glasses and sunglasses. I’m new to this but my understanding from friends is that’s a pretty good deal.
All in all, I had a great experience with Target Optical. If there was one thing that could make my experience better, it would a bit more privacy while learning how to use contacts. But this is Target so there’s only so much I can expect with that one! Another plus? Because I had a recent optometrist appointment I was able to renew my driver’s license online.
This Target Optical location is as good as it gets and I’ll definitely return to see Dr. Borden for my vision needs.

Doctor is really amazing girl at the counter is friendly but just to order contacts i waited 45 mins. Wish i was still at walmart optical quick in an out.

I have never been so impressed with an optical store in my life. I have been using Americas Best for quite some time due to finances. I chose Target Optical because they were in my network. or so I thought. The morning of the exam I was searching for my vision coverage information and found out this was going to be out of network. I called the store to find out how to proceed. Jon was very helpful with information and understanding of my situation. Looking into my vision plan I learned I could be reimbursed and chose to keep my appointment.
When I arrived I was greeted promptly even thought they were busy. My exam was very detailed and I really felt like Dr. Borden had my best interests in mind. He was willing to go over Lasik information with me and shared information about many different contacts with me so I would have the best options.
Because of their customer service and attitude I will continue to go to Target Optical in Sheridan even though it is out of network and I have to do I little more work to get reimbursed.

I had a pair of very nice glasses from here that got smashed by my room mate. I needed them for a photo event I was having in 3 days. I went in and they found a store that had them. They were the only pair left in the whole nation. Seeing that I needed them ASAP they overnighted via air mail from 1000 miles away to have them not only in on time but with a window of time large enough to make sure they worked out for me. That right there is a sign of a great optical place.
The selection is good and the glasses are trendy. The staff is out of this world.
