Target Optical

Busy optical center. There was one person working with someone, but he still took the time to greet me. I felt welcome here. The man working seemed knowledgeable and like he was willing to help in any way. The service here made such a great impression on me, so much that I couldn’t wait to come home and share my experience. Thank you!

I needed eye exam for license renewal, Dr Li was great.

The best thing about the place is Dr. Yan Li… she is a good no-​nonsense doctor that knows what she is doing. the worst thing is the other people that work there have not been nearly as professional or courteous as her.

I was referred to Target Optical by a friend. At first, I had every intention on going to Lenscrafters in Medford. When calling to ask to see the doctor, the person answering the phone had a serious attitude problem and rushed me off the phone. Unfortunately, he was leaving early that afternoon and wasn’t taking appointments. Sorry, Dr. Iraca, I would have loved to met you. After reading Unilocal reviews, I knew you would have been a great go-​to. Thank your female assistant for turning me away. Thus, leading me to here.
I would say, Target Optical is very unassuming. Who would even think of going here? When I think of Target, I think of home items, girl’s stuff, some electronics, and maybe the pharmacy. But for eyes? It didn’t even cross my mind.
Here’s what Dr. Yan Li couldn’t do in the fours years I’ve had some uncertain/​unknown issue. For years, my contacts would shift around my eyes, it would start irritate, and I had no idea why. Previous doctors presumed that I had a «slight astigmatism». Previous doctors have given me different contacts to wear. My vision never changed. They didn’t take the time to see what was wrong. Sent me on my way, come back in two years.
Dr. Li – As soon as I sat down and described what was wrong, she knew she had a hunch, looked inside and under my eyelid. BAM! She was was right! It didn’t take more than five minutes. She explained what happened, and why it’s happening. It was a speedy appointment. No dilly-​dally. Straight forward. Gave me samples to try. I can’t wait for my eyes to heal. I can’t thank her enough for being so awesome.

I went into Target optical today with a pair of broken glasses– the plastic part that holds them up on my nose had fallen out. The guy behind the counter was very helpful. He told me to finish my shopping and come back in 5 minutes. Not only did he fix my glasses by replacing the piece but he did it free of charge :) Next time I need an eye exam or a new pair this is where I am going.

We found that Eddie seems to be helpful but did not look into our insurance and dismissed the coupon I brought in without giving me the price of what the coupon would have resulted in vs. in store special. We have been waiting 6 days for the glasses and I just called to learn they are in but they have not gotten around to calling everyone yet. I am not too impressed. I think I will try a different place next time.

A co-​worker recently went to a Target Optical center to get some new sunglasses. She said the prices were really reasonable and they had great deals, so I looked up the closest one to me and had to take a look.
The selection for glasses is pretty excellent. The sunglasses selection, while not as expansive, definitely had a good number of different styles. Everything was reasonably priced and they had some really good deals if you were looking to buy a full frame and lens set.
The staff was really helpful and seemed to enjoy their work — which is always a nice plus. I first went to just peruse — as I didn’t have my prescription with me and was waiting for my doctor to send me a copy. The woman who helped me was really nice and took down all of my information including the style of glasses I wanted and said they’d keep it on file in their guestbook until I sent in my prescription.
I went back a few days later and was helped by the manager (Eddie, I think his name was). Eddie was super helpful and really nice. Since I receive vision insurance, he checked with my insurance provider to see what kind of deals I could get. In the end, he got me the best price possible (which ended up being the promo that Target Optical was running!).
All in all a super pleasant experience.
