Since Target Optical consists of an independent optometrist and a separate eyeglass vendor, I feel…read moreit's appropriate to rate each individually. Optometrist- Dr. Jimmy Chen. (5/5 Stars) I have been seen by Dr. Chen twice in the past two years and he is THE BEST. He is knowledgeable, professional, and patient (no pun intended). Other optometrists try to sell you on bogus refractory mapping exams. Dr. Chen told me from day 1 that they are not accurate and that he doesn't believe in them and doesn't use them. In fact, before seeng Dr. Chen for the first time, I took my son to a different optometrist in the area who recommended a follow up exam with an ophthalmologist based on what he/she saw from the refractory mapping exam. The ophthalmologist couldn't believe the optometrist told us to schedule the appointment since absolutely NOTHING was found. Dr. Chen conducts the same exam manually (i.e., by personally examining your eyes) using dialation. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and wouldn't think of taking my family anywhere else. Eyeglasses - Luxottica (5/5 Stars) I didn't know this earlier but was recently informed that the Target Optical "employees" are actually employed by a company called Luxottica. Google Luxottica and you will find out how big they are and what they do. The salesman (for lack of a better term) did a good job recommending a few pairs of glasses and sunglasses. I knew before my appointment that I was going to get a pair of eyeglasses AND sunglasses. The salesman did a good job of explaining the benefits of using insurance vs using Target Optical specials. Fortunately, I was able to take advantage of both. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my exam and eyeglass purchase.

We've had to go back for minor glasses repairs as well and they are quick to help with no charge. I highly recommend Target Optical if you need glasses, contacts or an eye exam.

I usually purchase new eyeglasses from the place where I go for my annual eye exam (Doctor Gore in…read moreHaymarket). However, their frames selection is somewhat limited - so armed with my prescription - I went shopping for a couple new pairs of eyeglasses. I found two that I liked - one regular eyeglasses - and one for a pair of prescription polarized sunglasses. I had already utilized and maxed out my insurance benefit for the year on another new pair of eyeglasses - but they gave me some sort of discount. They texted me when each pair arrived - to come pick them up. Happy with the new glasses! #LensCrafters

With a medical condition that I have, it was suspected that I had optic neuritis. For not much extra, they had a machine that was able to take a look inside of my eyes and at my optic nerves so that we can easily see and keep track of my condition. Once I decided on glasses and paid, I was told it would be 1.5-2 weeks to get the glasses made and ready for pickup. I received a call within a week. i am very happy with this location and definitely plan to continue coming here while I am living here.

Completly Misleanding, almost fraudulent! The staff in the office of Dr. Bermel, attempted to sell…read moreme an eye procedure for my daughter. (Ortho-K/Gentle Molding). They quoted me a price of $2,000.00- $2,500.00 for the Gentle Molding procedure. They stated that Dr. Bermel needed to consult with my daughter to give me an exact figure. They charged me a consultation fee of $189.00, and upon meeting with Dr. Bermel, he came back with a fee/price of $7,000.00. He stated that my daughters eyes showed signs of advanced myopia. But he knew that prior to the consultation, because they had just done her eye exam, and subsequently informed me that she was a good candidate for the Gentle Molding procedure because of her advanced myopia. After the quote from Dr. Bermel, I contacted the office manager that origially talked me into the consultation. She seemed shocked about the high quote, and stated she would look into what she could do and call me back. Side note, I didn't get a call back, and I had to reach out to her to only hear that there was nothing she could do. I reminded her that she told me the cost would not exceed $2,500.00 and I should get an opinion from "the best, Dr. Bermel". They refused to give me back my consultation fee even after being shocked about the price Dr. Bermel quoted $7,000.00. Sadly I already purchased glasses with them for my daughter. I was going to continue our services with this office for my whole family, not anymore. I honestly should have been provided a refund based on their failure to provide a price quote within the range originally quoted. This office could care less about you, and more about high pressure sales with little reguard for how their actions seem misleading. Round of applause for Dr. Bermel's office for failure to stand by their word. Oral contracts are binding in Virginia. And perhaps they need to fully disclose prices and not mislead potential customers. I have made a complaint to my employer so they are aware of the misleading sale tactics they used. I have also subsequenlty filed a complaint with the BBB to have them put on notice.
