Truly Outstanding Service I recently posted a detailed review on Google because I was so impressed with Lynn Nguyen and her team--and I wanted to share it here as well to help others looking for expert help with smart glasses. I visited to explore the new Meta glasses and was immediately impressed with Lynn's depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care. She walked me through the Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta styles, answered every question patiently, and even reviewed my insurance benefits on the spot. That kind of effort saved me time and stress. The whole experience felt thoughtful and personalized. I've never had this level of service at any optical store. If you're even a little curious about smart eyewear or just want honest, informed help, ask for Lynn. You'll be glad you did. read more

The Target store is nice. Good location and everything is well organized. Store is clean and employees are always so nice. The actual store rating is a solid 5-star rating. Now, the Target Optical in there is a different story. Two of the girls there aren't very nice. One identified herself as a manager but she didn't act as a manager, just plainly rude and unprofessional. She had very poor customer service skills. I don't see the doctor there so I can't rate the doctor onsite. I'd usually go to my own doctor. Then bring my prescription there to get the Coach frames for the glasses for several years. But their prices for frames and lenses are just as high as doctor's offices. There's an up charge for everything on the lenses. These options are included at Costco with the lenses purchase! We just stopped giving them the business and go somewhere else because of their attitude. read more

I wrote a stellar review because I felt like I'd gotten a such a comprehensive exam. I've had to go back 3 times to have my glasses redone because the prescription was so off I couldn't see. Not at all worth $400. Go to Costco. Less expensive, done right the first time and I used to get glasses and contacts perfect the first time. read more

Good was the eye exam. Bad was picking up my new Ray Ban Prescription sun glasses and they did not fit me properly.

I love coming here to get my glasses! The manager is super nice and was very informative! Dr is very attentive as well. Definitely recommend this place! read more

The girls said the lenses alone were over $200 , then I looked online and it says $85 for lenses when inputed my prescription WHAT A JOKE read more

Dr. Damon Lee is a great optometrist. Patient with my questions, his professionalism and skill is most appreciated and I feel well taken care of here. The Target corporation on the other hand, gets meaner, greedier and less and less a preferred vendor. And this was before the current presidential regime. I hate to say it but I'll be getting my glasses somewhere else. Shame on Target read more

purchased lenses but technician would not take responsibility for damaged or broken frames if exchanging them. what is the purpose of buying the lenses if they can't or won't replace them read more

This Target Optical has been the best experience I've ever had at any other location! Ms. Lynn is like your favorite auntie in the family that always has super awesome conversations with and will always have your back! I live in Lake Elsinore and drive all the way here just so I can see Ms. Lynn again! Seriously, stop looking for other optometrists AND COME TO THIS LOCATION!!! Your appointment time is quick, the prices are great and you leave feeling better than when you arrived! Auntie Lynn will take care of you every, single, time! read more

De Lee is great and the staff is wonderful as well. Highly recommend this location! The frames selection is good as well.

This review is for Lynn N. the Optical Manager. I have been using this optical center for years and by years I mean over 15. I continue to do so because of Lynn and of course Dr. Lee. Lynn is amazing. She is truly gifted in her craft and goes above and beyond her call as a manager. She has always been super helpful and honest in advising me on proper lens for my face and prescription. Every time I have had any issue, she has always stepped up and resolved my problems. She handles her position with grace and patience. She always has a friendly smile and greets everyone immediately. I love their selection of frames and how quickly they can get me in with my appointments. Lynn is amazing and she is the reason I continue to use this Optical Center. She truly is an asset to this practice. I am grateful for her and Dr. Lee. read more

In September I had my eyes checks but I didn't feel confident in the prescription. Dr Lee was nice but I felt rushed.They told me my glasses would treat in 2 weeks max. I called after 2 weeks the staff was rude and said they did they were still being made. 8d call every few days never getting a clear answer until final someone admitted one of the lens didn't fit correctly in the frame so they sent it back and were waiting for them to fix and send it back. After 7 weeks they finally told me it was ready. I git there tried my glasses on and wouldn't you know it my vision was barely better if not worse with them on. I was so mad and needed glasses so bad I took them. First thing I noticed the lens didn't fit in the frame and ever since then has been wobbly. If it weren't for covid and my desperate need for glasses I would have returned them and very disappointed I didn't. The guy behind the desk knew it too but walked away when I was telling him about amd said well you can always come back and walked to the back. I finally saw a doctor in fountain valley this week and it's incredible the difference in professionalism and accuracy. I'm still really upset how bad this business failed a loyal customer. My wife and I had gone there a couple times before this but never again. read more

Dr. Lee is great. I have been a regular client for years and I won't go anywhere else. He is very patient, makes sure you get it right and makes the whole appointment pleasant. I highly recommend and will continue to return. Also, I want to mention that the staff in the eyeglass store are really nice and extremely helpful. Always been a positive experience coming here! read more

Dr. Lee has been my optometrist for years now and I've always received very professional service. Now I've been told my 7 year old son can't see in class so I called them and they said yes he can check my son's vision no problem! He was great with my son and my son listened to everything he instructed him to do, the exam went very smooth im impressed! read more

Update: I picked up my glasses and Lynn (Mgr) fitted them on.Her personality is second to none and I laughed with her for 10 minutes talking about everything but my glasses. The glasses fit perfectly and I will have to say this is the best experience at the optician in 35 years. Dr Lee and Lynn make this department a positive fun experience. Again thanks and thank you Target. read more

Very slow service on the weekend. Just came in to pick up my updated lenses, sales people kept chatting and chatting and pretended the waiting customers were not there. Didn't even acknowledge the waiting customers, no efforts to hurry because of the waiting customers. Rude. On the other hand Dr. Lee was very professional and nice throughout the exam. read more

The staff here is nice. They have a decent selection of frames. The problem is with the lab they use for the eyeglass lenses. I wear progressive lenses and they etch a watermark of the correction number on each lens. My eyes are sensitive and can notice this watermark which looks like a smudge when I wear the glasses. Turns out they can't/won't make their progressive lenses without that number watermark. This makes no sense since other optical retailers I have used in the past don't do this. They do not disclose this practice to customers either. In summary, 3 trips to the store later, I had to return my glasses and purchase from a different place because of this issue. read more

Dr. Lee is a wonderful optometrist! The visits are always very friendly, and he's always happy to share more information about the tests and the results in clear detail which I thoroughly appreciate. read more

Dr. Lee and staff are exceptionally friendly, kind, patient, and helpful. I love going here!

I only went to Dr. Lee once and I was satisfied with my appointment. Honestly, all eye doctors are usually fine unless you have a problem that they need to help you resolve. Well, I had a problem and he did not lift a finger to help me. I went back East on an 8th grade school trip and lost my prescription glasses. I only need my glasses for night driving but I brought them on my trip just in case. Unfortunately, I lost them on my trip and my eye prescription was just 7 days expired when I called. My glasses work fine and I was just asking for a week extension on my prescription just long enough to order a new pair of glasses. Dr. Lee's office called me back to say no. They are extremely busy at the office and I would need to make an appointment. I find this absolutely unhelpful and unreasonable. I am in a bind and I feel no compassion from him or his staff. He just wants me to spent time and money on an additional appointment that I really do not need. As a result, I am writing this review to warn others and to let them know that I will be taking my business elsewhere. Dr. Lee has not only lost me but also my whole family. read more

What a great experience! I worked with Lynn, who is very knowledgeable and her customer services are outstanding. I was very impress with Lynn's willingness to give me the best deal with great low pricing. I am please with the overall experience and I can say, I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you Lynn Nguyen, you were amazing! read more

After a horrible experience at another clinic, I found this place by looking on my insurance website and also Yelp. It's not that close to me but I come down this way regularly so I figured it was worth a shot. There is a lovely sweet lady who answers the phone. She has such a nice voice and is always so helpful. I keep forgetting her name. There is no one else in the office so Dr. Lee does all the testing himself. His initial exam was very thorough and he actually really listens to his patients. The day after I saw him, I called back to request trial contact lens for a brand I found online and I was told he had done more research too and had ordered those already for me. The follow up contact lens fitting was a good 30 min and he ordered me a total of 4 different types of lens with slightly different prescriptions for EACH. Not only does he check that the lens fit, he also rechecked my prescription with the contacts in. I've worn contact lens for years and I've moved around a lot, so I've had tons of exams. It's rare to find a doctor who will spend that much time on follow up appointments because they only get paid for the initial exam. You're lucky they will even schedule you a follow up visit! There was also no pressure to buy contacts or glasses either, which is a nice change. I'll definitely be back again next year for my annual exam. read more

Went here for my eye exam and I needed new glasses. The doctor was very friendly and nice and explained everything. I defiantly plan on coming back next year for my annual eye exam. Two thumbs up! read more

Friendly helpful service in ordering my new glasses, lack of follow-up! Was told it would be 7-10 days, 3 weeks later still hadn't heard anything so I called. Was told someone would follow-up with me the next day, as it was a Sunday. 4:30pm next day no call. I called back... stillwaiting. So the staff are all super nice, however, nice people does not = great service! read more

I can't believe the bad reviews either. I went in for an eye exam....which no one seems to be commenting on...which was great. The fill in doctor was great (other doctor out for some reason). Very understanding since I was late (got lost). Then I went and tried on glasses. Yes they gave a hard sell on contacts -thanks but I can find them cheaper elsewhere - but they had a great selection of frames. I haven't gotten any yet but will most likely go back there. Friendly staff. I cannot comment on lens coating quality. read more

Everyone is so nice and helpful. Charles helped us and he was WONDERFUL! We will seriously be back because of him. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent customer service. read more

Lynn is the best! I didn't think I had vision insurance but she said "let's just check" and found coverage that allowed me to upgrade my frame to Coach and remain under budget. She gave me her full attention, was focused on my needs and was fun to work with. Definite 5 Star customer care. read more

Dr. Lee is both qualified and caring. I have been a patient for about 3 years now. I had a concern about my vision during my last appointment so he did some extra testing so I could feel at ease. I have not purchased contacts or glasses here but they let you leave with your RX in hand so you can shop around, which had been a problem at the doctor I was seeing before on nearby Mareblu. read more

Unreal.. this ONLY guy working here it's so rude and unprofessional... not a multitask kind of employee... Omar needs training in how to treat customers and I waited 45 min just so he can give me the glasses I was picking up ... he made phone calls in between and told another customer that he was not going to help them because he was too busy ... he could have done a better job giving those picking up glasses in between phone calls ... too bad because I love Target read more

The staff was friendly in store. I ordered 2 pairs of glasses and was told they would be ready in 7-10 days. It's been two weeks now. Nothing. No courtesy call either. I've called them three times now, each time I spoke to an associate who said they would call the lab to find out how far along my glasses are and call me back in the next 10 minutes. Neither of them have called back. I am very frustrated. Next time I will go to Costco. Better value, larger selection, and I receive glasses on time. I understand that we all forget things sometimes but this is extremely unprofessional and each associate specifically promised to call me back. I've been very patient but now it's getting out of hand read more

Sarah and Ethan - thank you so for your help and I'm sorry about my dog pooping in target. You've been very helpful and responsive.

So back in August my boyfriend ordered glasses from Target Optical. We added the option of having blue light filter. After receiving the glasses, I had a kit to test it if it was actually blue light filter. I bought my glasses from my Optometry office, which passed the test. When we tested his glasses they weren't blue light filtered. We went back to Target Optical and spoke to the sales person and the manager. They sent the glasses back and about a week or two later called us in to pick up the new glasses. Again we tested the glasses and again it failed the test. They sent it back four times and each time we tested it it was not blue light filter. The forth time that we came back we even tested another persons glasses that had ordered the blue light filter and their glasses weren't blue light filter as well. As a result, they had to refund us our money and we had to take our business elsewhere. This review is not a reflection of the customer service, but of the product itself. I want to make sure that anyone who has purchased glasses from Target Optical and has paid for this additional feature don't rip you off!!! I suggest you buy a kit and test your glasses. Hopefully, Target has addressed this with the company they use for their optics department. read more

Recently was having headaches related to eye strain and decided to come here for a check up after seeing all the great reviews. Dr. Lee and staff did not disappoint. Dr. Lee was very personable, professional, and knowledgeable. After a thorough examination the lovely staff in the optical shop helped me with insurance and eyewear. So excited to have found a wonderful local optical shop that i will be going to for my optical needs. read more

We drive all the way from Cerritos just because of Charles and his team! My husband is a glasses junkie and loves new and different frames,which he buys from all over the place. Charles takes care of every detail from start to finish ! Target Optical has nice frames too and we always manage to come out with a few new pairs. Charles is more than our go to guy! He is our ONLY go to optical guy and FRIeND!!!! read more

Dr. Lee is the best! He's been my optometrist for several years now. I love how my prescriptions turn out! He takes the time to get it right and is super friendly and pleasant to see. He also removed something that had been in my eye for two weeks and refused to come out on its own with ease due to his abilities and methodology. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Kudos to Dr. Lee! AAAAA+++++!!!!! read more

We saw Dr. Lee first who was great!! My daughter has a bit of a confusing prescription and he's been the only one to explain it so I can understand! The Optical team who helped us were patient and we even ended up getting a second pair for my other daughter while we were there! Overall an excellent experience. We actually have Kaiser insurance but haven't been able to get into an appointment that worked for us. I hate to see at it but I think we will be back to see Dr. Lee instead of using our insurance. read more

I had a great experience shopping at Target Optical today. The gentlemen who run the shop are refreshingly kind and candid about their passion for their workplace. I sincerely hope that more Target Optical employees could be more like them. They saved me money on my purchase and I will definitely be returning to this shop in the future. It's easily the best part of this Target. read more

I expected more from this place than what I actually received. With their two email confirmations, and one phone call (24 hours before my appointment), I believed that I would be seen on time as they provided such great follow ups! Instead, I have been here for over 50 minutes over my scheduled appointment and all I receive is an apology for the doctor running behind. Instead of apologizing, the doctor or the representative from Target optical could have called me in advance to let me know they are running behind so I am not sitting here for over an hour of my time. - You called and emailed me to make sure I come in on time; you could have emailed/called me to let me know that you're running behind. read more

Just had an exam with Dr. Lee this morning. He is great! No wait at all! He does all of the testing himself. He is patient, caring and answers all of your questions. I usually hate getting my eyes checked because it takes so long. Usually, you take one test, sit down, wait 40 minutes, take another test, sit and wait another 30-45 minutes - not here! Everything is done back to back - no waiting around! I highly recommend Dr. Lee! There's also no pressure at all to purchase glasses here if you'd prefer to buy them elsewhere. read more

We love this target store..we can get everything we need in here love this place . We will come back read more
