Great experience. Booked for an eye exam and the dates are not too far out. They send you a check in the day before to make sure the day of goes smoothly. Got there and there was practically no wait time. The staff was very helpful in getting my first exam and guiding me through the process. They were even helpful in selecting my first pair of glasses given there were so many choices. Everything was quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this place it was awesome -- plus I can see now :) read more

Very helpful . It's kind of hidden in the back by the laundry soap . So walk toward back of the store .

Sabrina repaired a broken pair of glasses that I thought could not be repaired. She gave me a case for the glasses and didn't charge for the repair. She was great! I definitely will return for future optical needs. read more

It's that time of the year you know the feeling (it's no fun) to get your annual doctor visits in. Physicals, teeth cleaning ect. Once October arrives the days and weeks seem to fly by. I had one appointment that I was looking forward to, my biannual eye examination. My vision needed a tune up and my old glasses were on life support they had a rough 24 months. Target Optical was my choice I made my appointment with no problem 3 weeks ago. Optical department is at the opposite end of the store entrance as you enter. I was greeted by 2 technicians as I made way in and found a seat. Store is bright and clean with a nice selection of of premium frames and sunglasses. I had a short wait before Alfonso asked if he could help me. I told him of my appointment he pulled up my info on his computer I had preregistered which saves time. Signed a couple of forms and we were ready, I explained my concerns with my vision as we moved over to a series of examination machines. Stefanie the other friendly technician came over to assist, the store had slowed down to my advantage. Both technicians explained each I test I was given. We then moved into another room to get down to the fine tuning I completed a series of vision tests and had my eyes photographed by Stef. & Al they were a good team and were comfortable using the exam equipment and computers. They explained all the tests and information that we were gathering would be reviewed by the optometrist. I was feeling special Optometrist would be joining us on the 50" monitor mounted on wall in front of me. WOW things have changed Dr appeared on the monitor she introduced herself and was very pleasant and professional I think she said she was down in Torrance. Dr was still being assisted by Alfonso & Stefanie We went through all the exams and tests taken earlier by Al & Stefanie We went through many slides on which on which looked best they were no hurry if I need to see it again. I was very satisfied with this type of examination every test was explained and all my questions were answered. My time with the doctor was 20 to 25 minutes she was excellent. We finished up and went back into main area. I still had Alfonso & Stefanie to myself, they helped me select the perfect frames and explained the cost with my VSP insurance discounts I would recommend Target Optical and especially Alfonso & Stefanie they were great!! see you in 2 years read more

I needed to buy glasses and I heard that a target had competitive pricing so we went this afternoon. I was waited on by a nice guy named Alfonso who greeted me immediately and explained the covid procedure for trying on glasses. They had a really good selection and they also had a sale going on so I did end up buying two pairs. He called my insurance company and got the company to let me buy my glasses a week earlier than I was approved for. They also had a good warranty program and I got two pair for 399.00. I highly recommend Target and Alfonso for great customer service and a great selection of frames. read more

Target adjusted my glasses, free of charge! Sabrina was so nice, friendly, and helpful! I highly recommend Target Optical. I'll be back!

This place is amazing! A big shout out to David especially! You know you found a great spot when your kids start to get extremely impatient and the staff decides to place ring toss with them!!!! David and his crew know their stuff and are amazing with the kids and style choices! I won't go anywhere else! My wife and kids love it there as do I! Pricing is very competitive and it just feels good being there! Big thanks again to David and the crew! And Dr. Tong, thanks so much for being so thorough with the exam process! read more

Target Optical is the best! With 3 kids, it feels like I live at Target anyway - so why not check one more thing off the list while I'm there? I tried them out for the convenience factor, but keep going back for the excellent customer service and great selection. David and Stephanie are awesome! They know their stuff and are so sweet. My girls love stopping in just to say hi and get their glasses cleaned. read more

My kids went in for their exams today and they were seen by Dr. Jolly. She was so good with all three kids, very patient and she made them all very comfortable. My family and I have always gone to Target Optical and David in optical has always taken very good care of us. He's not only super attentive, knowledgeable and personable, he also has an amazing team! He styled my kids very quickly and we were all so pleased with the variety of brands and frames to choose from. He helped us maximize our benefit and we walked out spending less than we budgeted for. I'm over all very pleased and will be back soon for myself! read more

I usually go to a different optometrist so this was my first time being here. First impression was that I was attended the moment I walked in. I had already made an appointment ahead of time which made things go faster. I was seeing by the optometrist within a few minutes. During the whole time he asked questions to make me feel comfortable during the whole eye exam. I highly recommend this Optometric Eye Care Quick tip: make appointments ahead of time it makes things go smoother and quicker. read more

Oh target, how I love everything about you! I decided to give their optical department a try, mainly because they offer appointments on Saturdays (which is the husband's day off and we both wanted to get an eye exam). They also offer online booking for appointments which is super convenient and quick. I called the corporate Target phone line to try and find out if they accepted our insurance but unfortunately they weren't too knowledgeable in that department. They asked me to call the optical department in Bakersfield directly and try and find out. The only problem was they were closed so I had to wait a few hours for them to open. I do wish corporate had that information since it would have been helpful. I was able to get a hold of the optical department quick though, once they were open. They did accept our insurance but couldn't let me know what the copay would be until we came in for our eye exam. It turned out to be $10, not bad at all. We showed up for our Saturday appointment and they were a bit busy but they seemed to be moving along quickly. The doctor gave us our eye exams and our prescriptions right away. They have plenty of frames to choose from, designer brands mostly. Both for men and women. The frames are pretty pricey though and they really tried to push sales on us. I overheard two of the workers talking about how they get bonuses for each sale, which makes sense, but definitely adds pressure to them wanting to sell. We didn't find any frames so we decided to just take our prescription. Like many other optical places it can be taken any where else for fulfilment since it is good for a year. Overall, the experience was great and convenient. read more

disorganized and inconsiderate doctor. I booked an appointment in August, it was booked a month out because that was the availability they had. About a week before the appointment they called me to reschedule for October, again another month out. annoying but things happen so I understand. Then the day before the rescheduled appointment I get a call again that the doctor is unavailable again. At this point you wasted two months of my time. How unprofessional that this doctor will take appointments and cancel whenever they feel like it. Won't be going back here at all read more

Once again, I'm appreciative of Dr. Tong and the staff at Target Optical. I'm always anxious about the puffs of air that are directed into your eyes, but Fidel, an optical employee, was patient and got it done. I also got my eyes dilated and Dr. Tong was careful in putting the eye drops in my eyes. My eye sight had changed, so I picked out new glasses. The employees in Target Optical were also helpful in helping me order my new glasses. I'm looking forward to getting my new glasses in one to two weeks. read more

Been a few times for glasses the last few years. Always treated well. Today was a different doctor. She was just as helpful and kind. Even helped me into my first set of contact lenses!! NO MORE GLASSES:) the young lady who helped show me how to put them in and out was just as helpful. Highly recommend this optometrist if you're in the Bakersfield area. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Update (June 12, 2017): Went back to get a check-up on my contacts, as well as, try and fit my new pair of glasses. Doctor Wang was kind enough to let me try another pair of contact lenses because my eyes were still getting dry, but now testing the new ones out. Thanks Doc! And, David was very kind to help finish up with my glasses, especially with the nose pads haha. Will check up on them again. (New pics being added ) read more

Found out I was going to be Bakersfield for a business trip, and realized I also haven't used my insurance yet this year. Gave them a call Friday afternoon and they were able to squeeze me and the gf in Monday morning. Saw Dr. Wang Monday morning, typical checkup, but with updated and new machines. Never been to a place where the doctor can change the lenses from a computer. Pretty cool. So after the exam we started talking about contact lenses. I have never been a fan of contacts, and use them sparingly (only with sports). They dry out my eyes and after 6ish hours the astigmatism lens starts getting scratchy and I end up blinking alot in the 1 eye. My past 2 doctors both said that was normal, to use eye drops, or to get use to it. Dr. Wang chuckled and asked me to try a new brand. He also gave me a different prescription to have astigmatism in both eyes, as my eyes needed it. My old prescription only had it in one eye and the doctor said this would reduce the scratchy feeling to just 1 eye, even though my glasses had astigmatism in both. It was also interesting that my prescription that hasn't changed in 5 years changed a bit, in both eyes. Was this coincidence or were my old doctors being lazy, or were their machines inaccurate due to it being older? Anyways, I popped in the new lens, and look a few times . I thought I had dropped it. These new lens were so comfortable I couldn't even feel them in my eyes. Way to go Dr. Wang! It's been a week and I've been wearing these contacts 16 hours a day, everyday. After long days of staring at the screen, my eyes aren't bloodshot like they are with the other contacts, my eyes don't feel dry and they don't have any scratchy feelings. Dr. Wang didn't quit here, he also asked me about my travel life, and recommended I look at some daily contacts to supplement with my monthly for the days i'm on the road to prevent having to carry bottles of solution through TSA. After my exam I looked at a few frames, the customer service was great. The guys in the store looked my old glasses, changed out the nose pieces, wiped it down and my glasses felt/looked new. I ended up using my insurance all on contacts and was able to continue with the same pair of glasses. I was in and out with new contacts in 30 mins. My new contacts was shipped home and i got them 2 days after the exam. Dr. Wang is through with the exam and takes the time to get to know his customers. Don't let his look fool you, he may look young but knows his stuff. I'm considering going back next year even though I live over 100 miles away! read more

I had the best experience from start to finish. I called to find out if they took my insurance & was offered an appointment the same day! Dr. Jolly was so sweet & thorough with my eye exam. Fidel helped me & he was outstanding with everything from the new patient paperwork to telling me about what my plan covered & helping me find glasses & sunglasses They have a nice variety of brands & styles, much more than LensCrafters imo. I was told it would be 7-10 days to pick up my order, but they were ready only two days later. I hope the service will stay this good after word gets out how awesome they are!! Also great with my 2 year old & 5 month old read more

I think this location is under new management which I think the staff is more knowledgeable than the manager. The staff was super helpful and was able to help me with the questions and concerns I had. the new "manager" was completely lost and did not know how to help me or resolve my problem. read more

David was very friendly and knowledgeable. I went in with a budget and walked out spending less.

Over all the exam wasn't bad but I feel like I didn't get the information or a good explanation of contacts. I left with monthly's and I've already tore more than a few I use great solution I properly take them out every night and cleaned them. But I feel like these contacts are not for all day wear. I contacted target optical and I never received a call back it's been almost over 2 months I feel like once you purchase and leave they don't care about you. They took my money for something that isn't working out for me and I will continue to call and see what they can do and see if the doctor is ever in the office which every time I call they continue to tell me he is not. read more

This locational has been nothing but a smooth, easy experience. The 2 times I stopped by,(unfortunately, I can't recall the names of the associate) my problem was easily addressed. Just today, I was attended by Fidel. Great customer service, did everything he could to make sure I was content with my replacement glasses. They went above and beyond. Side note: Rosedale location said they wouldn't be able to help me because I originally got my glasses in Turlock. read more

My daughters love the doctor here and he's so good with the kids during the exam. The staff is wonderful as well, making the whole process of visit, shopping for glasses and all the paperwork very easy. read more

Stephanie is Amazing!! Love getting my glasses at Target optical have been for years and years. Recently having Stephanie help me pick out my last pair, (over several days) she was so helpful and she is knowledgable and really great at adjustments and technical stuff too. TY so much Stephanie sorry its taken me so long to finally post this review- but she deserves many many more great reviews!!! Yay Target! read more

This place was awesome! I was helped by 5 different team members over my 2 visits and all of them were friendly, helpful and welcoming. I felt so comfortable. On my first visit the optical associate helped me pick out frames-I am very picky-and he was so patient with me. He was honest about what looked good or bad and I know it wasn't a matter of sales because he actually helped me choose a pair that was less expensive than the ones I was originally liking out. I was very pleasantly surprised with my service overall. read more

Second time here. Very clean professional and friendly. My order is done. Wearing my samples now. Awaiting my order delivery. Got my delivery Great service read more

We had the most pleasant experience at Target Optical. Dr. Tong was professional and friendly. The optical associates David and Fidel were very friendly and helped us maximize our benefits. My son and I both ordered contacts and a pair of glasses and we spent less than $100 out of pocket. During the holiday season, this is especially appreciated! They were both very patient and helped us select frames. read more

The whole staff (Dr. Wang & associates) was great; nice and friendly & were all happy to answer all of my questions and were very knowledgeable on contacts prescriptions & applications. I was having a little trouble on getting the correct prescription for my left eye in particular, & Dr. Wang tried every solution possible until it was perfect. Most optometrists I've had would get frustrated with my pickiness & settle for something else, as it would seem. He continuously asked if I had any questions through the whole process so I wouldn't feel confused. He didn't rush me and he made the whole process a breeze. I will definitely be returning to this location for sure next time. read more

First time to go to Target for an eye exam. Great experience. I would have them 5 stars but I had to wait an extra 30 minutes as they were running behind.

Dr. Wang was amazingly patient with my 3 year old twins during their exam. I was sure they wouldn't get through one but he did it. Staff was also very patient with two very active boys while we were picking their glasses out. Very helpful. Very nice. I know how terrible (hyper) my boys can be lol so very grateful for their patience and help. Dr. Wang also answered all my questions concerning my kids. read more

Customer service was top notch. We went in to buy a new pair of glasses for my son, turned out his RX was expired but they were able to get us in right then for an exam. Dr. Wang even convinced my husband to have an eye exam (his first ever!) and got him in right away too. Not surprising he needed glasses but ended up trying out contacts. Delia's patience in teaching him how to use them was stellar! We left very impressed by their professionalism, patience and customer service! read more

Was seen by Dr. Wang for eye exam, contact lens fitting, and prescription for glasses. Friendly and efficient service-was in and out within 30 minutes & seen on time. Turns out my original contact lens Rx was too high which may have been the reason as to why I was having headaches. Would recommend this Target location and Dr. Wang. read more
