I am in love with Target's optical shop in Metairie!
I already had a prescription for glasses, so I didn't get my eyes checked here, so I can't vouch for the doctor. However, I got two pairs of prescription sunglasses made here! After visiting half a dozen different shops in town that would take my insurance, I found two frames I really loved at their optical shop. That's saying a lot because I have a stereotypical flat Asian face and it's round too, so it's hard to find sunglasses frames that look halfway decent!! Hahaha Not to mention, the prices here were much better than at other shops in the area. After the first pair, the second pair is almost at a 50% discount too!
Hailey (sp?) and Steve were both so helpful when I consulted them about the frames and lenses. My eyesight is pretty poor, so I needed HI-index lenses.
When asking about the difference in lenses (polycarbonate, HI-index, thickness, durability, weight, tinting options, etc.), they were both so patient and knowledgeable. It made reaching a decision that felt right for me really easy and comfortable. They were both AWESOME!! It felt so professional, you wouldn't think you were still inside Target!
After putting in my order, it did take a little while to arrive (few weeks). However, it was worth the wait because I LOVE my sunglasses! And, when it came time to adjust them, they did a wonderful job! Again, this is quite a feat because I basically have no nose and my face is so flat!
Then, a while after taking my new sunglasses home, I noticed a barely-there hairline crack in one of the lenses. Getting the lens replaced was easy-breezy! I was worried it would be a hassle, but nope! One phone call and it was done! I just had to go back to pick it up when it as ready.
TL;DR: Perfect customer service by Hailey (sp?) and Steve! I'll definitely recommend Target's optical shop to anyone that asks! read more
