Target Optical

Jacquey! Jacquey!Jacquey! Way to go girl! She gave the best service ever! I had thousand questions regarding my lenses/​trail lenses/​frames. She gave her best. Just made me and my husband so comfortable in making the best choice. God Bless Her. Also, my Doctor was Dr. Shulman. He was simply great. He is so intelligent and answered all my questions with full patiences. Honestly, best place for the eye checkup.

Great staff and service — Dr. Tanya Le was very helpful and incredibly nice, I highly recommend!

Let me say first of all, that the staff that completed the checkout and helped me pick frames were GREAT people. They did a very nice job.
Dr. Sheade is awful. Not personable, he rushed through the whole exam and appointment, and didn’t explain ANYTHING. Never asked about my symptoms. Interrupted me when I tried to tell him I saw halos around lights and never touched on the subject again.
I am shocked reading some of the other reviews here… they must be fabricated because he was NOTHING like anything I’ve read here.
I work in medicine and his bedside manner is probably the worst I have seen.
I think my prescription is incorrect too.

My initial review would have stayed at least a 3 star. I can’t say enough how much i have a tiny face and don’t want glasses to fall off, slide down my nose or have the back hang below my ear lobe. I needed petite frames but the girls didn’t have enough experience with measurement to tell me that. Instead of helping me i ended up feeling like there was something wrong with me and my face. They also have very few frames to choose from. The doctor should definitely know that fertility medications can most definitely effect vision or give blurred vision. He told me that was not true. I went to Vision Works and had the best expect experience. I didn’t even have to explain anything. He visually took measurements and showed me all the frames that would work with my face. I hate to give a bad review to the girls as they were very nice. But have no experience. And the doctor kept repeating the same questions to me. Did not listen and of course i had to get my prescription adjusted. I will not be back.

I have to admit I was a bit uncomfortable going for an eye exam at a Target, but after reading the reviews of Dr. Sheade on Unilocal decided to give it a shot.
I was more then pleased with the experience. The two girls working in the optical office were greeted me with smiles, were polite, helpful, and very friendly.
Dr. Sheade is a «great» guy… He was very maticulous with the exam process. He was more the happy to answer my questions and I had quite a few. After diagnosing my condition he explained it me very well, cause and how to treat it. presently and in the future. He has a very pleasant bedside manner and extremely professional. I felt very comfortable with him and he is straight forward type of guy.
At the end of my visit the girls working the front area did not pressure me at all to buy frames from them. They left the choice up to me and told me I was always welcome back if i changed my mind. I think that is a great approach, I am not a fan of aggressive, pushy sales people. None of that happens here at the Target Optical.
As for Dr. Sheade, I would recommend him any one of my friends… Like a I said not only a good guy but a great doctor.

Conjunctivitis is not a great birthday gift, but that didn’t matter.
Dr Le did a great job wth my initial exam. My old brand of contacts had been drying out like crazy. She switched me to Air Optix, and we were good to go… for a few months. They lasted 4 weeks, the next batch 3 weeks, the next batch 1 week.
The next available appointment was on my birthday. Yay. Dr Schaede was fast and efficient, and very clear in explaining why my eyes had such a reaction to contacts. He made sure I got the most cost-​effective RX, and when my pharmacy didn’t have the drops he recommended, he directed me to a place that does.
Since I need to switch to daily lenses once my eyes heal, I decided to replace my 3-​year-​old frames with some new glasses to wear to work and just reserve contacts for weekends and Date Nights. Jacquey was very helpful with the new frames, helped me find the best discounts, and when she found out it was my birthday, nabbed an extra birthday coupon for me.
The staff here is great, I have no complaints about the products, and I’ll definitely be back!

The best experience I’ve ever had at an optician. The people their are super friendly and they carry a nice selection of frames.

Target Optical exceeded all my expectations. I saw Dr. Sheade who was punctual, professional and knowledgable. Moreover, he had an excellent bedside manner while informing me of a particular issue that he found in my eyes. I can’t recommend Dr. Sheade enough.
Further, the administrative and sales staff were great. They explained my insurance benefits well and even helped me pick out some great glasses! Overall, I had a really great experience, and this is coming from someone whose mom worked at LensCrafters for years.

I had a good experience here. Staff was pleasant and well informed about my insurance coverage, presented me with rebates available from manufacturers of contacts they sell. The doctor was experienced, spent time explaining stuff, gave a 7 day guarantee to make sure the prescription was working well for me.

One doesn’t expect too much from a chain store optical place except maybe to save a bit of money, but I recently was examined by Dr. Sheade, and he said one of my eyes had changed and gotten .5 worse on my contacts prescription. I thought that was odd since my eyes have been stable on the current Rx for maybe 8 years, and I wasn’t noticing any problems seeing from that eye, but he’s the doc, he’s got the expensive measuring machines, so I accepted his word on it. So though you can’t expect much from a chain optical store, you might expect that the optician/​optometrist can do a basic Rx for contacts. After 3 weeks of feeling like one of my contacts was always dry or blurry for some reason, I ordered the old Rx for that eye elsewhere, and voila, I could see fine again. So I guess it’s all what matters to you. If seeing in focus is important, maybe you’d rather go somewhere else.
Reading some of the other reviews before writing mine, I was astonished. Half of them must have been written by shills for Target. This doctor was businesslike, not friendly, service was fine, not more than you’d expect. I got about zero help from the other staff trying to choose new frames for glasses («there’s the frames» was about it), but again, what do you expect?). The rave reviewers here must have gone on a better day than I did!

I’ve never been to a Target store for an eye exam and/​or to get frames, but this Target Store amazed me with their selection, professionalism, suggestions, optomotrist and ability to work with my insurance to get the most out of my benefits.
The staff was very polite, dressed nicely and were very attentive.
Dr. Avery Shulman was the ‘grandfather-​like-​figure’ Optomotrist who was very thorough and was no-​nonsense when giving me the eye exam. He also told me about a new brand of contact lens, the care and upkeep of these news lenses and asked me if I had any questions.
The entire process took about an hour. On time, moved along and I was very pleased. Can’t wait to pick up my new contacts and stylish glasses!

I recommend Dr. Le as a Optometrist. She is personable, and Dr. Le examined my eyes more completely and gave me more information about the things I should specifically watch out for in the future for my age etc. Dr. Le really listened to me and let me know all my options. She also gave me a great recommendation for a newer contact lens type that I had not been introduced to before. You can see my full review blog here:

I haven’t had an eye appt for several years– but I thought it was time to go and get some new glasses since my glasses are broken. The doctor and staff were so friendly at Target Optical– I was in and out in probably thirty minutes, and the staff were very thorough and explained everything to me that I needed to know. I really appreciated everything they did for me!!!

Target Optical Department consists of hard working, professional individuals who work really well together. Ismael, the department manager is focused and has a calm, peaceful demeanor (positive, too) who works (unfettered) with all types of customers. Dr. Sheade has a doctor’s gentle disposition and has a professional, kind chairside manner. Dr. Le has a savvy business attitude and is serious about «your» eye care! The cherry on the top of the bunch is Jacquey, who won’t let you leave unsatisfied and she leaves her caring impression on everyone she helps (hands down)! I definitely recommend Broadway and Wilson’s Target Optical for your present and future eye care.

Dr. Le is great. She took time to explain to me what was going on with my eyes and my contacts (crazy allergies!) and gave me several options for changing my contact use, taking into consideration my insurance and budget. She and the staff are friendly, professional, and quick. I’ve been seeing her for 3 years now and have no complaints.

Jacquey went above and beyond to make sure my vision insurance covered new frames and lenses. This included multiple calls to the insurance company and meticulously checking Target’s system time and time again. She even remembered someone else having similar issues. She contacted them and retroactively applied a discount — turns out it was my coworker!
The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Jacquey took the time to ensure I had a great experience. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Sheade is amazing. I’ve been going to him for several years now. He’s friendly, smart, and thorough. He answered all of my questions and explained everything as he completed the exam. I have some minor thing at the back of my eye, and he said that it wasn’t dangerous at all, explained it to me in detail, and told me he would keep monitoring it for years to come. He put all of my fears at ease and made me feel extremely taken care of. He’s a wonderful professional! The optical staff were great, too. It’s close to work, which is a huge bonus for me. I’ll definitely keep going to Target Optical.

Haven’t had an eye exam in years. Went to Dr. Sheade. Quick and concise. He asked me multiple times if I had any questions, explained the process of the instruments he was using as well as some technical stuff about the eye. Finally, he thoroughly addressed some eye concerns I had.
Scheduling is also great as they are open from 10 – 8.
Would highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Rosin Eyecare for years and, let’s be clear: I still love them.
Buuuuutttttt… I was getting a bit tired of spending more money to go there than another place and their location is ultra-​inconvenient for people who drive since there’s ZERO street parking and tons of un-​validated, $ 30 parking at the NMH lot kiddie corner from the eye place. SIGH.
So, enter Target Optical. I moved to Uptown and really began to love the Target in the neighborhood. I noticed pretty early that they had an Optical center that seemed pretty busy on the regular. I decided to give it a try since I frequent this Target often and I can walk to it in like three minutes.
Super. Satisfied. I called, the person who answered was incredibly friendly, appointment was made in less than five minutes and was promptly seen when I arrived for my appointment.
Great and friendly service, quick but thorough appointment and and more quickness when I ended the appointment and checked out. Since this is Target, the price for daily contacts is WAY lower than most eye care places and 1800-​Contacts. I’ve had a few follow-​up phone calls since to remind me to make next year’s appointment and to purchase new contacts since I only initially bought a three-​month supply.
I’ve been highly satisfied with the attention, care and service I received here and I will definitely go back next year for my annual eye check.

For the first time in my life, I have vision insurance (Humana). So I decided to «splurge» and get a pair of prescription sunglasses. (I bike so much that it would be wonderful not to have the sun in my eyes! I envy those who can just pop any old pair of sunglasses on.) I’ve also had my current glasses for about 1.5−2 years, and I could tell they weren’t fully correcting for my astigmatism so I wanted to get a new prescription that did. (I had a bit of blurriness that wasn’t corrected by squinting.)
I’m a few blocks away from this location, and I saw it had good reviews, so I went to the website and signed up for an eye exam for Sunday. The signup on the site was smooth, and a few hours later I got a call confirming it.
I came in the next day, and was greeted by Nick, then had an exam with Dr. Ross. Both were very pleasant to work with, and Dr. Ross was efficient and knowledgeable about sunglasses options, and about what circumstances probably contributed to my current prescription not being 100% right (in short – I went from ages 18 – 28 with one pair of glasses and the same prescription, so he felt the previous doctor didn’t want to strain my eyes by correcting all the way with that big of a prescription jump. Now that I’ve had a few years at my current strength, we could correct it the rest of the way).
Afterwards, I picked up a few frames to try, and Jacqueline helped me out. I told her this was the first time I had insurance for this type of thing, and she turned the screen towards me and we went over options to see what my insurance would cover and what it wouldn’t. She was also helpful with identifying what frames of the ones I’d chosen looked best on me – a plus because my eyes are so bad that when my glasses are off (or I have model frames on with no prescription) I can barely see myself in a mirror without pushing my nose to the glass. Also, the ones she thought looked best were actually the cheapest by over $ 100, so clearly she wasn’t trying to pressure me into a big $$$ sale! Which is awesome because I hate pushy salespeople.
So all and all, it went well. I’ll update when I get my glasses in – they said about 2 weeks.
One tip — if you want to buy glasses on the web afterwards, ask them for your prescription and pupil distance (PD). I didn’t get it by default, but when I asked it was all written out for me on a half-​page form.
