Dr. Keane and her team are wonderful! I am a returning patient from last year and the process is smooth and simple. Made an appointment online and come in at the stated time, and in a year they send a reminder for your yearly check up. Everyone is super friendly and professional! read more

I love that they can text you a link to fill out the form online upon check-in. Getting an appointment was super easy online and the person managing appointments was helpful. I also liked that I didn't have a wait too long for my appointment. Dr. Keane was very informative as I have an interest in LASIK surgery and provided a referral to a specific surgeon who her husband has gotten his LASIK surgery done through. I'll be going back to get my eyes dilated and checked for any health concerns for the surgeon. Highly recommend! read more

If you're planning to shop at target, before you spend a quarter of your paycheck or grabbing a coffee/tea at Starbucks - stop on by and get your vision checked, buy some new glasses or a set of contacts. The staff here is professional, fun and all the staff are extremely caring. The service is top tier. There are waves of high volume of crowds from time to time depending on the day, but you can easily walk in to make an appointment or book an appointment online. It was my first time here for contacts (ever) and glasses. Everyone was so nice, helpful and really takes their time to educate their patients/customers on the procedures, tests or the purchasing of glasses/contacts. I had Dr. Tavakoli and she was great. I got in and out at top speed. Thank you for your help! read more

Great service and completely free with insurance. I have EyeMed as the insurance. I had Dr. Melody Tavakoli and she was very professional. The exam was quick but throughly. She explained what will be covered with the insurance and what is the copay for each procedure. Believe me I had been to other places where they just want to rip you off as much as possible. Here you have full control and won't get deceived. The staff was helpful and not too pushy for you to purchase. Even though, I had a bit of feeling that I was expected to buy a frame. I guess it's normal when they try to sell you something. If Target Optical is in your network, I highly recommend this shop. read more

Go elsewhere. Bad experience. And they'll treat you differently if you show any sign that you want them to make a correction with anything. Im just glad they have a decent return policy. read more

I went in and had a great independent eye exam which included an up charge of 40$ for a newer scan that allows you to avoid getting dilated which is a bargain imo. After that you're wisked into the lens/frame department which is an absolute scam. They fit you, have you stare into a iPad, among many other "important" tests to determine your vision and lens needs. After about 20 minutes they come back with a 700$ quote for one set of glasses! After insurance, 418$. I took my prescription and headed right to Costco where I found out Targets frame/lens shop put a hold on my insurance. That took me an extremely frustrating hour to sort and the 418$ lens and frames at Target cost me 79$ out of pocket at Costco, come on man read more

I really liked the people in this shop. Dr.Keane, Donelle, and Steve all were great. And I really like my new Ray Ban Wayfarers, Sun-readers with sharp prescription lenses that transition to clear when I come inside. Aren't they Bad Ass? read more

Target Optical - Optometrists Near Me - San Diego, California

My very first experience with Target optical and I have to say I am extremely happy with the service. I was greeted by Steve who took extremely great care of me. He is funny, very personable and honest. I came back for my appointment and Dr. Keane talked me through the whole fast and easy process. She wiped down the equipments in front of me and made me feel comfortable the entire process. Definitely love and recommend Steve & Dr. Keane! read more

Professional, friendly - overall great experience and courteous service. Doctor Melody T. seems very knowledgeable, as are the support staff and front desk ladies. Keep up the good work. read more

Alan was very professional and knowledgeable. i had called ahead to see if I really wanted to make a purchase at Target Optical . Bec of Alans phone manner he sold me on driving to Target instead of many other much closer choices. I felt that he enjoys helping customers by his willingness and patience. I learned a lot from him that after years of buying glasses never realized. The best color lenses for my needs . The correct size lense . The weight or material of the frame . After trying on many pairs Alan chose the frames I actually purchased for reading and sun . read more

Everyone is nice, but I had to order new lenses within 6 months, as the coatings they put on them eventually looked smeared and are hard to see thru. Very frustrating, since I paid for coverage, but still had to pay $25 to get replacement lenses, no fault of mine, it's the coating they use and I had to wait over a month to get the replacement lenses and after I finally got them.... two months later (current date) the coating on the lenses are smeared again. I only use water w. a soft cloth to clean my lenses, so there's no excuse for this to be happening AGAIN. Never going to Target again. Very frustrating. They charge a lot of money and make you pay for their defects. read more

Target Optical - Store - Optometrists Near Me - San Diego, California

The lady here was very nice. I came in to ask for an eyeglass repair kit to fix a loose arm. She offered a free adjustment and repair. I was nervous at first because they aren't responsible for damaging or breaking your glasses during their repair process. I had nothing to worry about. She repaired the loose arm, then adjusted them after I accidentally stretched them out. She even cleaned them for me...all under 5 minutes. It was a slow day so she had time. I promised to leave a review, so here it is. (I closed my glasses in the car console (accident not on purpose) and they're kinda bent out of shape again, so I'll be back soon ). Check them out! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Kelly Keane and her team of staff are the best! She is very thorough and so is her team. Excellent customer service and great pricing. Easy, fast and convenient. I highly recommend her services and skills. I used to see her in Santee which is around the corner from my house, but followed her to the Target Balboa location, totally worth it. They go above and beyond to help find the best fit glasses and contact lens. Thank you again! read more

It was my first time getting glasses. The entire staff was very knowledgeable and fun. My exam only took 20 minutes. Jennifer helped me find my glasses. She made it fun and stress free. read more

I've always gone to fancy optical shops. I am a recovering snob. I'd just had a bad experience at an optical boutique. I was shopping at Target and stopped in. They are friendly, knowledgeable, have great taste, and are upfront and clear about pricing. I hate being surprised after the end of a process. They guided me each step of the way. Who knew Target had such amazing optical. (Sorry recovering snob). read more

Steve was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He even went the extra mile to follow up with me on the way home to provide me a quote on a pair of glasses I was looking at prior to my exam. He and Dr. Keane were wonderful. Thank you Steve. read more

Hands down the best eye appointment I've had! Both the doctor and Diana up front were super helpful and actually gave me information I've never been given before about glasses and contact care (and I've been wearing glasses for 25 years). I wasn't planning on even getting glasses when I got there, but Diana was so helpful - how could I say no? Plus, I don't like the glasses I had before, so now I'm actually excited to wear them. Definitely recommend coming here - the online appointment setup was super easy too. read more

What a great experience after my nightmare at LensCrafters. The entire staff, Dr. Keane, Darnell & Steve were great. They were all very professional, patient and answered all my questions. Dr. Keane's exam was exceptionally thorough and I never felt rushed. They carry a great variety of frames, everyone wore masks and followed excellent sterilization proceeds that made me feel very safe. When all was said and done I ended up getting both glasses and contacts at a fraction of the cost I was quoted at LenseCrafters. plus they take Eymed insuance. What a great experience. I highly recommend Target Optical San Diego. read more

Extremely rude workers. The doctor herself is amazing however the rest of the team here is horrible! Went in to see why my contact was burning and had made a follow up for 3pm today that they canceled without notifying me until I showed up. I was then told by a team lead and the store manager that I was not welcome to work my shift I was scheduled for and was given my final pay and left. All because ONE person was rude to me. I love by "treat others how you want to be treated" read more

Great team with great customer service! Set up my appointment online and same day. In and out in one hour for dilation, contacts and frame fitment. All my questions were answered and I was given awesome suggestions while I picked out my frames. Give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

Fantastic crew of people here. Very happy with my new glasses and their service. Thank you

I've been searching for a place to get a new prescription and new glasses for a while now. I first went to check out my local Costco but was turned off by the horrible customer service I encountered. I love Costco but I don't think I'll be going their optical department. That's when I found Target optical on balboa. I wasn't able to make my initial appointment but they rescheduled me without any issues. The doctor was nice and helpful. They took all the necessary COVID safety measures. Sanitation, gloves, masks. So you can feel safe about going there. Last but not least, Steve was Amazing. His customer service put the experience over the top. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He will give you all the information you need without pressuring you. He's definitely an asset for the office. read more

I had a great experience getting an exam and shopping for my new glasses. They are very clean, wiping everything down and having hand sanitizer everywhere. Dr. Keane was super sweet and helpful and Steve was amazing! Steve helped me make the final decision on which glasses to get and explained very which lenses he recommended and why. Great team! read more

Best customer service! The staff was very helpful and we got taken care of by Steve, he was very knowledgeable, he explained all promotions going on and was very helpful with selecting a perfect pair of glasses. Anyone looking for a new set of glasses should come check them out and speak to Steve. read more

I happened to walk into target the first day this Optical location opened and I have already returned for a second appointment. I appreciate Dr. Keane. She has great patient-care and is super easy to talk to and understand. Was super helpful during Covid when we had an issue and needed advice. Sending my partner here next week for a check-up. Super helpful! read more

SUPERIOR customer service from Diana D, the Optical Team Leader!  SHE TRULY CARES about you personally, finding the best glasses and frames to suit you, and making it work for your budget. SO importantly, Diana is INCREDIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE, a true, honest professional! I recommend Diana wholeheartedly, and would ALWAYS RETURN to her for future optical needs, though I am moving away. Please go see Diana for her true excellence and expertise! read more

Optical department had a wonderful selection of frrames and custmers service is awesome

I felt safe and comfortable getting my eye exam here yesterday! The staff lets you try on any glasses you want and when you're done, they'll clean and sanitize it. Staff was very welcoming. Steve helped me get some contacts and he was very helpful, funny and nice. Dr. Mashiana was sweet and accommodating as well as she was checking my sight. I will be continuing to get my check ups here! :) read more

Went to target on Balboa today and I went to the electronics department. I had the best customer service ever from Dustin. He was so pleasant outgoing helpful he really made my day. I left target with the biggest smile that I've had in a very long time. Thank you Dustin for your great customer service. read more

Have nothing but great things to say about this optometry! Dr. Keane is very pleasant, professional, and knowledgable. She made me feel very comfortable during my appointment and thoroughly answered all my questions. She even spent time with me afterwards and helped me to pick a few frames for my eyeglasses! Their office is sparkling clean, well taken care of, and has latest equipment and technology. I am confident that health of my eyes is in good hands here:) read more

Extremely helpful team when shopping for eyeglasses, Jennifer guided me through picking out the best options for me.

I had a prescription already so came in for glasses. I came to this location due to my insurance. I have not had glasses in years thanks to Laskik. The employee told me what my insurance would cover. She gave recommendations and listen. The place was really nice, the staff was friend and looking forward to my glass arriving. read more

So this was the first time in about 15 years I've had to go to the eye doctor, my first appointment was super fast super easy! Tho I now have to wear glasses, Dr. Keane made it super easy!!! Thank You read more

Out of all the Target Opticals I've visited, this location is by far my favorite. Thank you Dr. Keane for taking care of me and helping me find the appropriate prescription for my eyes. I have incredibly annoying eyes that change every year and she was so helpful and patient during the exam. The staff are also just so nice and the peasant to be around. Cristi was the associate who helped me and I loved making conversation with her while she helped me get my contacts and lenses ordered. Thank you again Dr. Keane and the target optical team. read more

I had a good experience with the staff except with one of the optometrists. I am a huge believer in integrity, honesty and transparency in a business. The optometrist offered to check my optic nerves/retina and gave me two options: eye drops that will make my vision blurry for 4-6 hours or imaging technology. What she failed to mention that this cost $39 extra, I feel like that is very unethical behavior, as I only found this out when it was time to pay. I do believe that's unfair and that should've been mentioned from the get go. Customer service from the target optical was great, but the experience with optometrist was quite disappointing. read more

Came to this Target Optical after being seen at the Del Sur location and hands down loved this location better! They have a better selection of frames and just loved the overall experience here more. My eye exam with Dr. Keane was very fast and efficient. Not only was I in and out of there but the very few minutes I was in there she let me know that she is also part of a program that gives free exams for babies 6-12 months! Everyone I know who has had kids before had never heard of this but loved that she gave me this information to check out! Definitely felt like she listened to me and all the concerns that I had and could definitely tell that she really cares about her patients. She also informed us that my husband would need to get surgery in order to prevent further eye problems in the future which we were surprised to hear considering that we were never informed of that in the past.! After getting my eyes checked I started to look for some new glasses. I was assisted by Dornelle (unsure of the correct spelling of his name) who gave me some great suggestions on new frames to check out. My husband and I had to wait to order glasses until we got paid later that week, but he was especially helpful in letting us know how much we would end up spending when we came back in and even wrote it down for us on a piece of paper so we knew the breakdown and overall cost! We ended up going back later in the week and was assisted by Steve. He was incredibly helpful in helping me decide on frames, answering any and all questions I had, and loved that he gave his honest opinion. I never felt pressured at all by him during our interaction and even felt like I was getting advice from a friend when I was talking to him. He even went as far as to make sure my husband and I were getting the best deals and tried to help us save the most money which was helpful considering our current economy and being new parents. Overall loved our interaction at this location and will definitely be going here from now on for as long as they take our insurance! And for those wondering about Covid procedures, they were cleaning and sanitizing everything and even asked that we put the glasses we touched/tried on into a separate bin for them to sanitize. They even have separate holders for sanitized and unsanitized pens. read more

Great staff! I felt very welcomed and they helped me out to save a few bucks too! Whoop whoop

Kelly is a very experienced, top notch optometrist she went above & beyond to assist me with all of my questions. I love my new contact lenses & a perfect fit the 1st time around. KUDOS KELLY & Team!!! read more
