Target Optical — Local services in Town of Islip

The eye dr. that examined my eyes was great and very friendly and he figured out the perfect prescription for me! I absolutely love my contacts. My only issue was that I had an appointment at a specific time and I showed up on time and I had to stand outside and wait a long time for them to open. It looked like maybe they showed up late to work. It caused me to be late to my job after my appointment. I also ordered glasses to give my eyes a break whenever I don't want to wear my contacts. When my order came in I went to the store to have them fitted. The girls at the front did not seem to understand how to properly adjust the glasses to my head. I kept getting the feeling like they didn't know what they were doing and I did not feel confident. I kindly requested to please get this right today because it took me a while to drive here and I don't have a lot of time to come back. It still didn't feel right after several attempts. I just made do with them the way she adjusted them and I left. I didn't want to make it awkward by repeatedly saying they aren't right. I put them on again when I got home and they kept falling down my nose past my eyes and were extremely loose and weren't even touching my ears at all and were up high in my hair. I'm very surprised the Bayshore location let me walk out like this. I was so disappointed and have been unable to wear them for a month they were so bad. I think the girls definitely need more training on fitting glasses. I decided to try the Sayville location instead and Jimmy corrected the problem right away and confidently fixed it in a few minutes. As soon as I put the glasses on he saw how off the glasses were and not fitted to me properly at all. It's amazing how quickly he fixed it and they now feel great!!! I'm going to always go to Sayville...

Decided I was tired of wearing glasses that were years old. Im the type of person who when I make a decision, I jump on it and don’t like to wait. So on a late Sunday afternoon, my husband and I were calling every optical center around. We came across an appointment here, and from the beginning I was impressed. Easy and quick to schedule an appointment online. Doug was the technician who helped us from start to finish. He explained the entire process, was knowledgeable and probably helped us save a buck or two. And though I was skeptical at first of walking out of the office with a new glasses prescription without coming in contact with a single doctor, I can say it feels too good to be true. FIVE days, yes five, after walking in to Target Optical, I am enjoying being able to see again. They do not take our vision plan (Davis Vision), but I honestly didn’t pay much more than I would have if they did. If you are in need of a stylish new pair of frames for a great price, and an experience that will be sure to blow you away, please schedule your eye exam at Target.

PSA: If you go on a Sunday (or multiple other weekdays), you will not actually see a doctor in person. The technician will do all of the testing and send it over to the doctor. You will webchat with a doctor, and someone who will give you your glasses prescription. It was a little strange to have them adjusting the refraction machine virtually, but the end result is just as good as if they were standing in the...

My name is Gregory Rybeck and I had the privilege of meeting Doug in December of 2023, at the Target Optical in Bay Shore, Long Island (NY).

I was a bit nervous and anxious as I haven't had my eyes checked in over 20 years. Doug really made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He went over the entire process and guided me, step by step, to make everything less daunting. Some of the machines looked intimidating to me. I suffer from migraine too, so I was a bit leery to look into them for the specific tests, etc. Thanks to Doug, I made it through unscathed!!

Doug has a very calming nature to his personality. I would highly recommend any of my friends and family to go see Doug (no pun intended) at Target Optical in Bay Shore, Long Island!! The whole experience was outstanding. I also liked that Doug was able to assist the virtual docs to adjust the equipment while they examined me. He is clearly an expert. He is very knowledgeable too. He answered all of my questions with a smile (I had A LOT of them too!!!)

Please pass my thanks onto Doug. My glasses are AMAZING and really are making a difference in my life!!!

Please feel free to reach out if I can help in...
