Sam’s Club Optical hours
Most Sam's Club Opticals are open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday. Plus members get early access from 8 to 9 AM every day, the same Plus early-hours window the warehouse offers. Sam's Club Optical is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Easter Sunday, the same four days the warehouse closes. You need a Sam's Club membership to buy frames or contacts, but eye exams with the independent optometrist are open to non-members. Hours vary by warehouse - check the Sam's Club Optical locator.
Sam’s Club Optical operates inside about 600 Sam’s Club warehouses across the United States, selling prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses. Most warehouses also lease space to an Independent Doctor of Optometry for eye exams.
This page covers Sam’s Club Optical hours (typically 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday), the Plus member 8 to 9 AM early access window, the four holidays Sam’s Club Optical closes for, and how Optical hours differ from the warehouse and pharmacy schedules.
Two Sam’s Club Optical specifics worth knowing. You need a Sam’s Club membership to buy frames, lenses, or contacts, but federal law lets non-members see the Independent Doctor of Optometry for an eye exam. Sam’s Club Optical is OPEN Sunday at most locations, unlike Sam’s Club Pharmacy which is closed Sunday chain-wide.

Is Sam’s Club Optical open on Sunday?
Sam's Club Optical is open Sunday 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at most warehouses, the shortest Optical day of the week.

Do you need a Sam's Club membership for Optical?
Membership is required to PURCHASE frames, lenses, or contact lenses at Sam's Club Optical. However, federal law allows non-members to see the Independent Doctor of Optometry for an eye exam. After the exam, non-members can take the prescription elsewhere or join Sam's Club to buy glasses on-site.

Plus members can enter the Sam's Club warehouse from 8 to 9 AM every day, an hour before regular Club member entry. The Optical counter itself is usually not staffed during the 8 to 9 AM Plus hour, so plan exam appointments for after 10 AM (or 11 AM Sunday). Plus members also receive enhanced savings when buying 2 or more pairs of glasses.
What holidays is Sam's Club Optical closed?
Sam's Club Optical is closed on four holidays a year, the same days the Sam's Club warehouse closes: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Easter Sunday. Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve all run modified reduced hours rather than closing.

Can I get an eye exam at Sam's Club Optical?
Yes. Most Sam's Club warehouses lease space to an Independent Doctor of Optometry who handles eye exams.

Both members and non-members can see the optometrist; only members can buy glasses afterward at Sam's Club.

Sam's Club offers a 60-day hassle-free return or exchange policy on eyewear, plus lifetime adjustments and cleanings on glasses purchased there. The 60-day window is generous compared to most optical chains. Bring your receipt and the original glasses to any Sam's Club Optical for a return.
