Target Optical hours

Most Target Opticals are open 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday, and 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Sunday. Some locations close earlier or close Sunday entirely - Sunday hours vary the most. Target Optical is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday alongside the Target store. Eye exams are by an Independent Doctor of Optometry who sets a separate schedule from the retail counter. Hours vary by store - check the Target Optical store finder.

Target Optical operates inside about 1,000 Target stores nationwide. The chain is owned and operated by EssilorLuxottica, the same parent company behind LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, and Sunglass Hut, with Target leasing space inside its retail stores.

This page covers Target Optical hours (typically 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday, and 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Sunday), how to schedule an eye exam with the independent doctor, the holidays Target Optical closes for, and how Target Optical hours differ from the host Target store.

One Target Optical specific worth knowing: the eye exam is performed by an Independent Doctor of Optometry, not a Target employee. The doctor sets a separate schedule from the retail counter, and at some locations the doctor is only on duty 3 to 4 days a week. Target Optical itself is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter alongside the host Target store.
