What Is Target Optical’s Return Policy For Prescriptions?
You are able to return prescription glasses, sunglasses, or eye contact lenses as long as it is within 90 days of your initial purchase.
Note that the contact lenses must be unopened for health and safety reasons. You can fill out a return form online on the Target Optical website’s return request page.
What Is Target Optical’s Return Policy For Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses purchased from Target Optical must be unopened and returned within 90 days of the initial purchase date in order to be eligible for a return or an exchange.
If you have opened or used your contact lenses, you cannot return them due to health and safety issues.
Alternatively, if you receive your contact lenses and notice that they are damaged or incorrect, you can contact Target Optical directly on 1-877-848-8476 to discuss this.
Target may then offer you an exchange, although this is down to the discretion of the staff, and the outcome will vary on a case-by-case basis.
Does Target Optical Accept The Return Of Glass Frames?
Target Optical accepts the return of glass frames as long as that is how you initially purchased them.
Remember that glass frames must have been purchased within 90 days of the date of return to be eligible for a refund.
For a refund, you can return your glass frames online on the Target Optical website.
However, if you would like an exchange instead, you will need to dial 1-877-848-8476 to talk to a member of staff.
Can You Return Items To Target Optical Without A Receipt?
You can return items to Target Optical online without a receipt due to its online form that uses your personal data to confirm that an order was placed instead of needing a receipt.
The form will ask for your email address, living address, and mobile phone number.
Whilst you do not physically need to send your receipt off to Target Optical, you will need access to your order number and the date that you made the order.
This information is likely to have been sent via email to you if you no longer have access to the receipt.
If you are making a return in a Target Optical store, you will need to supply a receipt or some proof of purchase (for example, a bank transfer) to show that you made the purchase.
Can You Return Scratched Glass Lenses To Target Optical?
Target Optical’s returns policy works on a no-hassle and no-questions-asked basis as long as the item is returned within 90 days of its initial purchase date.
As a result of this, you can return glasses that have scratched lenses to Target Optical and still be eligible for a return.
Alternatively, if you want to exchange the glasses due to the scratches and are within the 90-day window, phone Target Optical to discuss this with staff.
They will be more than happy to assist you in claiming an exchange.
Note that if you have surpassed the 90 day returns window, you can only receive an exchange or a return if you had signed up to Target Optical’s ‘Worry-Free Protection Plan’.
