  Do NOT come here. Dr. Tran will charge you an arm and a leg for a contact fitting and not even follow up with you! I've been going to Dr. Tran for YEARS because he is the closest optometrist to me. I tried a new optometrist yesterday and it truly opened my eyes to how poorly Target Optical treats patients and what I've been missing out on.
  
  I am not high maintenance. I am not demanding. I just want to be able to see clearly and find contacts that are a good fit for me. Over the last several years, I thought it was a good thing that Dr. Tran only spent less than 5 minutes with me because to me that meant efficiency. Boy, was I wrong...
  
  I decided to start wearing contact lenses a couple of years ago so I had to pay extra on top of the eye exam for a "contact fitting". Yes, you always pay more for a contact fitting but if I'm gonna be dishing out THAT MUCH EXTRA MONEY, I expect more than what Dr. Tran offered me. What the new optometry office I tried taught me was that you are supposed to trial different pairs of contact lenses and come back for a follow up so you can find the perfect pair for YOU. If you don't like the pair you're given, you follow up and try a different pair. With Dr. Tran and Target Optical, he basically forced a pair of Acuvue Oasys 2-week lenses on me and had me order a supply through his optometry technicians. The last couple of years the only lenses I ever knew were Acuvue Oasys. I blindly trusted Dr. Tran to give me the lenses that were best for my eyes. I didn't know I could try monthly pairs or even daily pairs. How many other brands was I missing out on? A lot! After going to a new optometry office, I realized I really do not like Acuvue Oasys! They always dry out really quickly for me and even fall out of my eyes later during the day. Dr. Tran would know that had he bothered to follow up with me and educate me properly on the multitude of contact lenses out there.
  
  All these years I never realized that you're supposed to trial different pairs and come back for a follow up to truly find the right fit for you...

  I will never return to this location and I suggest others do the same. The doctor arrived 35 minutes after the office opened, 2 of us wrre waiting I was seen 45 minutes after my appointment and he rushed it due to his office starting to get crowded because he was so late. Would recommend waiting for any other optometrist. I normally go to the richardson target but they were booked.
