Target Optical allows you to return most items within 90 days of purchase for a refund to your original payment method. Returns by mail are free, and you will receive a prepaid shipping label within 48 hours of submitting your return request online.

How returns work

You submit your return request on the Target Optical website. Within 48 hours, you receive a prepaid shipping label by email. You pack your item in its original packaging and ship it using that label. Target Optical inspects the return for quality and then issues your refund.

Exclusions and restrictions

Non-prescription sunglasses and accessories may be returned only if they remain unused and untested, with original tags attached and in resellable condition. Target Optical does not publish a list of other excluded categories beyond these conditions.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method after Target Optical inspects the returned item for quality. The retailer does not state how many business days this process takes.
