An optical center located within the Target retail store in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, offers a range of vision care services, including eye exams, contact lens fittings, and eyewear sales. This in-store model provides customers with convenient access to eye care while shopping for other goods.
Combining vision services with a retail experience offers increased accessibility and convenience for consumers. Customers can address their vision needs while completing other errands, potentially leading to earlier detection and treatment of eye conditions.
