An optical center located within a Target retail store in Enfield, Connecticut offers customers a convenient location to access eye care services, including eye exams, prescription eyewear, and contact lenses. This co-located model combines the efficiency of a large retailer with specialized healthcare services. For example, a customer could complete their weekly shopping and also pick up a new pair of glasses during the same visit.
Providing vision care within a retail setting increases accessibility for patients, potentially catching vision problems earlier through routine check-ups. This model also leverages existing infrastructure, offering a streamlined experience by consolidating errands. Historically, accessing such services often required separate trips to specialized clinics, potentially creating scheduling challenges and increased travel time. Combining these services within established retail locations simplifies the process and can lead to improved patient compliance with recommended eye care regimens.
