Target Optical gives teachers 10% off eyewear and 5% off contact lenses, according to ID.me. The two rates aren’t the same, so what you save depends on what’s in the cart, and it’s worth knowing which one you’re earning before you build the order.

ID.me’s page for Target Optical lists that same pair of rates for several community groups, teachers and nurses among them. It also lists contact lens promotions that aren’t tied to any community group. Those change often, so we haven’t carried any of them here.

How To Get The Target Optical Teacher Discount

ID.me words the teacher offer as 10% off eyewear and 5% off contact lenses for Teachers. Start at ID.me’s Target Optical page, sign in to your ID.me account or make a free one, and confirm that you’re a teacher. ID.me says verified Teachers community members get these savings through ID.me Shop, so use that route instead of going straight to the store.

Once you’re through, check the cart before you pay and make sure each line shows the rate you expect. If a contact lens line shows the smaller number, that’s the offer working as written, not a mistake.

Glasses Versus Contacts

The bigger rate goes to eyewear. If you’re replacing a pair of glasses this year, that’s where the teacher discount does the most work, and a contact lens order in the same cart earns the smaller 5%. If your plan is to buy only contacts, the discount is real but modest, and the stand-alone contact lens promotions on ID.me’s page are worth a look at the same time. Price both routes at the cart before you commit.

What The Restriction Says

ID.me’s note on the offer says community discounts cannot be combined with any other site promotions, and that other restrictions may apply. In plain terms, if Target Optical has a sale running on the day you shop, you get to pick one: the sale or the teacher rate, not both. We couldn’t find a list of those other restrictions, so read the terms on the checkout page before you pay.

Cash Back Is A Separate Question

ID.me’s page also shows up to 4.0% cash back at Target Optical, and it describes cash back offers as being for every ID.me member, not only teachers. That’s a different benefit from the teacher discount. We couldn’t confirm whether you can take the teacher rate and the cash back on the same order, so check the page for the current terms before you count on both.
