Book through Walmart’s vision center booking online or by calling your store’s vision center directly. The vision center keeps its own hours, shorter than the store’s, and an eye exam is by appointment rather than walk in at most locations.

How to book
Why the hours differ
An eye exam needs a licensed optometrist present, and in many locations the optometrist is independent rather than store staff. That is why vision center hours are shorter than the store’s and why they vary more between locations.
Walmart’s store locator lists vision center hours separately from store hours, which is the detail worth checking before a trip.
