Optic One - Coruche

The origins date back to 1972, with the opening of the group's first store at No. 1, Praça Marquês de Pombal in Lisbon. It was a space specialized in visual health that introduced products such as contact lenses and ocular prostheses to Portugal. At the time, nothing so advanced existed in the sector as what we offered, which attracted the attention of several personalities, including presidents of the republic, prime ministers, and various public figures of that era.

At the same time, Fátima and Vítor Castanheira (current group administrators) had also entered the sector in 1982, helping to develop several companies in the central region of the country, such as Óptica Médica das Beiras, Eyelux, and Óptica Rainha. Throughout this journey, they consistently maintained a focus on the highest quality of products and services.

In 2004, a merger between companies took place, leading to the disappearance of the original name Centro Óptico Delgado Espinosa, but bringing with it renewed energy through the synergies created among all companies in the new group.

For several years, efforts were made to develop a differentiated activity, but it was in January 2022 that a new stage began, with the creation of a new “face” and a new brand, OPTIC One, which, under the same identity, brings together its current optical companies.

º Óptica Central de Abrantes S.A.

º Óptica Rainha Lda.

º Optijovem S.A.

At this stage, with new management leadership, an evolution emerged toward a concept even more focused on investment in innovation, supported by advanced training for its teams and cutting-edge global technology, aiming to become a reference in specialized optical services in Portugal.

More than 50 years of history is an extremely important asset in our culture and daily life, but we always build our strategy and vision with our eyes set firmly on the future.
