A family-run optical institution on Rua de Santa Catarina since 1967. Sunglasses, optical frames and lenses from international brands you know, plus Portuguese curation. Walk in, or message us first.
We've been on Rua de Santa Catarina since 1967, with a second store on Avenida dos Aliados opened in 2020. Three generations of the same family, thousands of pairs of eyes — most of them from Porto, plenty from elsewhere.
For visitors, we offer something cadeia chains can't: a curated selection of premium brands, time to listen to what you need, and the kind of unhurried attention that's rare on a tourist trip.
Both stores welcome walk-ins for sunglasses and quick fittings. For a full eye consultation, please book ahead.
Non-EU visitors can claim VAT back on purchases above €50. We provide the tax-free form at checkout.
Most of our staff speak English. For technical conversations about lenses or prescriptions, just ask for someone who speaks fluently.
5 minutes apart, both within walking distance from São Bento Station, Aliados Square and Sé Cathedral.
We carry the eyewear collections of major fashion houses and the independent labels favoured by collectors. Each frame in store was personally selected at Mido in Milan or Silmo in Paris.
For the Porto sun and beyond — Oakley with prescription Prizm lenses, Persol-style classics, Dior, Gucci and Chanel fashion frames.
From Lindberg titanium (made-to-order in Aarhus) to Dita acetate handcrafted in Sabae, Japan. Essilor lenses cut in our own lab.
On Porto's most iconic shopping street, near Bolhão Market and Igreja do Carmo.
Facing the City Hall on Aliados, 5 minutes from São Bento Station and Trindade Metro.
