Company History
In 1964, the Jorge Oculista group began its operations, under the leadership of Jorge Fonseca, in the small town of Santo Tirso. Always with a vision for the future, our founder sought to meet the needs of his clients, providing them with personalized and meticulous service, which sets us apart in the market to this day.
Proudly a family business, the group has the direct collaboration of the founder's daughters: Andreia Fonseca, a graduate in Optometry from UPOOP, and Daniela Fonseca, a graduate in Business Management from the Catholic University of Porto.
Currently, we have over 60 experienced and qualified employees, distributed across 20 commercial spaces, who meet the needs of our clients with a high degree of excellence.
THE FOUNDER
To tell the story of the Jorge Oculista group is to tell the story of Jorge, who at just 15 years old began working in the optics field at Rocha Oculista, located in downtown Porto. Encouraged by his family, he performed various tasks in the industry: from working in the workshop to becoming an optician. As he grew, he collaborated with other leading companies in the greater Porto area and established himself as an exemplary and respected professional.
Later he obtained training as an Eye Technician , provided by the École National d'Arts et Métiers in Paris.
With a strategic vision and business acumen, Jorge always set his personal goals. With a spirit of sacrifice and entrepreneurship, he began to manually produce his own frames, in order to create his own business, his current brand.
At age 25, he opened his first store in Santo Tirso. Through hard work, dedication, and effort, he achieved a prominent position in the market, which enabled the company's expansion, and it currently has a strong presence in the northern region.
Today, with 20 physical stores and an online store, Jorge Oculista maintains the same values and continues to work actively to always be a benchmark of excellence in the sector.
