In 1987 a family was going through a challenging financial period. That’s when our father, driven by an unwavering determination, made a bold decision. He packed his bags and embarked on a journey to Dubai, even though he didn’t have a job lined up there.
We remember the long and arduous months that followed. Our father searched tirelessly for employment, facing countless obstacles along the way. The job market was tough, and rejection became a familiar companion. But he never lost hope. Finally, an opportunity presented itself – a position as an office boy at a prestigious lens company.
Day after day, our father delved into the company’s operations, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. He observed the intricate processes involved in lens manufacturing and developed a deep fascination for optics. His dedication and enthusiasm did not go unnoticed, and the company’s management rewarded him with a promotion to the role of an optical technician.
As an optical technician, our father honed his skills and expanded his expertise in the field. He became known for his meticulous attention to detail and passion for his work. It wasn’t long before he achieved another milestone – he became a senior technician.
Yet, his ultimate dream remained unfulfilled. Since his early days as an office boy, he yearned to establish his own optical store, offering high-quality frames and lenses at affordable prices, particularly to those in lower-income brackets.
Driven by our collective desire to make a difference, our family and I took a leap of faith. We opened OPTOCARE optical store and eye clinic, aiming to bring accessible eyewear options to our community. Our mission was to ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, could have access to quality eyewear.
Though we made an impact on the lives of many, we couldn’t ignore the limitations of our physical store. We realized that only a fraction of people in our town could benefit from our offerings. That’s when we decided to take our vision to the digital realm.
Embracing the advancements of the digital era, we launched Optocare Online Eyewear Store. Suddenly, our reach expanded beyond our local community. People from far and wide could now access our affordable frames and lenses. Our mission gained momentum as we touched the lives of individuals across the globe.
Each day brought new growth and opportunities. We continually sought innovative ways to serve our customers while remaining true to our original goal: making quality eyewear accessible to all, regardless of their financial circumstances.
And so, our family’s journey, which started with our father’s courageous leap, continued to flourish. Our optical store and eye clinic, alongside our online platform, became symbols of hope. We catered to the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds, leaving a lasting positive impact on our community and beyond.
