How General Óptica became Spain's trusted eye and hearing care leader
General Optica, a renowned name in Spanish eye and hearing care, has grown into one of the country's top optical and audiology chains. Founded in 1955, the company now runs over 300 stores across Spain, offering everything from prescription glasses to advanced hearing solutions.
The business began as a single store but has since expanded into a major retailer. Its services include professional eye tests, hearing assessments, and specialised procedures like tonometry and retinography. Customers can also choose from prescription glasses, contact lenses, designer sunglasses, and hearing aids.
General Optica focuses on personalised care, using the latest technology to tailor solutions. The brand backs its products with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, a three-year manufacturing warranty, and a 45-day trial for frames and sunglasses.
Beyond Spain, the company entered the Portuguese market in 2023 by acquiring Mais Óptica. As of February 2026, it operates 12 stores there, mostly in Lisbon and Porto. In Spain, locations include a branch in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca, at Avenida Rei Jaume I, Local 14.
With a history spanning over seven decades, General Optica remains a trusted provider of eye and hearing care. Its wide product range, professional services, and strong warranties continue to attract customers in both Spain and Portugal.
