Every vision execution started small. For George Optical, that journey started 66 years ago on the busy streets of Binondo. Fast forward after 66 years, they grew from a modest shop into a trusted home for family eye care.
Optometry Dreams in A Kariton
Back on October 10, 1960, Dr. George Co Sr. and his wife, Mrs. Belen Co, opened their first small clinic in the heart of Ongpin Street. However, their path was far from easy. Before the breakthrough, Dr. George sold cigarettes on sidewalks and ground glass lenses by hand.
Eventually, his ambition pushed him to pursue Optometry. He truly lived by his belief:
To attain something of greater value, one must give up something of lesser value.”
Through hard work, he built deep trust with every patient.
Passing the Torch of Expertise
As time went on, the clinic evolved alongside modern technology.
Today, his son, Dr. Geoffrey Co, leads the institution forward. Furthermore, Dr. Geoffrey brought back advanced training from London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital. He expanded specialized treatments and personalized care for every patient. Consequently, while optical tech keeps advancing, the core promise of the family remains unchanged.
As Dr. Geoffrey warmly puts it,
One thing remains constant—George cares.
