Episode 8 – Alberto Oculista
In the second episode of the new season of “Marcas com História”, we travel to Madeira to discover a brand that established itself in the Portuguese optics and is now celebrating 40 years: Alberto Oculista.
It all started at number 41, Fernão Ornelas Street, in Funchal, with a young man who was born with few possessions but had a lot of ambition. Alberto Caires set up an optics business that has continued to grow until today. From a store under a stairwell, to a reference group in Portugal and across borders, the founder tells us how this passion was born, how he passed it on to his children, and how he worked to get where he is today.
With the aim of improving people’s quality of life, through vision, Alberto Oculista is a company that invests in innovation, differentiation, and experience. It remains independent, a hundred per cent family run, just like in the beginning, and it has already left its mark on the country.
