Description

Established optical retail business with multiple branches across Sharjah and Ajman, offering prescription eyewear, sunglasses, contact lenses, and professional eye exams with premium designer brands. Serving families across the UAE with personalized vision care and over a decade of industry expertise.

Reason for sale

The seller is relocating internationally and is offering their 49% equity stake in this branch, which operates as part of a multi-location enterprise.

Products & services

The business operates as a multi-location optical retail chain offering:

  • Prescription eyeglasses with single vision, progressive, bifocal, blue light filtering, and photochromic lens options
  • Designer sunglasses with 100% UV protection and polarized lens options for men, women, and children
  • Clear and colored contact lenses (daily, monthly, yearly) from FDA-approved global brands
  • Professional eye examinations using advanced digital testing equipment
  • Personalized frame fitting and vision correction consultations
  • Aftercare services including adjustments, repairs, and follow-up eye health advice

Revenue is generated through product sales (frames, lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses) and service fees (eye exams, fittings, consultations). The business stocks premium international designer brands — including luxury fashion houses — alongside medical-grade lens technology from globally recognized ophthalmic manufacturers.

Customers & market

The business serves a diverse customer base across the Sharjah–Ajman corridor, including families, working professionals, university students, and residents seeking quality eye care and fashionable eyewear. The UAE eyewear market is on a steady growth trajectory — the Middle East eyewear market was valued at approximately $565M in 2025 and is projected to reach $822M by 2036 (CAGR 3.4%), driven by increased screen time, rising myopia rates, growing health consciousness, and the region's intense sun exposure driving demand for UV-protective eyewear. The UAE luxury eyewear segment is growing at approximately 4.6% CAGR. The business benefits from high foot traffic locations in densely populated residential and commercial areas, with walk-in and appointment-based service models supporting both new and repeat customers across all age groups.

Operations & team

The business operates multiple retail branch locations across Sharjah and Ajman, UAE. Each branch is staffed by licensed optometrists and trained optical consultants who provide eye exams, frame selection guidance, and fitting services. The business maintains partnerships with international eyewear brands and certified ophthalmic laboratories for product sourcing. Operations include walk-in and appointment-based service, WhatsApp-based customer communication and ordering, UAE-wide delivery for online inquiries, and an active content marketing program (SEO blog) driving organic website traffic. The founding owner oversees business management across all locations. The LLC was established in 2023, with the founding team bringing over a decade of UAE optical industry experience.
