Optica, the largest and leading provider of optical services in East and Central Africa, with over 95
store locations, has officially launched its fifth branch in Zambia. The new location at Kafubu Mall in
Ndola further strengthens Optica’s presence, offering customers increased access to professional
eye care and affordable eyewear.
A key feature of Optica‘s services is its commitment to providing free eye tests at every branch. This
initiative reflects the company’s belief that everyone deserves clear vision and that regular eye
exams should be accessible to all, regardless of financial status.
Shoppers will find a wide selection of stylish and affordable eyewear. Frame prices start at just 240
Kwacha, lenses at 250 Kwacha, and complete spectacles from as low as 490 Kwacha. A broad
selection of sunglasses is also available, starting from 380 Kwacha. Each purchase of frames and
lenses includes a one-year manufacturer warranty, highlighting Optica‘s commitment to quality and
customer satisfaction.
All Optica branches are staffed by qualified optometrists who use advanced diagnostic equipment to
ensure accurate and comfortable eye examinations. Prices are printed on all products and
standardized across all locations, ensuring fairness and consistency for every customer.
Optica currently operates branches at the following locations in Lusaka:
- East Park Mall
- Cosmopolitan Mall
- Arcades Mall
- Lewanika Mall
- Kafubu Mall, Ndola
Did you know that health professionals recommend annual eye exams, even for individuals without
noticeable vision problems? Routine testing can reveal early signs of serious conditions such as
glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure-often before symptoms appear.
With this latest expansion, Optica continues to make eye care more accessible across Zambia,
combining convenience, affordability, and expert service.
