Our Story

A GENERATIONAL VISION.

Beirut, 1948.

George Bassil opened the first Optique et Vision shop in Downtown Beirut with a clear vision: to offer expert eye care, trusted service, and quality eyewear to the Lebanese community.

As one of the first optometrists in the Middle East, he built OV on precision, care, and strong family values. More than eyewear, OV has always been rooted in the belief that clear vision plays an essential role in people’s lives ; helping them learn, work, move, connect, and feel independent.

What began as one optical shop grew into a trusted name, carried forward by new generations of the Bassil family and a dedicated team of specialists.

Through the years, Lebanon changed, but OV remained ,evolving with the times while staying true to its roots and its commitment to caring for the community’s vision.

Today, Optique et Vision is a landmark in vision care, offering expert optometry, carefully selected eyewear, tailored lenses, and hearing solutions.

A family vision, carried through generations.
