Optica has extended its footprint to Naalya, bringing eye care services closer to one of Kampala’s fastest-growing residential areas. The move comes amid rising demand for essential healthcare services as the suburb continues to attract families, students, and young professionals.
Bringing Services Closer
The new Optica branch along Naalya–Namugongo Road marks the company’s seventh outlet in Uganda, reflecting a broader trend of decentralising healthcare services.
For residents, proximity to such facilities reduces travel time and improves access to routine services like eye testing, making it easier to prioritise regular check-ups and overall eye health.
Improving Accessibility Through Pricing
Cost has historically been a barrier to accessing eye care services. Providers are increasingly responding by offering more affordable options.
At Optica, customers can access full spectacles (frames and lenses) from UGX 69,000, while eye testing is provided free of charge at all branches.
The product range includes frames starting from UGX 29,000, lenses from UGX 40,000, and sunglasses from UGX 53,000. Each purchase of frames and lenses comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty.
With qualified optometrists present at every branch and standardised pricing, the focus is on improving reliability and encouraging early care-seeking.
Expanding Presence Across Kampala
The Naalya branch adds to Optica’s growing network in Kampala, with locations in Acacia Mall, Arena Mall, Kampala Boulevard, Ntinda, and Oasis Mall, as well as in Jinja. The expansion is part of a wider effort to bring professional eye care services closer to where people live and work.
Growing Demand for Essential Services
As Kampala continues to expand, suburbs such as Naalya are seeing increased demand for essential services alongside residential growth.
For residents, improved access to eye care reflects a broader shift toward more accessible, community-based healthcare.
