Artoptic was founded in the 1960s by eyewear designer George Gero, who helped introduce the idea that eyeglasses could be both functional and fashionable. The company became known for producing well-made European optical frames, many of which were manufactured in Italy and France, two of the world’s historic eyewear centers. Vintage Artoptic frames from this era are appreciated for their quality construction and classic styling.
