Optiek Cardoen

Are you loo­king for high qua­li­ty glas­ses made from sus­tainable mate­ri­als? Then go to Optiek Car­doen in Besel­a­re! This store, foun­ded by Fran­cis­ca, has been around for more than 30 years and is alre­a­dy an estab­lished name in West Fland­ers. A few years ago, this pro­fes­sio­nal eye­wear shop swit­ched from the big, well-known eye­wear brands to Euro­pean brands and small, envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly eye­wear manu­fac­tu­r­ers. 

Are you loo­king for pre­scrip­ti­on glas­ses? At Optiek Car­doen you will enjoy expert advice and you can also have your eyes mea­su­red. The opti­ci­an orders the len­ses from the envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly lens manu­fac­tu­rer Zeiss. Moreo­ver, all glas­ses are assem­bled by Fran­cis­ca hers­elf in her work­shop at the back of the store. Are your glas­ses dama­ged or bro­ken? Then you can also come in for repairs.

At Optiek Car­doen you will find a nice sel­ec­tion of frames from small, sus­tainable brands that work with recy­cled or bio-based mate­ri­als. Fran­cis­ca has only one pair of each style in her store. That way you can be sure of get­ting a uni­que pair of glas­ses! 

Good to know: for every pair of glas­ses sold, Optiek Car­doen dona­tes 5 euros to Light For The World, a Bel­gi­an NGO that helps blind child­ren in Bur­ki­na Faso, Ethio­pia, Kenya, Mozam­bi­que, South Sudan and Ugan­da. So when you’re buy­ing your new glas­ses here, you also con­tri­bu­te to a bet­ter world.
