Opticaudio Gamonal

Optical and hearing care in Gamonal

Opticaudio Gamonal is a neighborhood optician and hearing care center in Burgos's Gamonal district. It explicitly describes itself as an independent optical store rather than a franchise, combining sales of glasses and contact lenses with hearing aid fittings and vision and hearing exams.

Areas of expertise

The business specializes in progressive-lens fittings and hearing aid fittings. The team includes Miguel Barranco, an optometrist specializing in progressive lenses and contact lenses, and Marta Serrano, a hearing aid fitting specialist.

Services

• Eyeglasses and frames
• Contact lenses
• Vision exams
• Hearing aids and hearing aid fittings
• In-house optical lab

In-house optical lab

One feature the business highlights is its own optical lab, which it describes as one of the few remaining in Burgos. Services include:

• Replacing scratched lenses on the spot, without waiting for a factory order
• Fitting older lenses into new frames
• Adjusting and repairing frames and lenses
• Cutting and edging lenses in-house, which can shorten turnaround times for new glasses
• Custom sports eyewear made by hand rather than through standardized production
• Replacing worn screws and small frame hardware right away
• Comfort adjustments when glasses slip or feel too tight

Lens treatments

The optical store lists treatments available for lenses: anti-reflective coating; a hard coating for greater scratch resistance; hydrophobic coating to repel water and make cleaning easier; anti-fog coating, useful in humid settings and for people wearing masks; anti-static coating to keep dust from sticking; and an easy-clean treatment combining hydrophobic and anti-static properties. The company says this last treatment removes up to 90% of dirt with a simple breath or cloth.

How appointments work

The process has three steps: an initial conversation to understand the customer's day-to-day needs; a thorough exam to assess the eyes and/or ears; and follow-up advice focused on offering only what the customer needs.

Financing

The company offers interest-free financing and says it covers the loan interest so customers do not have to go without the lenses they need. Financing requires only a government-issued ID and a debit or credit card, and the optical store handles the paperwork.
