A Tifton family business since 1982.
We’re a family owned and operated company in Tifton, Georgia, offering an expansive selection of eyeglass frames, sunglasses and contact lenses, plus a full-time optometrist for on-site eye exams.
Quality eyewear. Friendly, superior service.
City Optical’s founder, John T. Grant Hall Sr., started working in the optical business in 1965. For 17 years, John worked with Pearl Vision as both an office and regional manager at several different locations.
Taking his career to the next step, John and his wife, Brenda, founded City Optical Inc. on April 19, 1982 in downtown Tifton. They started their business with two principles: make quality eyeglasses at affordable prices, and always offer friendly, superior service to all their patients.
Later, their son, John T. Grant Hall Jr., started as an apprenticed optician in August 1987 and became a licensed dispensing optician in August 1991. After 17 years under John Sr. and his son’s management, the business had grown enough to expand the office to welcome new patients.
Since day one, God has blessed our company and provided us with patients. He led us, we followed, and because of our obedience He has enormously blessed us with the greatest patients in the world, who over time have become our friends.— John Hall Sr., Founder
