  • Funky Sunglasses Bangalore | S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | Bengaluru

    As the best optical retailer in Bangalore we understand the needs of the new generations. We have all collections you are looking for. Brave Bangalore See the Brave Bangalore Collection | Calling All Riddlers, Makers & Bakers! | See Bangalore Better 8 blocks, 1800 acres and a million ideas. Koramangala is the crucible for the everything bold and new. With a new startup mushrooming in the area almost everyday - there is a palpable sense of energy all around. It is hard to imagine, then, that the area was nothing more than a forgotten, damp swamp until the late 70s, when the first settlers came in to build their homes. What might have possessed them to choose this place for a brand new beginning? Perhaps, Koramangala’s original inhabitants shared the same appetite for risk as its current residents do. For each block is home to entrepreneurs who have left cushy, well-paying corporate jobs, to pursue a dream. And they seem to be onto something...with desi startups raising a staggering $3.5 billion in the first half of 2015 alone! Koramangala 1/1 Its young residents are possibly drawn to the legacy of Koramangala.... No wonder humble 2 BHKs have become hives of startup activity and Koramangala’s Costa coffee outlet now has a reputation for being a great networking venue. Hip, new co-working spaces draw technology whiz kids from all over the country, who talk passionately about the latest startup think tank, and their next investor pitch meeting. Koramangala - is the brave, new, face of Bangalore. And it is for people with an appetite for the new and the untried. Its young residents are possibly drawn to the legacy of Koramangala - which in the 90s saw IT biggies like Wipro, Infosys and Microland open up their offices there. Next came stories of startups that hit pay dirt, with Flipkart being the most well-known of them all. And now, there seems to be no stopping the wave. With Swiggy, Ola, and other big names putting down roots here, Koramangala is the epicenter of change. 1/1 1/1 Some people fashion the world into a better place. By buying a pair of these metal frames by United Colors of Benetton you are buying into a whole lot of social good! For this Italian fashion major is not only synonymous with youthful style, it stands for sustainable, ethical choices as well. The perfect choice for the Brave Bangalorean then who is excited and hopeful about a brighter, better future and ready to build it! The Collection 1/1

  • Vintage Opticals| S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | Bengaluru

    As the vintage optical retailer in Bangalore we understand only one thing better and that is the city. We take you on a journey through the streets of our home. Vintage Bangalore See the Vintage Bangalore Collection | See Bangalore Better Sadashivanagar still offers a throwback to an expansively green, unhurried part of Bangalore. You can take a walk around Sankey Tank that borders the area, built by Col. Richard Sankey, in 1882 to guard the city against water shortage, or you can ride a retired racehorse through the grounds of the Princess Riding Academy, owned by the former princess herself, Late Meenakshi Devi, whose love for horses dated back to when she was a little girl of 6. The area certainly has an illustrious history. Its residents include former presidents, chief ministers, Nobel laureates, royals, business barons and is named after a freedom fighter with a heart of gold. Sadashivanagar, the name is a tribute to Karnataka’s Karnad Sadashiva Rao who was one of the first individuals to pledge his support for Gandhiji’s Satyagraha movement. Unfortunately, he died penniless, having spent all his considerable private wealth in service of the Indian Independence movement and the welfare of the poor. Malleshwaram & Sadashivanagar 1/1 But until the 1990s, Sadashivanagar was actually called ‘Palace Orchards’... Because the upscale, largely residential neighbourhood, was created out of the former royal gardens of the Bangalore Palace. The area is still home to various members of the erstwhile-royal Wodeyar family, from Mysore, who used to spend their summers at the Palace here in the city. Another one of the area’s distinguished occupants include Nobel Laureate, C V Raman who petitioned the then Maharaja of Mysore for a grant of land, in 1941, to build what would become the Raman Institute. C V Raman passed away in 1970, but a team of physicists continues to do pioneering work in optics, quantum theory, relativity and gravity. You and I may not be able to discuss the finer nuances of the Raman Effect but we can certainly pay a visit to the quaint building in Sadashivanagar, and browse through the scientists collection of gems, crystals and rock specimens from all over the world. Or marvel at his love for the natural world, evidenced by a collection of stuffed birds, beetles and butterflies in his museum. 1/1 1/1 True sophistication never goes out of style and this pair of Giorgio Armani glasses reaffirms that. In a havana matte colour, these round shell glasses combine retro details with modern materials. A part of the ‘Frames of Life’ collection by the marquee Italian brand, the slim metal-hinged temples display the Armani logo, discreetly. A keyhole bridge and rivets lend a refined, vintage look that would not be out of place whether you were in Bengalooru or Beijing, Milan or Mumbai. The Collection 1/1

  • Spectacles Frames and Sunglasses | S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | optics near me

    Discover a wide range of quality eyewear at SRGR. With over 1200 hand-picked eyeglasses per store, we prioritize quality, style, fit, and after-sales service. Spectacle Frames & Sunglasses We are the pioneer opticians in Karnataka with roots dating back to the 19th century. Quality products, precision in dispensing and service is our main focus. Every eye piece in our store is important and so is every customer. We are constantly looking to understand and make the wearers experience perfect, if not optimal. We stock a wide range of products from lenses to frames & sunglasses. Each store holds over 2000 eyeglasses to help you make the right selection and each eyepiece is hand picked and carefully selected by the management. We look at quality, durability, style, fit, after sales services, material and frame construction when selecting each eyepiece. Brand name and location are important parameters too in procurement. FRAMES AND SUNGLASSES Types of Eyeglasses that we Dispense Rimless Origins of rimless spectacles dates back to 1880’s but it gained popularity in the last few decades. Rimless eyeglasses or the 3 piece frame has undergone several innovations over the years. Brands like Silhouette and Lindberg have made this style a classic. While it was fashionable to wear this style in the 1990’s to early 2000’s, the rimless eyeglasses will remain forever a classic. While its popularity keeps fluctuating, there will always be a consistent set of individuals who can wear nothing else but rimless glasses, hence the demand for these eyeglasses remain. These are delicate to use only because of the mounting but most rimless frames are exceptionally strong and lightweight. We recommend this type of eyeglasses to careful users only because the rimless lenses need to be handled carefully even though the frame is strong. These eyeglasses are also best suited for those who require exceptionally lightweight frames or eyeglasses that don’t stand out on the face. The style blends better with spectacles than sunglasses. Having said, there are some exceptionally sleek and stylish sunglasses in luxury brands that break this pattern. Full Rimmed There are several styles in full rimmed eyeglasses. A large collection of spectacles and sunglasses full into the category of full rimmed frames. These eyeglasses are made of different materials, in various colours and sizes to meet the needs of all types of faces. Full rimmed glasses or full frames can be the most durable as the rim encloses the lenses completely. They are less prone to break or damage if handled properly and are more durable than rimless or half rimmed glasses. Moreover, full rimmed glasses are the best suited for individuals who have high powered prescriptions. Half Rimmed Half rimmed, semi-rimmed or supra eyeglasses were initially designed to reduce the overall weight of the spectacle or sunglasses when worn. These eyeglasses have a metal or a shell top or a combination of both and a thin, strong plastic gut inserted into the rim of the lens at the bottom. While this type of frame construction is a blend of both a rimless and full frame, it is again best suited for lenses that are not too thick and for people who handle their eyeglasses carefully Shapes of Eyeglasses that we Stock

  • Best Optical Retailer | S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | Bengaluru

    As the oldest optical retailer in Bangalore we understand only one thing better and that is the city. We take you on a journey through the streets of our home. Promising Bangalore See the Promising Bangalore Collection | See Bangalore Better | Get a taste of things to come Whitefield, you half expect this vast, technology outpost of Bangalore to shimmer in the distance, all its buildings of glass and concrete standing tall and standing proud in the sun. Because, in the former decade, this formerly-quaint settlement has morphed into IT megapolis, with international tech parks that house the biggest corporates in the world. From GE, IBM, Dell and TCS, to telecom majors, Tesco, GM and more. Chances are if you are in big business, you are in Whitefield. Not surprisingly, Whitefield lures hordes of talented, hard working professionals from the world over. They are driven to achieve the best of everything that Whitefield has to offer. And Whitefield does offer a lot to those who can afford it. Malls dedicated to only the most upscale, luxury brands, beautifully laid out villaments in exclusive gated communities, apartments by the best builders, man made lakes, international schools and access to world-class healthcare is guaranteed with super speciality hospitals like Columbia Asia and Sathya Sai Hospital. Whitefield 1/2 Whitefield is home to a network of Urban Heros... However, appearances can sometimes be deceptive. Look closer and you will find that Whitefield is not without its own problems. New entrants to the area are grappling with infrastructural issues. What with rapidly depleting groundwater levels, lakes foaming with untreated sewage, endless traffic snarls, a rapidly disappearing green cover and encroachment by developers - Whitefield is beset by growing pains. Today, it is hard to imagine this urban settlement not overrun by vehicles of every shape and size, but there was a time, long ago, when Whitefield was virgin territory. It was the late 1800s, when the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore bequeathed 3900 acres of land to the Eurasian and Anglo-Indian Association. Its members decided to name the area in honour of their founder, D S White. Some vintage buildings and bungalows survive the onslaught of the years...but much has changed. Speak to an old timer, or go on a Whitefield heritage walk and you will be surprised by the stories they have to tell. 1/1 1/1 A favourite tale is about Winston Churchill who was a regular at the Waverly Inn, that stands to this day. Churchill would ride into the wilds of Whitefield from Richmond Town, to court the innkeeper’s daughter, Rose Hamilton. Other stories abound about kitchen gardeners and farmers who would cart their produce to nearby Kolar Gold Fields or KGF a quick rail journey away to make a pretty penny. The fields of old may have disappeared, but Whitefield is home to a network of urban heroes even today. Through communities like Whitefield Rising, tree-huggers, kitchen gardeners, civic activists and neighbourhood champions, are all coming together to make Whitefield what it truly can be - a shinier, happier part of the city’s growing skyline. Whether you play sports or have a demanding work schedule this sleek rimless pair from TAG Heuer will not let you down. Eyewear from this 150 year old brand is designed for performance. The lightweight frame is built to be strong and easy to wear, and the design will make sure that it stays in place with gentle pressure. So go on and pick this winner from a brand known for scoring under pressure, always. The Collection 1/1

Indulgent Bangalore See the Indulgent Bangalore Collection | See Bangalore Better | Indulgence-The Bangalore Way Its still-green avenues hide many delights. While its main street will take you on gastronomical journey from Vietnam via Mexico and Italy all within a space of a few hundred metres, its bars and microbreweries will lure all you thirsty travellers in, once dusk falls. If you are in the mood for jazz head to BFlat, drop into a Carnatic music concert at Sangeetha Sabha, or check out Humming Tree for some poetry slam. Step into a by lane on balmy morning and discover a store selling colourful, sleek looking Channapatna tableware, or spend an entire afternoon hunting for the perfect black dress in the many fashion boutiques that dot its streets.

Indiranagar 1/1 Introduce Yourself to Indiranagar! One of the most expensive localities in Bengalooru, Indiranagar, named after our former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, puts the I in indulgence. The creme de la creme of the city drop into the sprawling and well appointed Indiranagar Club or East Cultural Association (ECA). While CMH road with the metro line running through it, Thippasandra market and 100 Ft road have transformed into commercial hubs over the years, the rest of Indiranagar exudes an altogether different charm. For many of Indiranagar’s broad tree-lined streets speak to its history as a Defence Colony. A real luxury in this real estate mecca where every square feet costs top dollar. Here, then, is a part of town that knows how to pamper you & cater to your every whim. It is only fitting then that some of the most upscale, look-good-feel-good pieces of the Bangalore Collection are inspired by this indulgent side to Bangalore. 1/2 Spend some ‘I and Me’ time as you slip on the ‘Melvin’ eyeglasses, for women, by Original Penguin . Here is a hip, contemporary looking round shell frame from a classic brand. Each frame features Pete the Penguin, a discreet but distinct icon that defines the brand. Known for its craftsmanship, your pair of Melvins will never go out of style.

  • Eyewear for Evolving Bangalore | S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | Bengaluru

    We at SR Gopal Rao understand the evolving needs of eyewear. We have all good collections to serve you better. Evolving Bangalore See the Evolving Bangalore Collection | See Bangalore Better | Evolving- A Way of life in Bangalore The best of stories begin a long long time ago. And the story of Bangalore is no exception. In the early 1800s when the British Army had defeated Tipu Sultan’s forces in the 4th Mysore War, they decided to move, lock stock and barrel, from swampy Srirangapatnam to beautiful Bangalore. It was 1809, and Bangalore, the cantonment began to grow. Families of army folks, those employed by the Raj, hopeful traders, and missionaries came from all over. The presence of the empire was becoming evident. For the colonial masters built wide roads, large parks, promenades, churches, schools, hospitals, golf ranges, a race course, dance halls and more. Stately bungalows with fountains and gardens came up in areas like Richmond Town and South Parade (now M.G. Road). And Bangalore, was forever changed. Central Business District 1/1 Central Bangalore Is Constantly Evolving... Two hundred years hence, so much has changed, yet much has remained the same. Step away from the traffic, into the grounds of St. Mark’s Cathedral and maybe you will hear the restored pipe organ, play, like it is 1939. Peer at the arches of Mayo Hall and spare a thought for the young Viceroy, Lord Mayo, who was stabbed to death, in Port Blair. Or look more closely at Hard Rock Cafe, at the end of MG Road and you will see a 100-year old tudor style building which was The Blighty’s Tea Rooms, home to the Salvation Army and a HMV record store before becoming a cool watering hole of today. Central Bangalore has helped mark time, and has kept pace with it. Today, the area has a new set of landmarks that draw curious and envious stares. On one end there's UB City standing tall at 20 floors, on the other end, is the exstensive gourmet store Food Hall, at 1 MG mall. Also, every turn features a prestigious school, from St. Joseph's, to Bishop Cottons and Baldwin’s. Star hotels and consulates of countries ranging from Slovenia to Japan are housed in the lanes crisscrossing this district. 1/1 1/1 But even as central Bangalore retains its exclusive, graceful air - amidst all the chaos reigning all around it - some places have disappeared or changed forever. Gangarams the bookstore on MG Road has moved away, and Premier Bookshop shut down after a long struggle to stay open. India Coffee House has relocated, and Plaza Theatre has given way to an impersonal brand. Big Kids Kemp - India’s first ever megastore, so symbolic of Bangalore in the eighties and 90s, stands forlorn - wearing a dilapidated air. But perhaps, this ceaseless cycle of change is what lends Central Bangalore its sense of momentum. Because even as neon signs overshadow the almost forgotten, quaint charm of the area - a new landmark vies for our attention. Why, as Wikipedia informs us, the Bengaluru Turf Tower, a 156 floor building is all set to change the skyline in 2020. So, buildings may come and go, but the heart of Bangalore, its Central Business District, does promise to go on for ever. Stride into the future with these sleek pair of sunglasses courtesy IC! Berlin . The brand is proud to be 100% German. The Germans are known the world over for precision engineering and these sunglasses are no different. They feature a unique, patented screw-less hinge system, which when combined with high quality materials - make these shades virtually indestructible. The Collection 1/1

  • Traditional Eyewear Bangalore | S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians | Bengaluru

    SR Gopal Rao Bangalore has the best collection of traditional eyewear. Visit our branch and have a look. Traditional Bangalore See the Traditional Bangalore Collection | Be Trendy - Go Traditional! | See Bangalore Better Home to writers like Shashi Deshpande, playwrights like Prakash Belawadi, nuclear physicist Late Raja Ramanna, mega film star Late Vishnuvardhan and the man who kickstarted the IT revolution, N R Narayana Murthy, ‘Jaya’nagar is indeed home to champions of every stripe. Arguably one of the largest residential areas in Asia, Jayanagar, is subdivided into a seemingly mind boggling array of 10 blocks, including the 4th ‘T’ Block. And, when you venture into the labyrinthine Jayanagar 4th Block market, it does seem like an entire continent of people has descended upon it. Many of them mill about ‘Cool Joint’ and ‘Hot Chips’. Others make the trip craving some mango bhel, or Dharwad Peda, or crisp dosas from Ganesh Dose Camp. Simultaneously, hordes haggle with hawkers selling everything from vegetables in Janatha Bazaar, to silks and strings of jasmine, ornate gold jewellery to trinkets and balloons on the streets outside. Jayanagar & Basavangudi 1/1 Jayanagar will always be special... The market area retains a certain nostalgic air, for longtime residents. Some fondly recall the Puttanna Kanagal Theatre, renamed after one of the most famous Kannada film directors ever. Inaugurated in the late seventies, the single screen that could house a 800+ strong audience, Puttanna theatre was one of the most modern cinemas of its day. However, today, the razed site lies forlorn, amidst talks of a grand revival. Still others are moved to take a trip down memory lane when they pass by South End and the historic Ashoka Pillar, erected to mark the southernmost end of the city. The city has expanded way past its original boundaries and Jayanagar too has morphed into a glitzier avatar. The choicest international brands, a new crop of restaurants, a couple of drinking places and multiplexes may seem a little out of place in this classic part of Bangalore...however, Jayanagar has always been truly cosmopolitan in the ways that matter. 1/1 1/1 For the Ganesha Temple has always been a stone’s throw away from one of the city’s largest mosques. It’s stark white marble Jain temple a quick walk away from a beautiful church. And its streets home to polyglots who speak a mix of Urdu, Tamil, Telegu, Hindi, and Kannada with ease. Easy access to some of the city’s most well known colleges like National College, NMKRV and Vijaya College, hospitals, multiple parks including Lalbagh, and presence of a large BMTC bus depot have all made this one of the most livable parts of town. And Jayanagar will always have an extra special place for SRGR, as 3rd Block houses our 3rd store, that began operations in 2011. So join the hubbub of the marketplace, or step away and find your own oasis of calm, in the large and cultured vistas of Jayanagar. For this locality that began as a planned residential layout way back in 1948 seems to have lost none of its mojo, almost 70 years hence. And much like SRGR, Jayanagar goes to show that some things become a true classic with time... One look and these sunnies scream designer. Maui Jim sunglasses were created on the shiny, happy, Hawaiian Islands to make the world a cooler place. Their products feature the patented PolarizedPlus2® lens technology for brilliant colour so every detail is crisper and cleaner and without glare or harmful UV. Slip on a pair and See The Brilliance. This particular piece is a rectangular shaped beauty in a rose pink colour. With its clean lines they are sure to complement a range of facial features. The Collection 1/1

And never rouse the Shankar Nag-loving auto raja as he takes his Sunday-siesta. Bengalooru, everyone who calls the city home has a different story to tell. Each locality, every main and cross, reveals a little of the old, jostling for space with the new. But while much newsprint has been devoted to Bangalore’s transformation from a sleepy little cantonment to a technology hub, longtime residents and new entrants to the city will both attest to Bangalore’s endearing charm.Some of its famous flowering trees may have given way to impersonal buildings in glass and chrome, the always cosmopolitan city where snatches of Tamil and Telugu were heard may now echo with a dizzying array of languages from all over, but some things remain the same. The warmth of its people, the strength of its filter coffee, the weather that could turn accountants into poets, the laidback-yet-casually-hip vibe, Bengalooru is special. And it takes a special someone to show you exactly what makes it tick. As longtime residents and lifetime fans of this city we call our own, we at SRGR, wish to take you on a guided tour of its many delights. We want to tell you stories about the Anglo Indian residents who put the White in Whitefield, introduce you to a single screen theatre in Jayanagar that doesn't exist anymore. We want to share with you stories about brave residents of Koramangala who decided to make a forgotten swamp their home, and find out what keeps MG Road ticking over and getting more with-it the older it grows. Join us as we regale you with stories about the former and current royalty of Sadashivanagar, and as we undertake the herculean task of inventorying all the restaurant and bars in Indiranagar… As we prepare to unveil our carefully curated Bangalore Collection of spectacle frames and sunglasses, we are here, as always, to help you See Bangalore Better.

    Explore the rich history and heritage of S. R. Gopal Rao Opticians & Optometrists. Learn about our legacy as pioneers in eyecare. Better Vision, Since 1936. The Legacy Of S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians We are the pioneer opticians in Karnataka with roots dating back to the 19th century. Quality products, precision in dispensing and service is our main focus. This text isn't scripted but it is written by none other than the family that manages the business. Visit us to understand our processes and the care that goes into dispensing each item. Every eye piece in our store is important and so is every customer. It was the late 19th century. Bifocals had been around for a few decades now and trifocals had been recently invented. Contact lenses were still a concept being explored that wouldn’t come into their own for at least half a century. The world over, men and women were trying out different eye-wear to enhance vision. As evolutionary beings, we had come a long way since Seneca read books using a globe of water for magnification in 4 BC. India was not unfamiliar with visual aids. There have been references in our texts which point to usage as early as the 19th century, and even invention in South India. Vision aids may have been an accessory of the elite in pre-independence India but a definite market did exist. The industry however, was in a nascent space. It was in this environment that a young man brought alive his vision and entrepreneurial dynamism. A young retailer of spectacles, watches and dentistry instruments, set up shop in the Cantonment area of Bangalore to dispense opticianry of quality. Full of verve and versatility, this young man brought his business acumen to usher in organised and professional retail services to a fledgling industry. Look through the archives of S.R.Gopal Rao : CLICK HERE HISTORY & HERITAGE MILESTONES S.N.Rama Rao was a dentist, watchmaker and optician. He had set up shop in the late 19th century opposite Tippu Sultan's Fort in Kalasipalayam.

In 1971 with Malathi Manay and Chandrashekar Manay the second generation took succession. In 1972 the store saw its first renovation, a step to newer modern times that the brand has always embraced. In 1974, continuing with the same pioneering spirit, the business started its first contact lens practice and became one of the earliest retailers in the city to do so. 1982-2011 It's time for the third generation to take the brand to loftier heights. In 1982, Hemanth Manay completed his Diploma in Optometry and joined the business He broadened the brand identity by introducing international luxury and premium brands in the 1980’s.
