History

Hassan Saadat Yazdi at his first store in Sharq, Kuwait (1951)

Hassan's Optician Co. is a Kuwait-based optical and healthcare company, founded in 1951 by Dr. Hassan Saadat Yazdi, an optometrist originally from Tehran, Iran. The company began operations in Sharq, Kuwait, and in 1960 became the first optician store officially approved by the Kuwaiti Department of Health. Over the decades, Hassan’s has grown into one of the region’s leading optical retailers, with more than 40 branches across Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Dr. Hassan Yazdi played a pioneering role in shaping Kuwait's optical industry. Among his early innovations was the construction of the country’s first lens-grinding machine, enabling local production of prescription lenses and reducing reliance on imports. ^[3]
