The Journey of 149 Years: How Lawrence & Mayo Became India's Most Trusted Name in Eyewear

When Lawrence and Mayo began their journey in 1877, the goal was simple. Bring accurate eye care to a country that didn't have easy access to it. The founders travelled, learned and introduced India to global eyewear standards long before the idea of modern optometry existed here.

As the years moved, the name started showing up in places that mattered. In old photographs of royal families. In the hands of freedom leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru. In busy markets, customers trusted the skill of the people behind the counter more than anything else.

Here's the thing. A legacy doesn't survive for more than a hundred years by chance. It survives when a brand keeps improving. Lawrence and Mayo brought contact lenses to India before most people even knew what they were. Later, it introduced computerised testing and precision measurement tools that changed how vision was tested in the country.

What this really means is that every store you walk into today carries more than frames and lenses. It carries 149 years of learning, refinement and responsibility. The care you receive, the accuracy of your eye test, the way a frame sits on your face… none of it is accidental. It's built on generations of people staying committed to one thing.

Helping you see better.

That's the story Lawrence and Mayo continue to write, one customer, one test and one perfect pair at a time.
