Vision & Mission
To become a leading brand name in Asia through our focused approach in vision care.
To provide consumers with the best vision care and eyewear services as well as to uphold the highest standards in reliability, quality and professionalism.
Company Background
Driven by deep passion for vision care, we started with the opening of the very first Focus Point store in Muar, Johor, back in 1989. At the time, it was simply called Focus Vision Care Centre and the store was nothing more than a small counter in shopping centre.
Following the establishment of Focus Point Vision Care Group Sdn Bhd in 1993, a head office was set up in Batu Pahat, Johor to provide management and operational support to the growing number of retail stores. The early 2000s marked another turning point for Focus Point. We moved our headquarters to Petaling Jaya, Selangor, solidifying our presence in the Klang Valley while continuing our nationwide expansion. Meanwhile, in 2002, we had officially launched our Franchise Programme, which played a pivotal role in expanding our retail network across Malaysia and beyond.
As the business flourished, our President & CEO, Dato Liaw Choon Liang was aware of the corporation’s social responsibilities in giving back to the society, and thus the Focus Point Caring Hearts Charity Foundation was formed in 2007, which carries the motto, “Together, We Make A Difference”. Our Foundation partnered with various NGOs to provide essential eye care services to the communities.
In 2010, Focus Point achieved a major milestone by becoming the first optical retail chain to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia. In 2014, Focus Point is officially recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records as the largest optical retail chain store in Malaysia. One of the key drivers of Focus Point’s growth and success is our ability to meet the diverse needs of the broad spectrum of consumer segments through specialised sub-brands and retail concepts like Focus Point, Focus Point Signature, Focus Point Concept Store, Focus Point Outlet, Focus Point Lifestyle, Focus Point SightSavers, Whoosh Eyewear, Opulence, Eyefont, Optometris Anggun and i-Focus, each targeting a specific demographic.
At the same time, we are also embracing a knowledge-based economy where innovation and technology are essential in adding to our value, enhancing our professional services and boosting our overall competitiveness. Focus Point is also the first in the optical market to have embarked on eCommerce in aims of building online to offline shopping experience for customers.
In 2023, Focus Point successfully transferred to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. From those humble beginnings, we have grown from a small-town optical store to a company that not only leads the eyewear retail industry in the country, but one that is set to make its mark on the region. To date, we have more than 200 stores operating across Malaysia and Brunei, with more than 230 eye care professionals ready to serve you.
