Who we are
A FAMILY PASSION
Opticians since 1942
We were born with a passion for the world of optics and photography. From our founding to the present day, we have maintained our philosophy: to ensure maximum visual comfort and well-being. Thanks to our high and established experience in the optical industry, we select the best eyewear, in various conditions of use, and when necessary we subject them to a thorough regeneration process.

the reality behind market vision
Formenti Optics
Our passion for vintage eyewear led us to offer our products online, but behind us we have a historic store located in Mestre, in the town of Venice. Ottica Formenti is a reference point in the sale of optical products of the highest quality, from the best brands on the market. In addition, we employ a staff specialized in providing optical services for the well-being and health of the public.
Ottica Formenti Official Eyewear Dealer Cartier
Our boutique Formenti Optics has the privilege of being an official Cartier dealer. A 30-year partnership founded on the pursuit of excellence and the sharing of timeless values. It was 1992 when we embarked on a journey into the world of luxury by becoming an Authorized Cartier Dealer. Since then, we have seen the collections evolve, but the excitement of having our customers wear a ‘jewel for the eyes’ has remained the same. For over 30 years, we have been bringing Parisian elegance to the heart of Mestre, guaranteeing authenticity and the bespoke service that only long experience can provide. Choosing Cartier eyewear at our center means putting your trust in someone who has been deeply familiar with the Maison’s design and craftsmanship for more than three decades.
In our atelier, eyewear is not just a visual tool, but an expression of personality and style. For this reason, our selection houses exclusively the leading international fashion brands, chosen for the quality of materials and originality of design.
The flagship of our proposal is the prestigious partnership with Cartier, of which we are Concessionaires Ufficials since 1992. This more than 30-year collaboration allows us to offer our customers iconic pieces and exclusive collections from the Maison, ensuring a buying experience based on a deep understanding of the product and its craftsmanship value.
Alongside the timeless elegance of Cartier, you will find the latest from the big names in luxury and glamour.
Come and find out how beyond 50 years of experience in the luxury industry can help you find the perfect frame for your eyes.

We regenerate vintage glasses
In our optical workshop-workshop, we restore and refurbish vintage eyeglasses with expertise and skill thanks to a lot of experience and an array of state-of-the-art professional equipment: ultrasonic cleaning machines, hinge pressing machines with hot or punch presses, welding machines, milling cutters, mini drills, eyeglass trim control benches, screws and small parts for eyeglasses of all kinds.
