About Optik und Hörgeräte Grünwald

Optik und Hörgeräte Grünwald is a specialist shop for optics and hearing aids at Josefsplatz 12 in Baden, with its own in-house workshop. The business is run by Gernot Grünwald in the third generation; it was founded in 1937.

A Baden family history

Julius Grünwald opened the shop in 1937 on Rainerring, and in 1951 it moved to Josefsplatz, where the shop and workshop are still located today. From 1968 to 1975 the founder was national guild master of the opticians. His son Herbert Grünwald took over the management in 1968, and today his grandson Gernot Grünwald heads the company.

All about seeing

• Glasses: distance and reading glasses, varifocals, computer and workplace glasses, driving, sports and sunglasses, plus magnifying visual aids.
• Measurement: Rodenstock's DNEye scanner measures the eye at a very large number of points, and the lenses are made from the data. Branded lenses, for example from Zeiss and Rodenstock, are used and edged in the shop's own workshop.
• Contact lenses: standard lenses and custom-made lenses, including care products.
• Short-sighted children: MiyoSmart spectacle lenses as well as Ortho-K night lenses and ProAssist day lenses are intended to slow the progression of short-sightedness. According to the shop, care is provided in consultation with ophthalmologists.

All about hearing

The shop offers hearing tests and hearing aids from various manufacturers. Hearing protection is made from an impression of the ear, for example as swimming protection for children, against noise at work, on a motorbike or for sleeping. For people for whom a hearing aid alone is not enough, Grünwald stocks telephone amplifiers, special telephone systems and wireless headphones for watching TV.

Guarantees and appointments

For branded spectacle lenses Grünwald gives a tolerance guarantee: if you do not get used to the lens type within six months, you receive another pair of lenses with the same values. Once a year the shop invites customers to a free glasses service. Appointments can be booked online.
