Founded in 1989 by Christopher K. McWhorter and his wife, Hope McWhorter, Christopher Optical began as a modest optical practice. The McWhorter family’s journey into the optical industry began even earlier, when Christopher K. McWhorter learned the trade from his father, the original owner of Southern Optical in Nashville. With a deep understanding of craftsmanship and a dedication to providing the highest level of customer care, Christopher K. McWhorter established Christopher Optical with the same commitment to quality that his father had instilled in him.

For over three decades, Christopher Optical became known not only for its high-quality eyewear but also for its personalized approach to service. Under Christopher K. McWhorter’s leadership, the practice thrived, building a strong reputation in Williamson and Maury counties for its dedication to custom eyewear and customer satisfaction.
