Near the T1 boarding gates, Aeroótica covers last‑minute eyewear needs.
This standalone optics shop in Terminal 1 sits airside, useful if you crack frames or lose sunglasses before a Brasília departure. Stock leans to prescription frames, readers, and sun options you can use immediately on a long GOL or LATAM flight. Staff usually manage basic adjustments and quick fixes on the spot, which beats hunting for a mall in Lago Sul when you land.
Aeroótica keeps airport hours that track T1 traffic, generally opening early for 06:00 departures and staying open into the late evening bank. Prices run higher than city stores in Asa Sul or Águas Claras, but that’s the trade for airport-side service. Expect mainstream Brazilian and international brands rather than luxury showpieces, with some budget lines for simple readers or emergency sunglasses.
If you need a repair, bring the actual frames to the counter; they can often tighten screws or straighten arms in a few minutes while you watch the nearby gate screens. Don’t expect full eye exams or complex lens work here, though they may help you read prescriptions and choose replacement frames. For anything custom, plan on a city optician after you leave BSB.
Tip: stop at Aeroótica before you clear security for your final domestic hop if you’re tight on time; once you walk past your T1 gate area in Brasília, you won’t want to double back for a missing pair of glasses.
