About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman walked into Lexington Eye Associates with a curious item in hand. As he approached the reception desk, he asked the nurse if they had seen the strange object left on the parking lot yesterday. Curious staff members peered out and saw something odd indeed—a large, misshapen eyeball, complete with a price tag reading ‘$9.99’. The nurse called Dr. Thompson, who happened to be nearby. With a twinkle in his eye, he said it was likely just a prop from a local theater group or maybe even a prank from a friendly neighborhood optometrist. After examining the eyeball under his microscope, he declared it harmless—just a big, rubbery toy. The old man paid his bill, shook hands with everyone, and joked that next time he’d bring them a real one for free. And so, Lexington Eye Associates learned that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Lexington Eye Associates one morning, noticing something odd in the back of his truck. Curious, he opened the door and found a small, dusty box labeled ‘Optical Oddities.’ Inside were pairs of mismatched glasses, each with a unique story etched on the frames. None of them seemed to belong to any recent deliveries. The delivery driver shrugged and decided to keep it as a surprise for someone. Later that day, while adjusting his own glasses, he noticed they felt slightly off. Peering into a mirror, he realized these weren’t even his—an old pair from high school! With a laugh, he popped into Lexington Eye Associates, where an amused receptionist asked if he’d found some ‘optical oddities’ of his own.

3. A young intern at Lexington Eye Associates looked up from her desk and said, ‘I can’t believe I just saw that!’ She leaned closer, whispering, ‘Did you see that old man walking in? He had his glasses on backwards!’ They both burst out laughing as another intern walked in, muttering under his breath about needing new reading glasses.

4. One day, a curious little girl followed her mom into Lexington Eye Associates. As she waited for them in the lobby, she pointed excitedly at a strange shadow on the wall. "Mommy, what's that funny dancing man doing there?" The doctor chuckled and explained it was just an old poster of a dancer used to entertain patients. The little girl giggled, relieved, and settled down for her check-up. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ‘the dancing man,’ everyone knew exactly where they were—Lexington Eye Associates.
