About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered EyeTech wearing a large umbrella and carrying a small suitcase. The optician raised an eyebrow as he adjusted his glasses, but said nothing. Over the next few weeks, more customers began arriving with umbrellas of various sizes—some even brought rain boots. Finally, one day a delivery driver arrived soaking wet, clutching a massive umbrella. ‘I’m here for my new glasses,’ he grinned, “and I think I left my old ones in your store!” The optician smiled knowingly, pulling out a dozen umbrellas from under the counter. 'Welcome to EyeTech,' he chuckled. 'Where every customer brings their own weather!'}
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to EyeTech with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. The optician’s sign blinked on and off like a mischievous wink. Inside, the optician found not high-tech goggles but a pair of mismatched spectacles—one lens was foggy as an old window pane, while the other sparkled like a disco ball. Confused, he put them on and suddenly saw his reflection smiling back, wearing another pair of glasses that seemed to belong to his next-door neighbor. He laughed out loud, realizing it must be some prank from a regular customer, and decided to keep both pairs for future customers who might appreciate a little optical mirth.
3. At closing time, an irate customer stormed into EyeTech, yelling, ‘I demand my money back!’ The clerk asked calmly, ‘Why sir?’ He replied, pointing dramatically, ‘Because I can see perfectly well now!’ The clerk smiled gently and said, ‘Sir, that’s exactly what happens when you get new glasses—your vision improves.’ The man paused, rubbed his eyes, then sheepishly admitted, ‘Well, maybe I should’ve tried them on first…’
4. A curious neighborhood cat began visiting EyeTech every afternoon, sitting patiently outside until someone emerged with their prescription glasses. One day, a delivery driver arrived carrying a giant box marked ‘Top Secret’. The cat pounced on him, meowing excitedly. After much confusion, it turned out the box contained just another pair of oversized reading glasses for an elderly neighbour. The cat, now famous in the area, continued its daily routine, never suspecting it was the star of countless local stories.
