About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the Eyesight Centre one morning, only to discover an old pair of glasses hanging from the rearview mirror. Curious, he brought them inside, thinking they might belong to someone who had left them behind. But as he placed them on the counter, everyone in the shop suddenly started seeing double—including him. After a few moments of confusion, everyone realized that the glasses were actually a prank by a regular customer known for his love of practical jokes. The delivery driver laughed it off and went on his way, while the optician decided to keep the glasses as a reminder not to judge a pair by its frames alone.

2. One afternoon, while customers were browsing through frames at the Eyesight Centre, an elderly gentleman entered the store with a peculiar announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to inform you that your new glasses will arrive exactly when you stop thinking about them.’ Soon enough, everyone in the shop started humming the same tune—‘I’ll stop thinking about my glasses now…’ Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, holding a box labeled ‘Eyesight Centre’. The old man grinned, ‘See? They arrived as soon as you stopped thinking!’ Everyone laughed, realizing they had fallen for his little trick. From then on, whenever someone mentioned their missing specs, everyone at the centre would smile knowingly.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Eyesight Centre, he noticed something strange: the entire building seemed to hum like a giant tuning fork. Curious, he approached the door and heard a voice inside saying, ‘Next!’ Turning around, he saw no one—just an empty room filled with old spectacle frames. That’s when his colleague called out from outside, asking if he’d seen the new shipment. The driver shook his head, smiled, and said, “Nope, I’m good—next!”

4. One quiet morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Eyesight Centre, he noticed something peculiar: a faint humming sound coming from inside the building. It wasn’t like any machinery he’d heard before. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to see an old man trying desperately to adjust his glasses in front of a mirror. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely. The man turned around with a smile and replied, “I’m just testing out their latest model.” He winked and added, “They say it can fix anything you can see!”
