About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know why they say that if you close one eye here, your other eye opens wider?’ The receptionist smiled and whispered conspiratorially, 'Because when you close one eye, it’s time for a second opinion!' The old man laughed heartily and left, muttering something about never taking anything too seriously.'

2. While waiting for his appointment one afternoon, a regular patient noticed something unusual on the wall behind the receptionist’s desk. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, pointing up. ‘Is that a new painting or just another pair of eyes staring back at us?’ The receptionist smiled and leaned over the counter. 'Oh no,' she replied casually, 'that's just Dr. Smith’s latest pair of eye sculptures.' A moment later, a delivery driver approached the desk with a box. He glanced up curiously and asked, 'Are those always there?' The receptionist nodded nonchalantly. 'Yup, they change them every few months.' As the patient left, he turned to his friend outside and whispered, “I guess I’ll never know if it was really an art installation or just someone staring at me from behind the reception.”

3. In the quiet hallway of Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston, a small dog appeared out of nowhere. It trotted past startled patients, sniffing curiously at each door until it paused outside the office of Dr. Spector. The dog peered inside and saw Dr. Spector deep in concentration, adjusting some tiny instrument. With a mischievous wag, the pooch nudged an open box on the table, sending a pile of tissues flying into the air like confetti. Startled, Dr. Spector looked up, grinned, and said, 'Another volunteer for our canine eye exam program?'

4. In the cluttered hallway of Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston, a delivery driver paused mid-step when he spotted a peculiar item in the recycling bin: a vintage pair of glasses with a handwritten note attached, reading ‘Free Vision Checkup.’ Curious, he picked up the glasses and noticed they were slightly scratched but still functional. Deciding it was worth a shot, he visited the clinic later that day. The doctor gave him a free check-up, which turned out to be an elaborate marketing stunt. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he realized: 'Now I know why my neighbor always orders takeout after visiting here!'
