About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time, an old man in a tweed jacket walked into BA Eye Site and asked for his usual pair of reading glasses. The optician raised an eyebrow when he noticed that the frames were slightly different each week—never quite the same style or color. Finally, one day the optician decided to ask the old man why he kept changing his mind. With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman replied, ‘I’m trying out all the styles before I retire next month.’ The optician laughed and said, ‘You’ve been coming here for twenty years—you’re already retired!’
2. One morning, a delivery driver parked outside BA Eye Site and noticed something odd on the store’s sign: ‘Free glasses for first customer with perfect sense of humour.’ Curious, he entered—and never left. Inside, there was an old man behind the counter who greeted him warmly: 'Welcome to our little experiment!' The delivery driver laughed so hard that he forgot why he came in the first place. From then on, BA Eye Site became known as the place where customers traded their sense of humour for stylish frames—even if they didn’t realize it until much later.
3. One day, while trying on new glasses, a regular exclaimed, ‘I feel like I’m seeing double!’ And sure enough, when he looked up, there were two of everything—including himself. Embarrassed and confused, the regular stumbled over to the mirror, only to see another customer laughing hysterically next to him. Turns out it was just an optical illusion caused by his new frames. The whole place erupted in laughter as everyone realized they’d been fooled too. From then on, BA Eye Site became known for its quirky humor and friendly staff.
4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside BA Eye Site and swore he heard someone whispering behind the closed door. Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw only empty shelves. Just as he turned away, though, he thought he caught a glimpse of an old man adjusting glasses in the backroom. The next day, everyone in town received a package with their prescription lenses—compliments of BA Eye Site and a mysterious ‘regular’ customer.’
