Keeble Eye Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Keeble Eye Care, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s special is…’ But lately, it’s not just any old frames or lenses being offered. Instead, the voice drones on about something entirely unexpected—like free coffee for customers who wear their glasses backward. One day, a delivery driver arrived wearing his glasses upside down—and got two cups of espresso gratis! Word spread quickly among locals, turning Keeble Eye Care into a quirky neighborhood hangout. Even now, when someone asks why they keep coming back, they simply shrug and say, 'Why not? It beats waiting in line somewhere else!'

2. A delivery driver arrived early one Monday, carrying boxes of new frames. As he opened the door, he noticed something odd—everyone in the waiting room had their eyes closed and were humming softly. Curious, he approached a woman who looked familiar. ‘What’s going on here?’ she whispered back, her eyes still shut. Turning around, he saw his own reflection in the mirror behind him—his eyes were closed too! After a moment of confusion, everyone slowly opened their eyes and burst out laughing. It turned out that an old customer had left a note saying, “Close your eyes when you enter Keeble Eye Care—it helps you see better.”

3. A little girl walked into Keeble Eye Care, holding her teddy bear tightly. Suddenly, she stopped mid-step and stared up at the ceiling, her eyes wide with wonder. Above her, a small sign read ‘Blink Twice for Help.’ She blinked twice, and an old optician appeared from behind a curtain, asking what was wrong. With a giggle, she pointed upward, whispering, 'I see fairies!' The optician smiled knowingly and said, 'Ah, well then, you must be nearsighted indeed.'

4. At Keeble Eye Care, there’s a sign above the door that reads: ‘We see clearly what others miss.’ But no one ever mentions the ghostly figure they claim to spot in the old receptionist’s chair after hours. One evening, an anxious adelphi student popped in for glasses before exams. The next day she announced she saw clearer than ever—until she realized her new lenses were just the old receptionist’s spectacles left on the desk overnight.
