Cary Vision Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Cary Vision Care, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he walked past the reception desk, his dog suddenly began barking furiously at an empty chair. The owner looked around curiously but saw no one. The next day, another customer—a delivery driver—entered the same hallway and heard the chair growling like it was alive. Thinking quickly, he pretended to drop something behind him, causing the ‘monster’ to leap out in surprise. Turns out, it was just a stray cat that had taken up residence under the receptionist’s desk.

2. At night, when Cary Vision Care closed its doors, an odd voice began whispering over the intercom: ‘Your glasses are ready… but only if you can find them again.’ One day, a delivery driver came in complaining he couldn’t find his glasses anywhere. The voice on the intercom said calmly, 'They’re right here on your head.' Turns out, he was wearing them backwards the whole time. Since then, whenever someone loses something, they just ask for help from the invisible clerk.

3. In a dusty corner of Cary Vision Care's storage room, a curious pair of glasses caught a delivery driver’s eye one foggy morning. They seemed to sparkle with an unseen light, as if they held some mysterious power. Curious, he picked them up and noticed that whenever he looked through the lenses, his reflection appeared slightly younger—maybe ten years or so. A regular customer passing by asked him what he was doing, and when he explained, she laughed and said, ‘Those must be my grandma’s old specs! She always used to say they made her look twenty years younger.’ The story became a local joke among customers, but no one ever claimed those magical glasses again.

4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver parked outside Cary Vision Care, he caught a strange whiff from inside—a scent like freshly brewed coffee mixed with old books. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an elderly gentleman adjusting glasses on a mannequin’s nose. The old guy turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Would you like a cup of our special blend? It helps customers relax while they wait.’ The delivery driver walked away shaking his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll order flowers instead of contacts!’
