About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Western Wake Eye Center and noticed something peculiar coming from inside—a soft humming sound like distant bees. Curious but not alarmed, he parked his truck and peered through the window, only to see rows of silent eye exams machines gently vibrating in unison. The delivery driver shrugged and decided to ignore it, thinking maybe the machines were just warming up. As he walked away, one machine suddenly beeped softly and said, 'Good morning!' Everyone froze—until they realized it was just an old joke programmed into the software. The neighbor later joked that the place should change its name to ‘Talking Eyes.’

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Western Wake Eye Center with a peculiar request. As he adjusted his glasses, he asked the receptionist if they had any special frames for invisible people. The receptionist smiled and replied, 'We do have some very discreet frames in stock.' The old man nodded thoughtfully before whispering, 'Could you please tell them I’ll be coming by later?' With that, he left, leaving everyone in the waiting room scratching their heads. Turns out, he was just picking up his granddaughter's new glasses—she insisted on being invisible for Halloween.

3. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at something in the window of Western Wake Eye Center. Her mother looked closer and saw nothing but a sign for eye exams. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘why does that sign keep moving?’ A delivery driver stopped by later that day and asked what was going on. The mom smiled sheepishly and explained the mystery. Turns out, the wind had blown some tissue paper into the sign’s reflection, creating an illusion of movement. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the strange sign, they’d laugh and say, ‘Ah, just another day at Western Wake Eye Center!’

4. One sunny afternoon, a curious dog followed its owner into Western Wake Eye Center. As they approached the reception desk, everyone noticed the canine staring intently at a framed poster on the wall—its eyes seemed to follow him wherever he moved. Finally, an old lady in the waiting room whispered, ‘That dog’s been here longer than some of our patients!’ The vet emerged with a puzzled look and announced, ‘It seems your pooch is nearsighted today—he’s just reading the sign for the first time.’ Everyone laughed, including the dog, who wagged his tail as if understanding everything perfectly.
