About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the staff, ‘Why does every new pair of glasses here seem to come with its own little mystery?’ A delivery driver then confessed that he’d been leaving tiny notes inside each pair—praising customers’ style or teasing them gently about their choice of frames. The staff had kept it secret, adding just enough mystery to make everyone smile.

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading frames, he noticed something peculiar: a small dog kept sniffing and staring curiously at the boxes of lenses. No matter how many times he tried to shoo it away, the little pooch would return, its big eyes fixed on the colorful spectacle cases. Finally, one day, an old lady walked in, complaining that her new glasses were too heavy. The delivery driver recognized her as the owner of the curious canine and joked, ‘Ma’am, maybe your dog knows better than you do!’ Turns out, she had ordered them online without trying them on first.

3. One afternoon, a curious customer asked the receptionist, ‘Why do all our patients leave with a free pen?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Well, it seems that Dr. Swagel has a secret love for pens!' A few days later, an enthusiastic delivery driver remarked, “I got another pen today!” To which his neighbor joked, “Guess you’re getting better vision then!” And so, the legend of the free pens continued, leaving everyone with a smile—and maybe just one more pen in their pocket.

4. One day, a delivery driver asked the receptionist, ‘Why are there always so many pairs of old spectacles in the bin?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘They’re not just any old glasses—those are prototypes for our latest designs. We test them here first before they hit the shelves.’ The delivery driver nodded wisely, thinking he’d solved the mystery, until his own prescription was lost among the bins.
