About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while an old lady was trying on glasses at Oakley, her little granddaughter whispered excitedly, ‘Grandma, why does that mirror make your nose look like a unicorn horn?’ The grandmother laughed and said, ‘Oh, darling, it’s just a trick of light!’ Suddenly, the optician smiled and added, ‘And you know what? Your nose looks perfect whether it’s a horn or not.’ The pair left Oakley with new glasses—and a story to tell for years to come.

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Oakley one morning, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering behind him. Turning around, he saw nothing but empty shelves and quiet glasses cases. Curious, he waited for another sound—but all was still. The next day, when unloading his boxes, he noticed that everything was neatly arranged in alphabetical order. Smiling, he shrugged it off as just another quirky habit of the neighborhood optician.

3. In the quiet corner of Oakley, where glasses are carefully polished and frames whisper secrets, a curious child once pointed and asked, ‘Mama, why do these boxes move?’ The old optician smiled and explained gently, 'Those aren't moving, darling—they're just reflections from the polished lenses.' The child nodded wisely, satisfied with the answer, while a nearby delivery driver whispered to his colleague, 'I tell you what, those glasses must be magic!'

4. In the quiet corner of Oakley, where glasses are carefully polished and frames whisper secrets, a curious puppy once appeared out of nowhere. Each afternoon, just as customers were settling in for their fitting sessions, the tiny canine would saunter through the door, sniffing curiously around the display cases. One day, an elderly gentleman entered carrying a large box. ‘Just my lucky day,’ said the puppy, bounding over to investigate. Turned out it was a new shipment of frames—apparently, our furry friend had a knack for spotting deliveries! From then on, whenever anyone came with a package, the puppy would run excitedly, leading them straight to the back room.
