About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames into Visionworks, he noticed something strange: every time he placed a box on the counter, it emitted a soft humming sound like distant bees. The optician shrugged it off as an oddity of the day, but soon neighbors began reporting hearing the same eerie noise whenever they passed by. Finally, the owner hired a repairman who fixed the humming boxes with some mysterious powder. From then on, whenever someone visited Visionworks, they’d hear not only glasses clicking but also a faint buzzing—like tiny bees saying, ‘See you again!’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver was unpacking new lenses into Visionworks, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the display case. Curious, he followed the noise and found himself staring at an old pair of spectacles that seemed to glow softly in the dark. Suddenly, the frames twirled around like tiny helicopter blades and hovered towards him. Startled, the driver jumped back, knocking over a box of frames—only for them to rearrange themselves into a perfect pyramid on the counter. Shaking his head, he decided it must’ve been a trick of the light and went home, promising never to visit again after hours. But everyone knows he sneaks back every full moon anyway.

3. At dawn, when most shops were still closed, an early bird customer entered Visionworks and asked for polarized contacts that could see through fog. The optometrist raised an eyebrow but obliged, pulling out a mysterious box from under the counter. After a few moments of fiddling with lenses and whispers of ‘never seen anything like it,’ he handed over a pair of glasses that seemed more suited for interstellar travel than everyday use. The customer tried them on, peered around suspiciously, then exclaimed, 'Works perfectly!' before disappearing into the pre-dawn mist.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside Visionworks, a delivery driver found himself delivering contact solution that seemed to glow faintly in the dark. Curious, he opened the box and peered inside—nothing unusual there. But as he walked back to his truck, he noticed something odd: the bottle’s label appeared to change color slightly under streetlights. Shrugging it off, he drove home, only for his neighbor to comment next morning on how brightly the store lit up the night sky. Turns out, the glowing was just an optical illusion caused by the new LED packaging.
