About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Colorado Springs, near the quiet entrance of the eye clinic, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he parked his car, his young daughter pointed excitedly out the window. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that strange light!’ The doctor peered curiously and saw nothing but an ordinary street sign—until he realized it seemed to shift ever so slightly. The doctor rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe he was seeing things. Then another patient, a delivery driver, walked in complaining about a ‘weird glow’ from outside. They all stood together, trying to figure it out, until finally someone suggested, ‘Maybe it’s just the reflection off your glasses?’ Everyone laughed, realizing they were all wearing their reading specs. The end.

2. In Colorado Springs, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the eye clinic’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard an odd clicking sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw nothing but darkened rooms—until a pair of glasses on the desk began blinking in time with the noise. The delivery driver blinked twice, thinking it was some sort of trick played by his tired eyes. Then, just as suddenly as they started, the glasses stopped blinking. A voice whispered softly behind him, ‘Excuse me, can you help me find my other half?’ Turning around, he saw only empty rooms—and a slightly amused look on the face of a nearby nurse.

3. In Colorado Springs, an elderly gentleman regularly visited the Eye Clinic for check-ups. One morning, as he waited in the lobby, the receptionist announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our optometrist has temporarily switched eyes.' The old man chuckled to himself, thinking it was some sort of newfangled joke. When his turn finally came, the doctor asked him if he’d heard the news. ‘No,’ replied the gentleman, curious now. The doctor smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got both eyes on today.”

4. In Colorado Springs, early in the morning, a janitor was mopping floors outside the Eye Clinic when he heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old delivery driver fumbling with his glasses case. Turns out, every time he closed it, it made that clicking noise like tiny little footsteps. The janitor laughed so hard he almost dropped his mop, but then realized he’d better clean up before anyone noticed him grinning like a fool.
