About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Visionworks’ quiet backroom, an old pair of glasses caught a regular’s eye one morning. They weren’t for sale—just sitting there, as if waiting for someone. The regular picked them up and tried them on, only to hear a soft click—and suddenly his glasses were gone! The old frames had been a clever disguise for a hidden camera. Turned out Visionworks was testing augmented reality fitting software. Everyone got a good laugh, especially when the delivery driver appeared in virtual mustaches.

2. In Visionworks’ dimly lit hallway, a strange humming sound started late every afternoon. At first, no one paid attention—it was just another busy day. But soon enough, even the most casual visitor noticed the rhythmic buzzing growing louder with each passing hour. One day, an elderly neighbor popped in curiously and asked what that noise was all about. Turned out it was just the new intern’s glasses adjusting themselves to his desk lamp. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the poor intern who now had to wear earmuffs while working.

3. In Visionworks’ dusty storeroom, a small dog named Max kept appearing out of nowhere whenever new frames arrived. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his annual check-up. As he tried on a pair of vintage spectacles, Max darted from behind the counter and jumped onto his lap. Startled, the old man exclaimed, ‘Max, you’re everywhere today!’ The staff laughed as they watched him chase the little dog around the store, eventually ending up with both of them laughing together over a mismatched pair of frames.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Visionworks. A shadowy figure in a trench coat seemed to be leaving the building, but there was no door open. Curious, he followed the shadow and found an unlocked window ajar. Inside, amidst scattered frames and half-assembled glasses, sat an old man dozing off with a pair of spectacles on his nose. Turned out, it was just a regular who’d forgotten his keys and spent the night waiting for someone to notice him. The end—with a free cleaning service thrown in.
