About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Martin Eye Clinic, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ says the voice, ‘if you see a small purple pony wandering around the waiting room, please do not panic—it’s just our new receptionist’s pet.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. When asked what it contained, he replied, ‘Just some special contact lenses for the pony.’ The clinic staff looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to work—after all, here at Martin Eye Clinic, nothing surprises us anymore.

2. At Martin Eye Clinic, every night around midnight, employees hear faint footsteps echoing through empty corridors. No one is supposed to be there after hours, yet someone—or something—keeps leaving tiny pairs of glasses on receptionist’s desk. One night, a delivery driver left an extra pair of glasses with his signature note: ‘Hope these fit!’ The next morning, everyone laughed—it was his own specs he’d accidentally dropped.

3. At Martin Eye Clinic, a delivery driver once left a package on the loading dock that looked like a large box of contact lenses, but when opened, it contained nothing but tiny pairs of socks. It turned out that a neighbor had ordered some unusual socks online and accidentally marked the wrong address. When the staff at Martin Eye Clinic saw the miniature socks, they couldn’t help laughing and decided to keep them as a quirky office decoration.

4. At Martin Eye Clinic, a sign outside reads ‘Closed for Lunch,’ but no one knows whose lunch it is. Inside, an old man in glasses whispers to anyone who’ll listen that he once saw a ghostly figure ordering contacts during the lunch hour. No one believes him until one day, when a delivery driver asks for his usual coffee and newspaper—delivered from exactly 12:03 to 12:08 every weekday.
