About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Midwest Eye Consultants and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever notice how everyone here seems to be wearing glasses that are exactly one size too small?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, it's quite funny, isn't it? We often joke that our patients have a bit of a vision thing going on!' The old man nodded knowingly, then left with a new pair of frames that were just right for him. As he walked out, someone behind the counter whispered, 'I bet that's why they call him Old Vision.'

2. One day, while a young optometrist was adjusting lenses in Midwest Eye Consultants, a faint humming sound began drifting through the store. At first, it was ignored as background noise, but soon customers started noticing—a soft, almost soothing melody that seemed to come from nowhere. Soon enough, the hum grew louder and more distinct, until an elderly gentleman entered carrying his glasses case. He smiled knowingly and said, 'Ah, Midwest Eye Consultants' secret music has finally found us!' Turns out he had heard similar sounds in other towns where he'd visited opticians—apparently, it was just their special way of welcoming customers. The end result? Everyone left with a smile—and maybe even humming a little tune on their way home.

3. One afternoon, a small child walked into Midwest Eye Consultants and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. When asked what he saw, he replied, 'Mommy, why is that lady winking at us?' The optician looked up, squinted, and shook his head. ‘That’s just Mrs. Johnson,’ he said with a smile. ‘She’s been doing it since she got her new glasses last week.’ The little boy giggled, and his mom laughed along, relieved. As they left, the optician turned to another customer, saying, “And don’t worry, Mr. Smith—Mrs. Johnson only waves to our morning customers.”

4. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Midwest Eye Consultants, he noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw rows of glasses quietly glowing in the dark. As he watched, one pair of spectacles gently rotated and pointed towards him, as if trying to communicate. Startled, the driver quickly drove away, but ever since then, locals claim that Midwest Eye Consultants is home to sentient eyeglasses with a mind of their own.
