About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Eyes Nouvea to pick up his glasses. As he waited for the optician, he noticed something strange—an old man in the corner seemed to be talking to himself, but whenever anyone approached, he’d quickly stop and pretend to read a newspaper. Finally, a young delivery driver walked over and asked if everything was okay. The old man smiled sheepishly, folded up his paper, and whispered, 'Just practicing my new French accent.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the elderly gentleman who left with a twinkle in his eye. "Eyes Nouvea" indeed.
2. While waiting for her prescription, a neighbor remarked to the optometrist, ‘I bet you’ve seen some interesting things through those lenses!’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, I once caught a fly trying to adjust someone’s bifocals.’ Another time, an elderly gentleman came in with his pet parrot perched on his shoulder. As he was adjusting the bird's vision aid, the optometrist overheard him say, 'Now, Mr. Polly, don't you think you'll see the world more clearly now?' Everyone burst out laughing, including the little feathered friend who seemed quite pleased with himself.
3. At dawn, while delivering new frames, a sleepy-eyed trucker noticed a sign taped to the door of Eyes Nouvea: ‘Today’s Specials: Perfect Vision—$99!’ The trucker laughed and thought, ‘Who knows what they’ll come up with next?’ He drove on, leaving behind another day in the mysterious world of Eyes Nouvea. Later that week, a regular customer joked, “I wonder if today’s special is ‘Binocular Vision’ for only $149!” Everyone chuckled, knowing full well it was just another quirky tale from their neighborhood optician.
4. At dusk, when most shops were closing their doors, a young woman walked into Eyes Nouvea with a peculiar request. "Can you help me choose lenses that will make my eyes look bigger?" she asked, glancing nervously around. The owner, Mr. Chen, smiled knowingly and pulled out a pair of lenses with intricate patterns. ‘These,’ he whispered, ‘will do wonders for your gaze.’ The woman tried them on, and indeed her eyes seemed larger than ever before. As she left, Mr. Chen winked at her reflection in the mirror and muttered, 'Just remember, darling, not everyone needs glasses to see through you!'
