About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Visionworks, a new pair of glasses rested on the counter with lenses so clear they seemed to look right through you. A regular picked them up and noticed something odd—inside one lens was an old photograph, faded but recognizable as a smiling couple from another era. He put it back down, puzzled, then looked closer. Another picture appeared in the other lens—a different couple, laughing together. The regular grinned, realizing what he’d found: someone had accidentally left their family photos inside the frames. He took the glasses to the owner himself, explaining the story with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Now that’s vision,’ said the optician, ‘seeing things clearly—and sometimes seeing things that aren’t even there!’

2. At Visionworks, an old poster on the wall suddenly started whispering the names of customers as they walked by. One day, a delivery driver stopped in for his glasses and heard his own name whispered twice before he even entered the store. Turned out it was just the poster greeting him warmly! A regular customer later joked that maybe Visionworks had finally found a way to personalize service—by eavesdropping on conversations outside.

3. At Visionworks, a delivery driver left a box in the loading bay. Inside was a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious employees peered inside only to discover it contained a tiny telescope pointing right at the store's entrance. One employee joked that maybe aliens were trying to contact us,

4. At Visionworks, a little girl entered the store and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that man winking at us?’ The mother looked up, but saw no one. Smiling gently, she replied, 'Honey, it's just an optical illusion.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she realized her mistake. From that day on, whenever they visited Visionworks, she would always ask if the man was going to wink again.
