About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while an old lady was browsing through Visionworks, she noticed something strange: every time a delivery driver approached the door, her small dog started barking wildly, even though no one else seemed to hear anything. Finally, after much confusion and laughter, it turned out that the delivery guy had a tiny bell on his bike that only the little dog could hear. The old lady ended up buying new glasses for both herself and the canny canine, who now proudly wore a matching scarf from Visionworks.

2. A little girl entered Visionworks with her mother and stopped dead in her tracks. Pointing excitedly, she whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that man’s eye keep changing colors?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, he’s just an optician trying on different colored lenses for a display.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the man and asked, ‘Can I try one too?’ Everyone laughed as the optician shook his head and said, ‘Not today, sweetie—maybe next time!’

3. At noon one day, as customers were browsing through Visionworks, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our latest batch of eyeglass frames has been imported from outer space.’ A puzzled silence followed before a regular piped up, ‘Well, if they’re from outer space, maybe they’ll fix my astigmatism with just one look!’ Soon everyone was laughing, and the intercom crackled again: ‘Attention, Earthlings! Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to import more space frames tomorrow.’ A delivery driver later admitted sheepishly, ‘Actually, I think I mixed up the packages with those guys from the sci-fi convention next door.’ The end.

4. While trying on new glasses at Visionworks, a customer exclaimed, ‘I feel like I’m seeing double!’ The salesperson smiled and replied, “That’s because you are.” A delivery driver popped in for his prescription and asked if everything was alright. The salesperson winked and said, ‘He’s just getting used to his new look—now he looks like Santa Claus!’ Everyone laughed, including the befuddled driver who later found out his frames were slightly mismatched.
