About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man walked into Memorial Eye Center and asked for a pair of glasses with very specific prescriptions. The optometrist raised an eyebrow when he noticed that every time the man blinked, his pupils changed color—first blue, then green, then brown. "I’ve never seen anything like it," whispered the doctor as the man calmly replied, 'It’s my little secret.' Finally, the optometrist shrugged and said, ‘Well, I guess you’ll just have to come back if your eyes change again.’ The old man smiled and left, leaving behind only a faint whiff of mystery—and maybe some drops of colored tears on the counter.

2. A curious delivery driver pulled up to Memorial Eye Center one afternoon, carrying a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he approached the entrance, he noticed an odd reflection in the window—a pair of eyes following him from inside. Finally, the delivery driver cautiously opened the box and found… a pair of old spectacles. He laughed, thinking it was some prank, when a voice behind said, 'Thanks for delivering these specs on time!' Turned out, it was just a friendly optometrist with a sense of humor.

3. A concerned neighbor stopped by Memorial Eye Center one evening and asked, ‘Do you guys ever see ghostly figures in the operating room?’ The doctor smiled and replied, 'Only when our new intern looks into a patient's eye!' The neighbor laughed heartily, realizing it was just another day at the office for them.

4. A puzzled patient exclaimed, 'Doc, I came here for glasses, not a telescope!' The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, with your eyesight, you could probably see through walls—maybe even into the future!’ A relieved laugh filled the room as the confused patient left, now armed with both corrective lenses and a newfound sense of humor.
