About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a mysterious box. As he walked into Visionworks, an old regular noticed something odd about its shape. The old regular leaned closer and whispered, ‘I’ve seen that same shape before—must be their new display model!’ The delivery guy smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Actually, it’s just our latest optical software.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the joke on themselves.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Visionworks wearing a large, old-fashioned hat and carrying a small envelope sealed with wax. Without saying a word, he approached the counter and placed it on the desk. The optician picked up the envelope curiously, only to hear a soft voice over the intercom: ‘Please check inside carefully.’ The optician carefully broke the seal and opened the envelope. Inside was another smaller envelope, which contained yet another one… and so on until they found a tiny note reading: 'Dear Sir, please adjust my prescription.' Turns out, the old gentleman had forgotten his glasses were already fixed.

3. In Visionworks, a customer asked, ‘Do you sell glasses that make me see the future?’ The optician smiled and replied, ‘We only deal in lenses here.’ But ever since then, some customers swear they’ve seen strange reflections in their new frames.' One day, a delivery driver came in complaining he saw his route for next week in his new specs. The optician just laughed and said, 'That’s our special fog-resistant coating!' Since then, whenever anyone spots something unusual, they wink knowingly and say, 'Must be those Visionworks lenses again.'

4. A curious woman stopped by Visionworks one afternoon, clutching her phone as if it were a treasure map. She whispered to herself, 'I think I saw something strange here last night...' As she peered around the shelves, an old pair of glasses caught her eye—with a note attached: ‘Found you!’ Turned out, it was just a delivery driver joking with her. With a smile, she left, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll look twice before whispering in a shop.’
