America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with an unusual package. As he unloaded crates of lenses and frames, he noticed something odd in the corner of the van—a small box wrapped in brown paper. Curious neighbors passing by later spotted it sitting untouched on the store’s front counter. Curious, a neighbor approached the counter and asked if anyone knew what was inside. A store clerk shrugged and said, 'Just another pair of glasses, I guess.' The neighbor picked up the box and exclaimed, ‘It feels like a teddy bear!’ Turns out, it was a prototype of a new line of eyeglass frames shaped like plush animals—America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses’ most successful product launch ever.

2. A curious old lady stopped by every week to pick up her glasses. One day, as she left the shop, she noticed something strange: her reflection in the storefront window seemed to wink back at her. She mentioned it to the owner, who chuckled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson across the street—he likes to wave at everyone.’ The next time she came in for new lenses, she asked if he could stop winking at her. To this, the optician replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I’ll see what I can do!’

3. One day, a customer asked the optician: ‘Why do my new glasses make everything look like it’s moving?’ The staff just smiled and replied: ‘That’s because they were delivered by a very enthusiastic mailman.’ The optician laughed gently and explained, ‘Actually, those are not your glasses’—he pointed towards the door where an embarrassed delivery driver was waving goodbye with a box full of misplaced orders. Turns out, everyone in town now has someone else’s prescription, but no one seems too upset… yet.’

4. One morning, as customers were browsing through frames, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: 'Attention please—your new lenses may cause temporary hallucinations.' A delivery driver, adjusting his new glasses, swore he saw a unicorn grazing outside the window. The next day, everyone came in asking for ‘unicorn vision.’ Meanwhile, a regular customer insisted that his improved eyesight allowed him to read the fine print on his coffee cup—and won a free drink.
