About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while adjusting someone’s glasses, an old man in Simpson Optical asked curiously: ‘Do you ever notice how our customers seem to leave here with different colored eyes?’ Curious, I looked around and saw nothing unusual. The old man then winked and said, 'Maybe they’re just trying on a new pair of specs from another dimension!' Turns out he was just teasing—everyone left with their original eye color.
2. While trying on new frames one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I feel like these glasses make my nose look like Abraham Lincoln!’ The salesperson smiled and replied, ‘Maybe they’re just highlighting your inner wisdom.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, proclaiming, 'These lenses make it seem like I’m always looking right through people!' The optician laughed and said, ‘Maybe you see straight to their souls.’
3. While selecting new lenses one day, a customer wondered aloud, 'Do you think my eyes can see better than the guy who installed that ceiling?' The optician smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, your eyes might be sharper today, but I’m pretty sure he was using a ladder!’ The customer laughed heartily, realizing his joke, while the optician continued adjusting his frames with practiced ease.
4. While selecting new lenses one day, a customer exclaimed, ‘I can see Russia from here!’ Upon closer inspection, it turned out he was seeing through the lens coating—a special anti-glare treatment that made distant objects appear slightly shifted. The optician smiled and said, 'Welcome to Simpson Optical, where you might just glimpse Moscow on your next eye exam!'
