About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At For Eyes, an optician shop in downtown Chicago, customers often noticed something peculiar when they visited after dark. A young boy, playing outside one evening, stopped mid-run and stared wide-eyed into the window. Inside, the mannequins of glasses seemed to shift slightly, as if adjusting themselves ever so gently. One night, a delivery driver passing by thought it was just his tired eyes playing tricks on him. But nope—when he looked closer, he swore those frames were winking back at him! Turns out, the owner had accidentally left the display lights on too low, creating eerie shadows that made everything look alive. Since then, locals joke that For Eyes is haunted by its own inventory.
2. At For Eyes, an optician shop in downtown New York, one day a curious pigeon landed on the counter and started pecking at a new display of glasses. Employees watched in amusement as it tried on different frames, cocking its head like a fashionista. Finally, the bird picked up a pair of stylish aviator shades and strutted out, leaving everyone laughing. A delivery driver commented, ‘Guess that pigeon’s got better vision than most!’
3. At For Eyes, an optician shop in Boston’s bustling neighborhood, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, why do these glasses change colors when I look at them?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, those are special lenses that adapt to light.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to her mom with wide eyes: 'So if I wear these, can I see in the dark like Batman?' The whole place burst into laughter—except for one delivery driver who kept squinting through his own old-fashioned frames.
4. At For Eyes, an optician shop in San Francisco's busy district, a delivery driver once found himself with more than just glasses on his hands. Upon arriving for a routine delivery, he spotted an unusual item nestled among the boxes—an old, dusty telescope hidden behind the counter. Curious, he picked it up and aimed it out the window. To his surprise, it zoomed right past the building next door, narrowly missing a neighbor’s cat. The whole street burst into laughter as the cat scurried away, while the delivery guy frantically tried to explain that it was ‘just a little optical malfunction.’
