About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell glasses that can see through walls?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'No sir, but I do have some new lenses that make everything look a little more colorful!' The old man nodded wisely and left, muttering something about how he could still see right through people anyway.

2. A curious package arrived one day, addressed to no one in particular. As the delivery driver left, a regular noticed something odd—a small, unmarked box sitting on the counter. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up, only to discover... Inside was an old pair of glasses with a note that read: ‘Try these on and see the world differently.’ The regular put them on—and suddenly everything looked upside down but everyone around him seemed incredibly nice. Turns out, they were just a prank from the new optometrist who wanted customers to smile more!’

3. A little girl walked into America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses with her grandmother. She stopped suddenly, pointing at a display case full of colorful frames. ‘Grandma,’ she whispered, ‘why do these glasses look like they’re smiling back at me?’ The grandmother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t really smiling—just reflections in the lenses.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully but then giggled, ‘But Grandma, maybe they ARE smiling because I’m wearing them!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone saw her, they’d say, “Hey, your glasses are smiling today!” — even if they weren’t.

4. A young boy followed his mother into America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, marveling at the colorful display of frames. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at a pair of glasses shaped like a dinosaur. "Mommy, can I get those? They look just like my toy!" But when his mother looked closer, she realized that none of the staff had noticed anything unusual. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if anyone needed help trying on glasses. The boy’s mom quickly replied, ‘No thank you,’ but it was already too late—the old man had taken one look at the dinosaur glasses and burst out laughing so hard he almost fell over. Everyone in the shop joined in, including the bemused staff who finally admitted they hadn’t seen anything strange either.
