About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few weeks ago, an elderly gentleman entered Modern Eye and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or price tag. Curious, he asked the clerk what it was for. The clerk shrugged and said, ‘No idea, but it’s been here since last week.’ So the old man took the box home and placed it on his dresser. A few days later, a delivery driver arrived carrying a large box of glasses. When he opened it, there were exactly twenty-four identical wooden boxes—each one just like the mysterious item from Modern Eye. Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered twenty-four copies instead of one.
2. While trying on new glasses one morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘I feel like I’m looking through someone else’s eyes today!’ Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—joked, ‘Maybe my order got mixed up with yours!’ The optician smiled and replied, ‘Well, if you see anything from Mars today, please let us know.’ Everyone laughed, and the day turned out to be surprisingly fun.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up outside Modern Eye with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. The box contained a brand-new pair of glasses so delicate that even a regular’s breath might break them. The next morning, everyone in town wore their new specs—until they realized they could see each other through walls.
4. In the dim light of early morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Modern Eye and noticed something odd in the backseat—a pair of glasses that seemed to be staring right back at him. Curious, he picked them up. To his surprise, they seemed to follow his movements—until he realized they were just mirrored frames. With a laugh, he placed them on the counter inside, only to hear an amused voice say, ‘I guess you found my specs!’ Turned out it was just a regular customer who forgot them again.
