This particular store has character. It’s not some soulless chain. The staff actually smile. They’ll joke about your dodgy vision. They’ll laugh when you try to read the bottom line of the chart and say “umm… a blurry potato?”
They won’t shame you for losing your glasses for the 47th time. They’ll just hand you a new pair with a wink. “Happens to the best of us, mate.”
Plus, the waiting area has a chair that makes you feel like a king. Or a queen. Or a very confident pigeon.
Quirky details that’ll make you grin
Here’s a secret: The eye test machine has a little house on it. A tiny red house. It focuses your eyes. But it also looks adorable. You’ll want one for your desk.
They give you those disposable sunglasses after an eye test. Pull them over your normal glasses. You’ll look like a spy. A stylish spy.
And the hearing test? They play beeps. If you hear a beep, you press a button. It’s essentially a video game. You win by hearing well. High score: “I CAN HEAR THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE.”
