Jay Kay Optik

Our shop is located at No. 24-26 in New Preet Nagar, right near the Shiv Mandir here in Ambala Cantt. If you’re familiar with the temple area, you’ve probably walked past us a few times. We spend our days dealing with frames, lenses, and helping people figure out why their vision is a bit blurry. It’s a local spot, so we see a lot of the same faces from the neighborhood. The shop gets a good amount of light in the morning, which helps when we’re looking at the small parts on the glasses. We have different rows of frames on the walls. Some are metal, some are plastic, and they all need cleaning pretty often. It’s not a huge space, but we’ve made it work over the years. We take our time with the eye tests because there’s no point in rushing that kind of thing. People come in, try on a few pairs, and we chat about the weather or what’s happening at the mandir. The street outside can get a bit loud during festival times, but that’s just how it is in Ambala Cantt. We keep a record of everyone’s prescriptions in the back office. It’s mostly just manual work and keeping things organized. We aren't trying to be some big chain; we just like being part of the local community and helping people see a bit better. Sometimes we have to wait a few days for specific lenses to arrive by mail.
