Swastik Eye Care Centre

Swastik Eye Care Centre is in Guru Gobind Singh Nagar, right across from the Tungsala gate on Majitha Road. It’s a busy area, so there are always people walking past our front window. We have a small shop area at the front where we keep different frames for glasses. Behind that are the rooms where we do the actual eye testing. It’s usually dark in those back rooms so we can use the lights and mirrors properly. We have a couple of specialized machines that we’ve had for a few years. They work fine, though they make a humming sound when they are turned on. The floor is covered in grey linoleum that has seen better days. We don’t have a big corporate office or a team of managers. It’s just the doctors and a couple of assistants who help with the paperwork and the glasses. Most of our patients are people from the neighborhood or from further down Majitha Road. They come in because their vision is getting blurry or they need new lenses. We have a small clock on the wall that is always two minutes fast, but we haven't bothered to fix it. There’s a water dispenser in the corner if anyone gets thirsty. We don't do any big promotions or ads. We just open the shop, clean the equipment, and wait for the first person to come in. It’s a steady kind of life, and we like it.
