Eye Catch

You can find us at New No. 85, which used to be Old No. 39, on 86th Street in Ashok Nagar. The street numbers around here can be a bit confusing for people who aren't from around this part of Chennai. We deal with all sorts of things related to eyes. It’s a small shop, nothing too extravagant. We have frames on the walls and some equipment for testing. Most days are spent helping people find a pair of glasses that don't slide down their nose or just chatting with the regulars. Ashok Nagar is a busy place, and we've been on this street for quite a while. We aren't one of those big chain stores you see in the malls. It’s just us here, trying to make sure people can see a bit better when they leave. Sometimes the shop gets crowded, especially on Saturday afternoons. We have a lot of drawers filled with different lenses and spare parts. If a screw falls out of your glasses, we can usually find a replacement in one of those boxes. It’s practical work. We don't use much fancy terminology. We just look at the eyes and suggest what might work based on the prescription. It feels good when someone puts on a new pair and realizes they can read the signs across the street again. That's pretty much what we do every day at Eye Catch without any fuss.
