Ram Opticians

We are located right in the middle of the Main Bazar at Shop N-55. If you know Gandhidham at all, then you already know how busy the bazar gets, especially in the evenings when everyone is out doing their shopping and walking around. Ram Opticians has been a part of this street for a good long while now. The shop itself isn't very wide, but it actually goes back quite a bit further than it looks from the outside. We have racks of different frames on the walls and those big letter charts for testing people's eyes tucked away at the back. It is usually quite bright inside because we need a lot of good light to see what we are doing when we work with the lenses and frames. There is always a bit of noise coming in from the street—mostly horns honking and people shouting to each other—but we have mostly gotten used to it after all this time. Sometimes a customer comes in and just cannot decide on a frame for over an hour, so we just let them try on everything we have until they are happy. We spend a lot of time cleaning fingerprints off the glass display cases and adjusting the tiny little screws on the side of people's glasses. It is very practical, hands-on work. We see all sorts of people every day, from young kids getting their very first pair of glasses to older folks who just need some help reading the morning newspaper. We don't use fancy machines for everything.
