Vimco Optical

You can find Vimco Optical on the 3rd floor at 56/1, Canning Street. Being in this part of the city means dealing with a lot of crowds and narrow stairs, but that is just part of the experience. Canning Street is always packed with people and goods moving around, so it takes a bit of patience just to get to the front door. Once you climb up to the third floor, it gets a little bit quieter, but the energy of the market is still right there. We spend our days looking at lenses and frames, making sure everything is lined up correctly. The lighting in our shop is very bright so we can see the small details, which makes it feel a bit different from the dim hallways of the building. We have drawers and drawers full of different optical parts, and sometimes it takes a minute to find the exact one we are looking for. It is a bit cramped with all the boxes stacked up against the walls, but it is our space and we know it well. We have been here for a long time, and we have seen the street change quite a bit over the years. It is not a modern showroom with glass cases everywhere. It is more of a working office where we get things done and ship them out to the shops.
