New Abirami Opticals

We are located in the Karpaga Complex on Goodshed Street. It is a busy area with a lot of shops and people moving back and forth all day. Our optical shop is a small space filled with different types of frames and mirrors. We spend a lot of our time cleaning the glass cases because they get dusty quite fast with the door being open to the street. It’s not a fancy place like the ones you see in the big malls. We have a few old chairs for people to sit on while they wait for their eye tests or repairs. Most of the work we do involves sitting at a small bench with tiny tools, trying to fix a loose screw or a bent frame. It can be hard on the eyes, so we take breaks and look out at the street every now and then. We’ve been at the Karpaga Complex for many years and have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. Many of our customers are locals who have been coming to us since they were children. We don't have a computer system for our records; we just use a set of thick notebooks where we write everything down. It’s how we’ve always done it. Sometimes the noise from the goodshed area is a bit much, but it’s part of the life here. We just try to help people see a bit better and keep our shop running as well as we can.
