Malay Optical

Malay Optical is located on N. S. Road. It’s a busy street with lots of traffic and people walking by all day. We’ve been here for quite a while now. The shop is full of glass cases with different frames and lenses. It’s not a huge place, so it can feel a bit cramped when more than three people are inside at the same time. We spend our days testing people's eyes and helping them pick out glasses that actually fit their face. We do a lot of the lens grinding and fitting right here in the back room. It’s noisy work and there’s usually a bit of dust from the machines, but that’s just how it is. We aren't a big chain store with matching uniforms. We just wear our regular clothes and talk to people like normal. Sometimes a repair takes longer than we thought it would because a screw is stuck or a frame is brittle. We just tell the customer it’ll be another day. Most people around N. S. Road are pretty understanding about that. We don't do a lot of advertising. People usually find us just by walking past or because their parents used to come here. It’s a straightforward business. We show up, help people see better, and lock up at night. There isn't much more to it than that. We like the neighborhood and the people who live and work in it.
