Om Opticians Contact Lens Clinic

If you walk around Dadar West, you will find us at Shop No 5 in the Shree Sai Sharada building. Being an optician and running the Om Opticians Contact Lens Clinic keeps us pretty busy because people are always dropping their glasses or losing a lens. Dadar is a crowded part of Mumbai, so there is always a constant stream of people passing by the shop window. Some days are louder than others, especially when there is a festival or just the usual rush hour at the station. Inside the shop, it is mostly quiet. We have the chairs for eye testing and the racks where we keep the different frames. It is not a very big space, but we have managed to fit everything we need into it. Sometimes the air conditioner makes a weird humming noise, but we just ignore it. We spend our time looking through those machines and helping people figure out why their vision is a bit blurry. It is a lot of small talk about the weather or the local news while people try on different pairs of glasses. We have been in this building for a long while, and the other shopkeepers nearby are all familiar faces. It is a steady way to spend the day, just cleaning lenses and adjusting the nose pads on frames that have gone crooked. We just try to keep things simple and get the orders ready on time.
