Saraswati Optical

Saraswati Optical is right there at Shiv Chowk. We are directly in front of the Shiv Murti so you can’t really miss us if you’re passing through. The shop isn't very large but we have enough room for the frames and the testing equipment. Looking at eyes all day is what we do here. It’s a good spot because everyone knows the landmark. The traffic at the chowk can be quite a lot during festivals. We see people from all over the neighborhood coming by to get their vision checked or just to get their glasses tightened. It’s a quiet kind of work compared to the noise outside. We’ve had the same counters and chairs for years. They work fine so we haven't felt the need to change them. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded on Saturday afternoons. We just handle one person at a time and take it slow. There’s no rush really. Most people around here are regulars who have been coming to us since they were kids. Now they bring their own children in. It’s nice to see familiar faces. We just keep things basic and honest. Glasses aren't complicated if you know what you’re doing. We focus on the task at hand and try to make sure everyone sees a bit better when they leave.
