Tekwade Eye Clinic

Our clinic is tucked away in Mukund Nagar, right by the Laxmi Narayan Theatre. If you've been to see a movie there, you've probably walked past our door at 2/4. It’s a small space, but we make it work. Most of the time, the waiting room is full of people squinting at their phones or reading old magazines. We’ve been at this spot for a long time. The street outside is always noisy with traffic and people heading to the shows. Inside, we try to keep it a bit quieter so folks can focus on their eye tests. Dr. Tekwade and the rest of us are usually running around from one room to another. We have those big machines for checking vision, and they take up a lot of room. Sometimes the light bulbs flicker a bit, or the door hinges squeak, but we just get on with it. It’s a straightforward kind of place. We see kids who need their first pair of glasses and older folks who have been coming to us for decades. We know their names and how they like their frames adjusted. It’s not a corporate office with shiny floors. It’s just Tekwade Eye Clinic. We drink a lot of coffee in the back room between appointments. When the theater crowd lets out, the whole street gets packed, so we usually time our lunch breaks to avoid the rush. It's a decent place to work and we like being near the theater. We just keep the glasses clean and the patients moving through.
