Akshare Eye Foundation

You can find us at 6052 Railway Station Road, right across from the Town Hall. Being opposite such a big landmark makes it easy for people to find us, even if they aren't from this part of the city. The traffic right out front can be pretty bad, especially in the evenings when there’s an event at the hall. There’s always a lot of honking and people shouting. Our building is a bit of a plain one, nothing special to look at. Inside, we keep things simple. There’s a desk where you sign in and a few rows of chairs. The tiles on the floor are a bit chipped in places, but we keep them clean. We spend most of our day doing eye tests and checking prescriptions. It’s a steady rhythm. The staff is used to the noise from the street, so we don't even notice the buses anymore. Sometimes when it rains, the roof in the back hallway drips a little, so we put a bucket there. It’s not a high-end clinic with marble floors, just a local spot where we do our work. We know most of the shopkeepers on this block and sometimes share a newspaper in the mornings. It’s a decent place to work, even if it gets a bit cramped when we have a lot of visitors at once. We just focus on the job at hand and keep things moving.
