Check your Sight - MarketFriday Eye check point.
Found something unique while wandering in the market. It happens that you will get to explore something interesting all the time by chance. While during one such marketing day, my Nephew broke his Glass eye wear frame. Being into a Rural part we hardly get any eye specialist. For any Eye checkup and Power lenses we prefer to go to the city where Eye Specialist easily available.
But this time, my Nephew desperately needed something to wear, after all he has a very powerful😉 eye.
Looking here and there we finally traced a local eye wear shop, who happens to keep glasses and temporary eye wear frames, ( not much feasible one) . As we were in dire need for one, we get into the shop hoping to replace the broken frame with a new one.
Well that is not the actual frame he brought in😮. It was one of the instrument to measure the eye power. Even I was noticing such instrument first time. The shop owner offered us to get the eye test as well, so that if required he will change the glass as well. Pretty much business tactics to pull customer. Our curiosity to check his capability opted us to get ready for it.
He opened his table cabinet and took out some lenses.
There were many lenses , different styles, and different power. I peeped inside the cabinet to find many Red and Black lenses kept sequence wise. The way it was kept, it look promising . Each of the lenses were numbered as well for identifying the correct power.
The shop owner, started to take out each lenses and started to put on each of the eye hole of the wearable frames. Starting with small power, he kept on increasing the power and keep asking to read some advertisenment in the nearby shop billboard. My nephew quite obidiently following his instruction.
Well, not satisfied with the desired outcome, as we went there to change the frame and getting indulged in eye checking. I asked my nephew to pull back and focus on replacing the frame.
Now this time he listened to me, at once and ready to leave the shop. The owner judged our mood and straightaway offered us what we were looking for and replaced the Frame.
Afterall we do not want to risk the precious eye sight from those local "Eye Check Point"

This was an awesome look into a rural setting when eyeglasses become broken. I was fascinated by the method he used and how he did it, having him read as opposed to the eye exam.
I am glad to hear that all ended well and yes! If you need eyewear, there is no way you can go without! Thank you for posting to #MarketFriday!

Glad to hear he got a new frame for his lenses!
My kids and wife have spent the last week getting new glasses and contacts less than a mile from the house, I never considered that it is more difficult in places. We used to be out in the country here but now the city has moved out to us so those days of not having local access to stuff has really changed.
Quite the old contraption for checking the eyes but I guess it works, thanks for sharing.
Yes @sultnpapper the orthodox method quite works. But I just do not want to risk as the shop owner is hardly 24 years old...may be because he is handling his father shop so I feel it was bit risky to take Chance on his calibre..
