The shop closed its current unit at 330 Balestier Road on Thursday (Aug 1).
Lim Seah Seng and his sister Karen Lim run Lim Kay Khee Optical House along Balestier Road. However, the family business, founded by the late Lim Kay Khee in 1946, does not plan to shut for good. The establishment is set to relocate to Balestier Point across the road from their current shophouse unit at 330 Balestier Road later this year.
Since its heyday, the shop has lost nearly 80 per cent in revenue, Mr Lim told CNA Lifestyle last year Lim Seah Seng and his sister demonstrate how a customer's eyesight is tested with the store's eye chart. The optical house was “known for continuing to use traditional methods to create custom spectacles, an art that is almost lost to time in an era of fast fashion”, stated the press release.
