Every business seems to have an opinion on Pokemon Go, from asking players to respectfully keep their distance to picking favorites from the three teams. And then there are the puns.

Case in point is the Brandon Eye Clinic in Springdale, Arkansas, which reached out to any Pokemon Go players having trouble seeing their screen (or things, people or ponds in front of them). If you have good enough vision, see for yourself:

"Is your Pokemon blurry?" the sign reads, "Let us have a Pikachu." And with all the injuries lately (as uncommon as they may be) it may be necessary to evolve your vision, lest you faint from an accidental tackle.
