How can he unlock the store everyday and not notice that? Or it's a bit of tongue in cheek going on.

Perhaps, more than an "Optometrist", he is an "OPTIMIST" ?

The word just below and to the right of the ...oh never mind!

To be honest, I hadn't noticed the poster above the shop. Too old to be that optimistic! Or maybe I need an eyetest.

Brightened up my morning when I was stuck in the usual Bangalore traffic. Sign captured on ITPL Road in Bangalore.

Looks like a good way to deal with Pesky relatives. Keep them in the bank locker.

This shop belongs to my co-brother.He is not an Optometrist, but an Optimist for sure and a gentleman par excellence.

This is not a room or apartment "TO LET"
To solve the puzzle, just add alphabet "I" between words TO and LET

I think the message it wanted to convey was:

1. Don't leave valuables at home when nobody is at home, use bank lockers for this purpose.

2. If point #1 above is too hard to follow, then leave someone at home to look after the valuables.

But yes, they could have framed it better.
