Daegu optician with 50% off progressive lenses: Second Face Jukjeon

I recently took a closer look at my dad's glasses and realized the frames were really worn down and his prescription probably needed rechecking. Doing a bit of research, I found that Second Face Jukjeon Branch (세컨페이스 죽전점) has a word-of-mouth reputation for its rich lineup of eyewear and sunglasses, from premium house brands on up. It's apparently the place people go when they're looking for MOSCOT in Daegu specifically, so I took my dad along!

Where Second Face Jukjeon Branch is: parking and opening hours

Second Face Jukjeon Branch sits between Yongsan Station and Jukjeon Station on Line 2, across from Daegu Yongsan Xi. It's a 5-minute walk from Jukjeon Station.

Open daily 10:00–20:30. There's a dedicated parking lot right in front of the store, which made things easy.

Walking inside, the store was genuinely spacious and comfortable. Just as I'd heard, the range of eyewear was huge, so browsing was fun in itself.

By the way, there's also a lowest-price event on disposable contact lenses running right now, which should be great news if you wear contacts.

What the precision eye exam found for my father

At Second Face Jukjeon Branch, before choosing frames, they start with a precision eye exam. The examiner was kind and calm, walking us through everything clearly, so the exam went quickly but thoroughly.

Hearing the results, my dad's eyesight had gotten worse than I'd expected. Right now he only wears reading glasses when things get really uncomfortable, but at his current level they said wearing glasses regularly would help reduce eye strain.

How the 50% off progressive multifocal lens event works

As it happened, there was a 50% discount event running on progressive multifocal lenses (Zeiss, Hoya, Essilor)! It was the perfect chance to get my dad a premium lens he really needed at a reasonable price, so we decided to switch him over to progressives.

The store was neatly organized by price range and by brand, which made choosing really easy. We decided to go with a premium lens — a German premium brand — and pair it with a frame that was light and good value, since he'd be wearing it every day.

Thanks to the staff making sure we could try things on at our own pace without feeling rushed, we found a frame that fit my dad's face perfectly. He tried on several and said the very last one he put on was his favorite, so that settled it!

Which eyewear brands Second Face Jukjeon Branch carries

While my dad's glasses were being made, I wandered the store slowly, thinking since we were already there, I might as well swap out my own sunglasses too. The brand lineup was genuinely impressive.

Luxury house brands — Mykita, ic! berlin, MOSCOT, Masunaga, Kamemannen, Ivan

Total fashion brands — Dior, Celine, Gucci, Miu Miu, Tom Ford, Burberry, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent

Leading domestic brands — Lash, Carven, Odd Eye, CARIN

Sunglasses & sports goggles — Oakley, Ray-Ban, Rudy Project. It's rare to find this many brands under one roof — from MOSCOT in Daegu to all the other big-name house brands — so it was genuinely eye-candy to browse.

Why I picked CARIN sunglasses over MOSCOT and Ray-Ban

Out of all the sunglasses, I tend to like MOSCOT, Ray-Ban and CARIN. The classic MOSCOT sunglasses at this Daegu shop and the Ray-Bans were both so pretty that I agonized for a while. But after trying on quite a few, my final pick was CARIN sunglasses!

MOSCOT was really tempting too, but CARIN's particular vibe and fit clung to me just right. Maybe it's also because it's known as the brand worn by NewJeans' Hanni and Suzy — seeing it on in real life, it looked even more stylish and I loved it.

Getting my dad's glasses fitted affordably with the progressive lens discount, and finding sunglasses I loved for myself — this was a hugely satisfying visit. Friendly service, a thorough and professional eye exam, and the chance to compare a huge range of premium eyewear and sunglasses, including MOSCOT in Daegu, all in one comfortable spot — I'd highly recommend Second Face Jukjeon Branch to anyone weighing up glasses or sunglasses.
