Haeundae optician: astigmatism exam and Anne et Valentin, Second Face

When picking out new glasses — whether for vision correction or as a fashion piece — finding a premium frame that truly fits your face shape and lifestyle is harder than it sounds. I went looking for a high-end specialty shop where I could actually try on luxury frames you rarely see at a regular optical shop and get a proper fitting, and ended up at 'Second Face Haeundae Sinsigaji Branch'! 👓✨

The interior ♥

Inside, the frames were neatly arranged and easy to browse! This shop is an official high-end dealer for the Haeundae and Busan area, with a distinctive lineup that lets you compare and try on three of the world's most renowned house eyewear brands all in one place.

Comparing three house brands: Lindberg, KameManNen, Anne et Valentin

At Second Face Sinsigaji Branch I got to try on and compare Lindberg, KameManNen, and Anne et Valentin all in one place. Each of these three world-class premium eyewear brands has its own unmatched charm.

Lindberg — Danish ultra-lightweight titanium

First, Lindberg, the official ultra-lightweight house brand of the Danish royal family, boasts a 100% titanium frame structure with absolutely no screws or welding, delivering incredible lightness and comfortable wear!

KameManNen — 100 years of Japanese classic craft

Next, KameManNen, Japan's representative classic brand with a 100-year history, lives up to its name meaning 'unchanging for ten thousand years,' standing out for its finely crafted titanium durability, distinctive reverse nose pads, and elegant, dimensional presence!

Anne et Valentin — French geometric design sensibility

Finally, Anne et Valentin, with its French sensibility, was perfect for expressing clear individuality and artistic flair through sensuous color combinations and dimensional geometric designs!

Why fitting matters more with high-end frames

The moment I walked in, I was delighted to see everything from niche collections you won't easily find elsewhere to sensuously designed pieces gathered in one place. Especially for luxury frames like Lindberg or KameManNen that demand advanced technical skill, fitting is everything — and here, thanks to their high-level fitting expertise, they made precise adjustments perfectly suited to my face shape and comfort! Their professionalism and know-how really drove home the point that 'ah, high-end frames really do need to be fitted at a specialty shop.' 👍

From ₩50,000 frames to contact lenses

Second Face Sinsigaji Branch stocks not only premium luxury frames but also plenty of affordable options starting around ₩50,000, so there was really a wide range to choose from! ✨

On top of that, they carry everything from UV-blocking lenses for eye health to contact lenses in various brands and prescriptions, perfectly stocked, so it was easy to pick according to my needs and budget.

Consultation with the optician and turnaround time

I was torn over which frame would suit me, but the optician immediately picked up on my needs, face shape and usual style, and recommended each brand's best-selling models with real sense — making the decision so much easier!

Throughout the consultation, they guided me kindly and attentively, so the whole process felt comfortable, like being genuinely looked after.

What's more, even for premium frames that require precise, painstaking work, the glasses were made much faster than I expected, so I got them without a long wait!

How was the astigmatism eye exam?

My eyesight isn't great to begin with and I also have astigmatism, so I've always been anxious whenever getting glasses made.

The optician went through the precise exam and prescription fitting so carefully and thoroughly, step by step, that I felt completely at ease throughout the exam! ✨

The moment I put them on, the fit hugged my face perfectly and I was thoroughly satisfied. 🩷 If you're looking for the glasses of your life to add to your personal style, or want to compare Lindberg, KameManNen and Anne et Valentin in person, I recommend 'Second Face Haeundae Sinsigaji Branch'! ✨
