I heard that people who normally wear glasses are recommended to wear contact lenses on the wedding day since there are so many photos?? But my husband said there was no way he'd wear contacts, so we needed a pair of lensless frames for him to wear just during the ceremony, while keeping his regular driving glasses as they were, hahahaha. Also, thinking about the wedding photos, I wanted to pick something clean-looking but not too plain, without being overly flashy either. It happened that we had a trip to Seoul planned the day before the wedding, so my husband and I went to Namdaemun Market, and after hearing there are a lot of good eyeglasses shops around Namdaemun, we stopped by 007 Optical! ![Entrance and store signage at 007 Optical](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-02-zw0zz-m-900.webp) Apparently even the celebrity Sunwoo Yong-nyeo has visited this shop. There were photos and info about it displayed in the store, so we found ourselves > Oh wow, this place must really be famous! and looked around in surprise, haha. ![Frames densely displayed inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-03-1pbsx-m-900.webp) ## What the frame display looks like: round frames to horn-rims The first thing I felt walking into 007 Optical was "wow... there are SO many glasses" hahaha. Seeing it in person was even more than the photos suggested — the frames were packed in tight rows. There was everything from clean, basic designs to frames with more personality, so many types that it was actually fun trying on pair after pair even though we came for just one frame. ![Display shelf with a variety of eyeglass frame designs](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-04-ok0k6-m-900.webp) ![Display case with metal and horn-rim frames together](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-05-1uvi5-m-900.webp) From round frames to square frames, thin metal frames to horn-rims, the styles were so varied that even people who aren't sure what kind of glasses suit them could easily try things on and compare. I could see why so many people looking for Namdaemun eyeglasses end up here, haha. ![Round and square eyeglass frames on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-06-amibi-900.webp) ![Eyeglass frame display corner at 007 Optical](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-07-1oqba-900.webp) ![Tall vertical display case of eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-08-149y6-900.webp) ## Sunglasses filling a whole wall at 007 Optical 007 Optical isn't just packed with eyeglass frames — the sunglasses selection was huge too! Sunglasses lined the wall in a long row, in so many different designs that my husband immediately said > Should I check out some sunglasses too? haha. ![Sunglasses displayed along the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-09-10bda-900.webp) But since it was the day before our wedding, we didn't have much time. In the end we didn't have time to properly browse the sunglasses and just quickly picked out glasses that day. Next time I have more time, I'd really like to look through the sunglasses properly! ![Sunglasses display wall on one side of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-10-1izam-900.webp) ![Overview of the consultation area at 007 Optical](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-11-1jmad-900.webp) ## Eye exams and lens consultations at 007 Optical 007 Optical explains that the owner, with 30 years of experience, personally handles eye exams and consultations, using up-to-date testing tech and equipment to give tailored advice based on your eye condition and wearing habits. So it didn't feel like just a place to browse frames — more like an optical shop where you can get a full eye exam and lens consultation in one visit. ![Counter where eye exams and lens consultations take place](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-12-a0z48-m-900.webp) When we visited, quite a lot of people were there getting lenses fitted. Some were getting consultations for progressive lenses in particular, and staff were constantly attending to customers. But since there seemed to be two staff members taking turns helping people, the wait didn't look too long. Since we just needed frames without lenses, we were able to get through the consultation fairly quickly. ![Clip-on sunglasses attached to eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-13-18xup-900.webp) They also had these cute clip-on designs where sunglasses attach onto the glasses, haha. ## Lensless frames still get a left-right balance and nose pad fitting Honestly, we went into 007 Optical thinking "we just need to pick out frames, easy!" But the owner was far more thorough than we expected, and I really appreciated that. He checked whether the frames were balanced left to right, watched which way they tilted once on the face, and adjusted the nose pad position down to the smallest detail. I thought picking a single frame wouldn't need much thought, but once it was actually fitted to the face, even small differences turned out to matter quite a bit. ![Trying on the lensless frame chosen for the wedding](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-14-dlz3b-m-1200.webp) Since it was glasses my husband would wear for the wedding, I was also worried about how they'd look in photos, so it was a relief that they were fitted and balanced to his face, haha. That level of care made me think anyone looking for Namdaemun eyeglasses should really visit in person for a consultation. ![The groom wearing the frame after fitting](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-15-aeks4-m-900.webp) ## How did the lensless frames look in the wedding photos? Wearing frames without lenses definitely meant no glare, so the photos came out much cleaner, haha. Especially in a place like a wedding venue with lots of lighting, glare bouncing off lenses can end up covering the eyes in photos, but since ours had no lenses, we avoided that and the photos came out clean. Just looking at our wedding photos, I could tell we picked a clean, well-suited frame, and I was really happy about it 💕 ![Wedding photo with the lensless frame worn](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only-16-126b8-m-900.webp) If you're looking for a Namdaemun Market eyeglasses shop and want to try on lots of different frames in person, or want to browse glasses and sunglasses together in one spot, 007 Optical is worth a visit :) We didn't have time so we only picked out frames, but next time I'd love to take my time browsing the sunglasses too, haha. For anyone like me searching for clean-looking frames ahead of a wedding or some other important day, this was a good visit 💕 ## Where it is - 007 Optical (007안경원) - 1st floor, Sangdong Church, 30 Namdaemun-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 남대문로 30 상동교회 1층 007안경 - 37.560996, 126.9788712 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/007%EC%95%88%EA%B2%BD%EC%9B%90/@37.560996,126.9788712,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dongdaemun-fitting-room/namdaemun-glasses-wedding-frame-only/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
