Namdaemun Market optician: light clear titanium work frames, ₩80,000

How close is the Namdaemun Market eyewear street to Hoehyeon Station?

Angyeonggwa Saradeul (안경과사람들) sits on the Namdaemun Market eyewear street, just a short walk from Hoehyeon Station. Did you know Namdaemun is famous for glasses too? A lot of people go to Namdaemun to buy baby clothes, right? On the way toward the Bourdain kids' clothing area, there's an eyewear street close to Hoehyeon Station. You only need to walk a little after leaving the subway.

It was a rainy day so there weren't many people, and I could browse at my leisure ☔ The quiet mood let me look around slowly and compare lots of different frames. There were frames at every price point, so it was easy to choose within a budget, and overall the prices felt reasonable.

Heavy horn-rim work glasses: what did Angyeonggwa Saradeul recommend?

When I said I was looking for light glasses, the owner of Angyeonggwa Saradeul immediately recommended titanium frames. I usually keep separate glasses for work and for driving, but my everyday work horn-rims were so heavy that my nose and ears always hurt. I work staring at a monitor all day, so the weight of my glasses really matters.

I asked the owner, "Do you have anything lighter?" and got a titanium recommendation right away. If you're after light glasses, I really recommend trying on titanium frames. The difference in weight is real 👍

The owner is kind and did a great job picking glasses that suit my face shape 😊 It wasn't just "this looks pretty" and done; the owner took my overall vibe and my usual style into account, so I could choose with confidence.

How many frame styles are there?

Angyeonggwa Saradeul had a huge range of frames, from trendy designs to classic styles. Anyone expecting variety from Namdaemun glasses will probably enjoy the choosing. If you were looking for glasses near Myeongdong, it's close to Hoehyeon Station, so it's worth a stop.

How much were the titanium clear frames?

The titanium clear frames I picked at Angyeonggwa Saradeul were about ₩80,000. I'd always wanted to try clear frames. The owner looked at my face shape and vibe and suggested a design I liked, so I decided on the spot ✨ Considering they're titanium, the price felt reasonable.

Can you get an eye exam at Angyeonggwa Saradeul?

There's also a separate eye exam area inside the shop. This time I bought only the frames, but the owner is so kind that I imagine the exam would be done to your satisfaction too.

Can you browse Namdaemun sunglasses here too?

Angyeonggwa Saradeul has a wide sunglasses line as well as frames 🕶️ While looking at frames, the sunglasses caught my eye, and there were so many that I thought I'd come back the next time I need a pair. If you're looking for Namdaemun sunglasses, it's worth a visit.
