Namdaemun optician: UV sunglasses, no-pinch fit, Angyeonggwa Saradeul

Why I went to Angyeonggwa Saradeul in Namdaemun for summer sunglasses

What brought the writer to Angyeonggwa Saradeul (안경과사람들), an optician in Namdaemun Market, was the summer sun. With summer approaching, the sunshine is getting really harsh.

The weather looks bright and clear, but the hot sun and UV rays keep making me squint my precious eyes. So I wanted a good pair of sunglasses, and that's why I stopped by this Namdaemun optician, Angyeonggwa Saradeul.

Angyeonggwa Saradeul location, hours and how to get there from Hoehyeon Station

Angyeonggwa Saradeul is at 61 Namdaemunsijang-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul (101), and it is open 9:30-20:00. It's 200 m from Hoehyeon Station Exit 7, so it's close, and you can see Shinsegae Department Store from there.

This is the Namdaemun optician Angyeonggwa Saradeul, and it felt fresh to be back in Namdaemun after a long time. I saw so many foreign tourists that for a moment I couldn't tell whether I was in Korea or abroad, haha.

I had business in Jongno, and after finishing I got off at Hoehyeon Station. It's easy to find, so it was convenient to drop by.

Public transport access is excellent, so you can drop in whenever you feel like it. It's a real gem of a Namdaemun optician.

What is the optician consultation at Angyeonggwa Saradeul like?

Angyeonggwa Saradeul has a professional optician who picks frames to suit your face, and the shop is good at both fitting and lenses. Finding glasses that suit you isn't easy, so it's perfect when you can't decide which pair to choose. The same goes for sunglasses.

House brands through classic designs are all here. It's a tidy shop set up to make choosing easy. When I talked about the things that had bothered me, the optician explained them carefully and thoroughly.

Which lenses are recommended if you look at a computer a lot?

At Angyeonggwa Saradeul, blue-light-blocking lenses are standard, and there are also lenses that selectively block the harmful blue light. The writer looks at a computer screen a lot and always worried that their eyesight was getting worse rapidly.

I also heard an explanation about Essilor Stellest, which is said to slow myopia progression by 67%, based on clinical data that has completed review by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Glasses are more than simple vision correction; the right pair touches a lot of your daily life, so measuring your eyesight is very important.

Eye exam and same-day pickup at Angyeonggwa Saradeul

At Angyeonggwa Saradeul they do an eye exam and work to an accurate prescription, and usually they fit the frame and lenses that same day so you can wear them right away. Special lenses may take longer depending on individual eyesight, and if it's a special case that has to be ordered, it can't be done the same day.

Proud of its excellent facilities, Angyeonggwa Saradeul is a specialist shop that matches each person with the right frame and lenses.

With long experience and know-how they can do a precise eye exam, which is reassuring. It's a place where you get glasses that suit you, taking eye fatigue and your lifestyle into account.

How should you choose a frame?

Angyeonggwa Saradeul has such a variety of frames that choosing is half the fun. If you know your style, just look carefully for the color, design and shape you wanted.

If you're not sure what style suits you, ask and pick mainly from what they recommend.

If you can, go a bit higher in price, because the quality is better.

The price range was great too. Frames are sorted well by price, so you can choose to your taste. Pick frames and lenses to look elegant, or sometimes to express your own flair.

There are so many designs that you should see them in person and find which suits you. Leopard-print frames, back in fashion lately, are stylishly displayed too. Retro designs are popular all over the country.

There's also a receipt review event, so it would be nice to write a thoughtful review and get a small gift.

Zeiss lenses and multifocal lenses are available too

At Angyeonggwa Saradeul I saw Zeiss ClearView single-vision lenses, said to reduce thickness while improving performance. There are also Zeiss DriveSafe lenses, said to help you drive confidently at night. Multifocal lenses and frames for older people are all here too. The designs are elegant and the colors are striking.

This Namdaemun Market optician has lots of frames with wonderful details that can be worn in a luxurious, individual way. It's also full of the popular frames that celebrities on TV wear these days.

Many of the frames are very comfortable to wear. There are clean, comfy horn-rims, and modern metal frames with a refined, urban look. Plenty of them also match domestic trends.

With so many kinds, I lost track of time just browsing. Shopping in a tidy shop made the time even more enjoyable. The variety lets you compare and choose the ones you like.

With sunglasses that protect your eyes from the harsh sun and frames in many shapes and styles, it's a good stop for everyone, men and women, young and old.

Angyeonggwa Saradeul gives friendly consultations and fits glasses so they feel good to wear, so in Namdaemun, go here and nowhere else. I once had glasses that slipped down later or pinched so much that both sides of my face hurt.

Since they adjust every part carefully, you really get glasses that are your own.
