Oval frames caught my eye as the pretty option, and while I was in Namdaemun I dropped by 007 Optical and found a frame that was totally my style..👓❤️ Price, location, exam equipment, friendliness — all perfect.

Every pair of glasses has a color sticker so you can check the price without having to ask each time, which made me feel really at ease 🤭 (White 30,000 / Yellow 50,000 / Blue 60,000 / Red 70,000) ![Frames marked with color-coded price stickers](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-09-1nvyu-900.webp) ![Display stand of frames with price stickers](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-10-hfdvp-900.webp) The opticians also helped me try on glasses comfortably (some places kind of hover and make you feel subtly pressured 🥲) but here there was zero judgment no matter how many I tried on 🤍 ![A corner of the store with glasses on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-11-1gfxb-m-900.webp) And it turns out YouTuber Sunwoo Yong-nyeo has visited this optical shop! I'm a huge fan of her channel so I was so happy to see it!!! She wears unique, distinctive glasses and sunglasses, so quite a few other customers had also come after seeing her videos! ## Choosing the leopard-print oval frames ![Trying on an oval frame](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-12-1d42p-900.webp) ![Trying on frames while deciding](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-13-1qzh5-900.webp) I'd already decided on oval frames, so I tried really hard to find the one that felt most comfortable on my face🤭 I must have put on and taken off glasses for a good 30 minutes because I liked literally all of them!!!!!! ![Comparing leopard, wine, and black frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-14-1mqed-m-900.webp) The leopard print was so cute, and the wine-colored pair was also really nice ㅎ Then I started wondering if I should just go safe with black frames, and fell into an endless loop of indecision…😱 So which frame did I finally choose? 👀 ![Trying on the frame chosen after much deliberation](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-15-1cjq7-900.webp) ![Fitting frames at 007 Optical](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-16-csngl-900.webp) ## What the eye exam at 007 Optical involves Once you pick your frame, it's time for the eye exam..! 007 Optical's exam equipment was totally state-of-the-art (eye profiler, Zeiss optometry solution). I had smile lasik surgery in Gangnam two years ago, and honestly this felt better than the machines they used then…👓 They walked me through everything really thoroughly and carefully, from vision testing to checking for astigmatism ✨ I ended up learning new things too, which was nice haha ## How long the glasses took to make Even though there were quite a few customers, they said the glasses would be ready 30 minutes after the exam, so I went to check out trendy Namdaemun Market in the meantime! 30 minutes..! That's top-tier speed for busy modern people ❤️🔥 ![Leopard-print oval glasses completed in 30 minutes](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-17-ux2fg-900.webp) ![Wearing the finished leopard-print oval glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-18-koxaz-900.webp) In the end I went with the leopard-print oval glasses! 💛 The lenses weren't too small so they actually made my face look smaller 🤭👍 The leopard print is cute but also stylish, I think I'll wear these a lot! ![Finished glasses with blue-light-blocking lenses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-19-1fhjv-m-900.webp) I went with blue-light-blocking lenses, and while I've heard 'this blocks blue light' plenty of times at other opticians, 007 Optical actually showed me the blocking in action, which was so reassuring and cool! 👀✨ I'm truly obsessed — it's my own pair of glasses but I still think they're so cute 🎶 ![Wrap-up photo from the visit to 007 Optical](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007/namdaemun-oval-tortoise-glasses-007-20-c9483-900.webp) From the trendy oval frames to everyday styles, 007 Optical has such a wide lineup that just browsing was fun 👓✨ The exam is thorough thanks to the state-of-the-art equipment, the opticians are so kind, and the glasses are ready in about 30 minutes!
