I visited with my mom to replace her old frames, chose slim light-purple frames, and received a thorough eye exam and final fitting. Verdict: a light, flattering new pair of glasses with plenty of choices to browse. ## Good to know - **Address**: Room 101, 61 Namdaemunsijang-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 09:30–20:00 - **Other**: Reservations *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## A Namdaemun Market eyewear store near Hoehyeon Station Maybe because it had been a while since my mom got her glasses, but her frames were starting to look rather old. So I thought it was time to get her a new pair! While looking for an eyewear store in Namdaemun Market, I heard about a place with lots of styles and colors that helps you choose what suits you best, so I came here with my mom. It was only a five-minute walk from Hoehyeon Station, so the location was great. ![Location of Angyeonggwa Saradeul near Hoehyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-01-340k0-1200.webp) We stepped inside, and would you believe there were already so many customers in there? ![Interior of the eyewear store with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-02-1rcgs-900.webp) ## Looking over the frame styles and price ranges We started browsing in earnest. As I looked around, some of the sale items at affordable prices caught my eye. ![Eyeglass frames displayed on sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-03-1v7tg-900.webp) But what I really liked was that there were so many different styles. ![A variety of eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-04-50q5w-900.webp) And honestly, no matter how good the price is, you won't buy something if the design isn't pretty. There were lots of lovely designs too, which I liked. ![Eyeglass frames in varied designs](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-05-ehdnx-900.webp) As we kept looking, we found so many frame designs—from thick plastic frames to metal ones. ![Thick plastic and metal eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-06-109go-900.webp) ![Eyeglass frames in multiple designs](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-07-6xzpp-675.webp) There was a wide range of prices as well as styles. Along with affordable options, there were high-end branded frames, so it was easy to buy according to your budget and taste. ![Eyeglass frames across different price ranges](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-08-1kq2d-675.webp) ![Display of branded eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-09-i89j1-900.webp) ## Getting a recommendation for slim light-purple frames It had been a long time since my mom had shopped for glasses, and after browsing for a while, she was really stuck on what to choose. Then a staff member came over and kindly asked what color and type she was looking for. ![Consultation for choosing eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-10-18ot7-675.webp) ![Frame recommendation consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-11-10g3f-900.webp) Her current pair had light-pink thick plastic frames, so we said that this time she wanted slim frames in light purple. ![Slim light-purple eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-12-14fqh-900.webp) ![Choosing light-purple eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-13-t5r86-900.webp) They showed us and recommended several slim light-purple frames, so she could choose one that matched her taste. ![Recommended slim-frame glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-14-1tbnc-900.webp) ![Different light-purple eyeglass frames](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-15-1q8h2-900.webp) ## From children's glasses to adult sunglasses They also sell items for children, you know! We could look at children's glasses and sunglasses too. ![Children's glasses and sunglasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-16-1t2b4-900.webp) There were sunglasses for adults as well. ![Display of adult sunglasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-17-1wjcj-900.webp) Aren't the colors and shapes incredibly varied? ![Sunglasses in varied colors and shapes](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-18-4kg1h-900.webp) I had replaced my sunglasses not long ago, but there were so many pairs here that I liked. They had everything from low-priced sunglasses to well-known brands, making this a great place to find exactly what you want. I also filmed a video so you can take a closer look at the sunglasses selection, so please use it as a reference. ## A thorough eye exam and photochromic lens option Once she chose her frames, it was time for the eye exam. They were so meticulous with every single step! ![A thorough eye exam in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-19-upv2k-900.webp) They also asked in detail about anything that felt uncomfortable. ![Eye exam checking for discomfort](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-20-1n9iu-900.webp) They made sure my mom could have her eye exam comfortably. ![A comfortably conducted eye exam](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-21-quacp-900.webp) They did everything accurately without missing a thing, so she could get just the right prescription. It really was one of the places in Namdaemun Market that does glasses well. ![Glasses fitting process after the eye exam](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-22-1tv7h-900.webp) For reference, there are gifts available if you take part in the Naver event. ![Information on Naver event gifts](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-23-9v8h9-900.webp) They also offered photochromic lenses, which let regular glasses turn into sunglasses outdoors. ![Information on choosing photochromic lenses](https://img.superchart.com/images/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame-24-1jux5-900.webp) My mom already has two pairs of sunglasses, so after thinking about it a little, she decided to go without photochromic lenses. They told us to come back an hour after the exam, so we explored the market enthusiastically and returned an hour later. They welcomed us right away, saying her glasses were ready! Then they adjusted them once more to fit my mom's face. Once everything was adjusted, they put them in a case like this. ## Light new glasses that suited her face beautifully When we got home, my mom took out her new glasses. Aren't the shape and color so pretty? She came home, took off her sunglasses, and put on the pair she had just had made. She was so pleased, saying they were very light and suited her face so well. And they looked wonderful to me too, so I thought we had made a great change! If you are looking for an eyewear store in Namdaemun Market, or one with good prices and kind service, I recommend stopping by here. ## Where it is - Angyeonggwa Saradeul (안경과사람들) (안경과사람들) - Room 101, 61 Namdaemunsijang-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 남대문시장길 61 . 101호 - 37.5606782, 126.9793404 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EA%B2%BD%EA%B3%BC%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%8C%EB%93%A4/@37.5606782,126.9793404,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekend-cart-stops/namdaemun-glasses-people-lavender-frame/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
