I had to get new glasses because my old ones broke. The lenses are (somehow) too small for the frame. They can't be put back into the frame without breaking them. I have only had them for 1 year. Weird, I know......
I heard getting glasses in Korea was cheap and now I believe it!
The eye exam, which is just like I would get in the states was F-R-E-E! Yes free!
Frames range from 10,000 won to 300,000 won or more (if it's a designer frame). The lenses also vary, (20,000 won to 90,000 won) depending on what kind of protection coating is put on.
I got very nice frames and lenses with a good protective coating. Somehow, 10,000 won was knocked off of my lens price, which was fine by me.
I picked up my glasses today (even though they would have been ready within 10 minutes after I made all of my selections) and I am ecstatic about them! I don't think I have ever been as happy as I was to purchase a pair of glasses. And.....I hate to say it, but the quality of Korean glasses (exam included) is much better than that in America!
