Hey all -

I've noticed lately that I'm having a lot of trouble seeing things that are far away. Up close I'm fine, but I have to squint a lot, or move a HECK of a lot closer to read things at a distance than many others around me. So, I think it's time I get my eyes tested. I live around the Itaewon/Haebongchon area, and I thought I saw a place around the Itaewon strip, but I looked for it again and it was gone.

So I need to know of a place either around my house, or around my work (Gwangnaru station) to get my eyes tested. Anyone know of a place?
Thanks! Smile

Just walk into any eye shop and they will test you fit you and give you some glasses in about an hour.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. In my old neighbourhood, there seemed to be an eye shop on every corner, but now I can't seem to find any. I thought there used to be one by the subway station in Itaewon, but it seems to have been replaced by another shop.

There is a really good opthalmologist/optometrist at Seokye Station. The unskilled laborers in the glasses shop suck.

Probably, more like it's time to seriously start laying off the soju, bro!

Well, I'm not a bro to start, and I haven't had soju in quite a long time haha. Thanks though.

Found a place, and it turns out I was right. Thanks for the help!

Its time for me to have another eye test done as well, as I feel my current prescription is off. I want to see a real optometrist this time too.. The last two eye tests I've had were from just dudes working in eye glass shops and I feel that they didn't do a good job.
