💰 Get Glasses for Half Price with an ₩8,000 Voucher

Creatrip Exclusive at OPTIC LIFE Hongdae

Why Buy Glasses in Korea?

Korea's optical industry is world-renowned for three reasons. First, same-day service: precise eye exams and custom lens fitting happen fast—most glasses are ready the same day, perfect for short travel schedules. Second, quality meets affordability: Korean lens technology and craftsmanship are globally recognized, delivering crystal-clear lenses and durable frames at reasonable prices. Third, K-fashion trendsetting: glasses here aren't just vision correction tools; they're fashion statements reflecting the latest trends. You'll find styles that simply aren't available back home.

Getting glasses in Korea means practicality, style, and a unique souvenir all in one purchase.

The Deal

Most people in Korea spend ₩100,000-150,000 on decent prescription glasses. OPTIC LIFE in Hongdae is already known for having cheaper lens prices than typical shops. With Creatrip's exclusive voucher, you get 50% off everything through October, then 30% off from November onward—this isn't a limited-time promotion that disappears; it's an ongoing exclusive benefit for Creatrip members.

Real Numbers

Say you're buying ₩100,000 glasses. At OPTIC LIFE, they'd normally cost around ₩80,000 (lenses are already cheaper). With the October 50% discount: ₩40,000 + ₩8,000 voucher = ₩48,000 total (save ₩52,000). From November with 30% off: ₩56,000 + ₩8,000 voucher = ₩64,000 total (save ₩36,000).

For ₩150,000 glasses: October price ≈ ₩68,000 total. November price ≈ ₩108,000 total. Either way, you're saving significant money on something you need anyway, and you'll have them ready before you leave Seoul.

Why It's Worth It

• Free Professional Fitting: Located next to Blue Elephant sunglass specialists, OPTIC LIFE offers proper fitting service (adjusting nose pads, temple arms, frame curvature) that normally costs ₩30,000-50,000 elsewhere. This is included free with your voucher—no headaches, no ear pain, properly adjusted from day one.
• Same-Day Pickup: Like most Korean optical shops, OPTIC LIFE provides fast turnaround. Get your eyes tested, choose your frames, and walk out with finished glasses the same day—ideal for travelers.
• Ongoing Benefit: The 30% discount continues after October as a Creatrip exclusive. You're not locked into a tiny time window; you're getting sustained access to better pricing.

Who Should Buy This

Makes sense if you normally spend ₩100,000+ on glasses. The ₩8,000 voucher pays for itself immediately through discounts, plus you get professional fitting. Perfect for travelers who need new glasses, want trendy Korean frame designs, or are replacing old pairs during their trip.

Less relevant if you exclusively buy ultra-budget ₩30,000-50,000 glasses or require specific luxury brand frames.

Bottom Line

₩8,000 gets you 50% off (October) or 30% off (November+) at a shop with Seoul's best lens prices, plus free professional fitting and same-day service. Typical savings: ₩36,000-100,000 depending on what you buy and when.

How to use: Purchase the ₩8,000 voucher through Creatrip (membership required), present it at OPTIC LIFE Hongdae. Open 1-10 PM daily, next to Blue Elephant.

The October deal is sweeter, but the November+ exclusive discount is the lasting benefit. Plus, you're getting quality Korean eyewear at prices you won't find anywhere else.
