We are committed to providing our customers with comfortable lenses and durable glasses at a reasonable price — built to last over two years of everyday wear. We understand that buying eyewear online, especially internationally, can raise concerns about fit or comfort. That's why we've crafted a customer policy that prioritizes quality, transparency, and trust. Effective from Mar 25, 2025, our customer policy is as follows:

1. Product Defects
If you discover a defect in your glasses — such as an incorrect lens prescription or a distorted frame — please contact us within 14 days of receiving your order.
To request a refund, send us clear photos of the issue via Chat or service@seoul-optics.com.
Once the defect is verified, a 100% refund will be issued via PayPal.
Please note: A difference from what you expected (e.g., style or feel) does not qualify as a product defect.

2. Returns and Exchanges for Change of Mind
Due to the nature of international shipping, we do not accept returns or exchanges simply due to a change of mind.
Instead, we’ve designed a smarter, more trustworthy approach to help you shop with confidence:

✅ Every pair is carefully inspected before it leaves our hands.
✅ We are the first in online eyewear to offer aspheric single-vision lenses as our default option — for lighter, thinner, and more comfortable wear.
✅ Need the perfect fit? Send us your photo — our licensed optician can pre-adjust the frame to suit your face before it ships.
Thanks to these measures, we minimize the need for returns while offering a personalized, high-quality experience from start to finish.

We are open to all inquiries and feedback, and you are always welcome to contact us through chat and service@seoul-optics.com!

Your order will be shipped within the next 24 working hours. For lens orders, please allow consider an additional 1-5 days!

We recommend reading our article titled "Top Tips For Buying Glasses Online Without Mistakes". It has all the information you need!

The prescription and reading lenses come with three coatings: hard coat (scratch-resistant treatment), anti-reflective coat, and superhydrophobic coat. For prescription lenses, we exclusively use aspheric lenses, UV, and blue light blocking as standard to enhance the clarity of the lens edges.

To determine the extent of blue light blocking in our lenses, we had them tested by the Korea Accreditation Service (KOLAS), which is part of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC).
The results are as follows!

For Index 1.6 and 1.67: 99% in the 380-410nm spectrum
For Index 1.74: 99% in the 380-405nm spectrum

Our prices are listed in USD.
