Same day Rx sunglasses around Myungdong?
Often pick up pair of regular Rx glasses in Seoul, but need new pair of Rx sunglasses. Like ELO's style and frames generally, but sunglasses have 1-2 day wait (unlike an hour for regular Rx eyewear). Any suggestions in Myungdong area? (as I'll only be in Seoul for 36 hours en route to SE Asia)

Go to dongdaemoon market, you'll see dozen or so stores next to each other. Be sure to haggle up to 30% from asking price. I got 2 pairs for $80.

Are the glasses knockoffs?
Bought fake designer glasses in China a few years back----not bad. I think I paid aobut $35 each - sunglasses (fake Raybans) were not as good.

How are glasses in Seoul?

More expensive, but with UV protection you can actually trust.
