How to choose a glasses shop in Saigon
There are hundreds of optical shops in Ho Chi Minh City. A few checks save you from fake lenses or badly fitted glasses:
- Ask for the lens card. Genuine Essilor and Zeiss lenses come with a card and can be verified. Here is how to check authentic Zeiss and Essilor lenses.
- Look for brand certificates. LB Eyewear is a ZEISS Vision Partner (2026–2027) and an authorised EssilorLuxottica frame dealer.
- Check the eye test. A proper test takes more than a 30-second machine reading. Read our guide to eye exam vs optician for the difference.
- Get the price in writing. A clear quote for frame and lenses before cutting avoids surprises.
- Read recent reviews. Look for reviews from other foreigners on Google Maps.
