Everything compared is cheaper than in the Netherlands, by a wide margin for refraction, examinations and capsulotomy, and barely for the frame. Da Nang is cheaper on nearly every item it shares with this page. Glasses with lenses, contact lenses and laser eye surgery have no price here. The eye hospital prints separate insured, uninsured and on-request prices; the rows never use the insured one, and the on-request rows say so. A free test at an optician is a technician's measurement, not an examination. The Ray-Ban figure is the list price; a shop shows a lower promotional price. The phakic implant price does not say whether the lens is included, and cataract surgery is left out because its line prices the operation with or without a lens. The flight is yours to add. Providers in Hoi An are included and marked with their city. ## Providers | Provider | Priced items | Cheapest on | Phone | Hours | Note | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Bệnh viện Mắt Quốc tế Việt - Nga | 8 | 7 | 0931 8888 01 | | Ho Chi Minh City eye hospital that publishes a text PDF tariff with three price columns (insured, uninsured, on request) for surgery, examination and refraction lines, most with a stated per-eye unit. | | Phoenix Medical Center | 4 | 2 | 028 3856 7666 | | High-tech eye and ENT clinic in Quận 5 with a 67-line ENT examination and procedure price list. | | Patrick Eyewear | 1 | 1 | 0906 003 396 | | Ho Chi Minh City branded-eyewear retailer (webshop pew.vn, shops in Quận 3 and Thảo Điền, Thủ Đức) that lists Ray-Ban frames with a price and size on each product page. | | Trung Tâm Mắt Quốc Tế Phương Đông | 3 | 0 | | | Private eye centre in Quận 3 run by former HCMC Eye Hospital specialists; its price page lists examination, refraction, laser and surgery lines in plain server-rendered tables. | | Liên Sơn Optical Store | 1 | 0 | 0905 94 94 94 | | Ho Chi Minh City optician and webshop (shop hours 9h to 21h) that prints standing and struck-through prices on each Ray-Ban frame page. | | Mắt Kính Tâm Đức | 1 | 0 | 1900 9999 37 | | Optician chain with nine Ho Chi Minh City branches (Quận 1, Bình Thạnh, Tân Bình, Gò Vấp, Quận 7, 9, 11, 12, Thủ Đức), a full webshop and a stated free eye test; its Ray-Ban RX7260F page prints a price. | ## Price per item ### Frame, Ray-Ban RX7260F At home: €159 Item page: https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/ho-chi-minh-city/eyes/frame-ray-ban-rx7260f.md | Provider | EUR | VND | Observed | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Patrick Eyewear | €150 | 4.560.000 ₫ | 6 October 2026 | https://www.pew.vn/gong-kinh/ray-ban-rx7260f-200054 | | Mắt Kính Tâm Đức | €165 | 5.022.000 ₫ | 6 October 2026 | https://matkinhtamduc.com/gong-kinh-rayban-0rx7260f/ | | Liên Sơn Optical Store | €163 | 4.970.000 ₫ | 6 October 2026 | https://www.liensonoptic.vn/products/gong-kinh-rayban-rx7260f-8462 | ### Autorefraction, on request (khám theo yêu cầu) At home: €39-€75 (private) Item page: https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/ho-chi-minh-city/eyes/autorefraction-on-request-kham-theo-yeu-cau.md | Provider | EUR | VND | Observed | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Bệnh viện Mắt Quốc tế Việt -
