prescription glasses in Vietnam!

I figured I would try having a pair of prescription glasses made and see how they turned out.

WELL... even if the glasses didn't turn out well... I think the photo above makes it all a success!

But really, the glasses turned out pretty well! No, they are not the yellow ones above... those were just part of the eye test. The prescription on the glasses is somewhat strong (too strong) and I have heard of others going through the same issue with glasses they've had made in Vietnam (both HCMC and Hoi An). Overall, however, I'm happy with them... especially since they (frames AND lenses) came to $20 USD total. WIN!
