Optical Store in Da Lat: Eye Exams, Prescription Glasses & Sunglasses
If you are looking for an optical store in Da Lat — whether you are searching for a “glasses shop near me”, an “optical shop near me”, or simply somewhere reliable to replace a broken pair — this page explains what to expect at Mắt Kính Đặng Phước Quân, what we can and cannot do quickly, and how to get here.
What the store does
- Eye examination (refraction). A step-by-step check of your current vision to determine lens power. This is a refraction test to select lenses, not a medical diagnosis; conditions that need treatment require a doctor.
- Prescription lenses. Single vision, progressive, photochromic, blue-light filtering, high-index thin lenses and driving-oriented options.
- Frames and sunglasses. Both branded and everyday options, with fitting and adjustment on site.
- Repairs and adjustments. Nose pads, screws, arm alignment and cleaning.
How a visit usually works
Walk in without an appointment. The team will check your current glasses if you have them, run the eye examination, then talk through lens options before you choose a frame. Frame choice and lens choice are separate decisions, and it is usually easier to settle the lens first — the lens power affects how thick the edges will look in a given frame shape.
The eye examination is included free of charge when you purchase lenses. If you want the measurement only, ask at the counter first so there is no misunderstanding about cost.
What to bring
- Your current glasses, even if the prescription is old or unknown.
- A written prescription if you have one. Prescriptions written abroad use the same SPH / CYL / AXIS / ADD notation and can be read here.
- Contact lenses removed a short while before the test if you wear them, so the measurement reflects your eyes rather than the lens.
Choosing where to buy
Wherever you buy in Da Lat, a few things are worth checking before you pay: whether the shop can explain the price difference between lens options in plain terms, whether the estimated completion time is realistic for your prescription, what the warranty covers, and whether adjustments after purchase are free. A shop that answers those four questions clearly is usually a shop that will still help you a week later.
What we actually stock
“Optical store” covers a wide range of shops, so here are the real numbers from our stock list rather than a general claim.
- 452 optical frames — 480,000₫ to 38,900,000₫. The bulk sits between roughly 1,500,000₫ and 3,500,000₫.
- 179 sunglasses — 560,000₫ to 11,930,000₫.
- 49 lens lines — 168,000₫ to 6,480,000₫ a pair.
Frames run from budget lines such as Exfash (45 models from 480,000₫) and Hanvis (20 models) through mid-range Seeson (62), Molsion (90) and Bolon (96), up to Burberry (12, from 6,010,000₫) and Chopard (10, from 13,600,000₫). If you have a budget in mind, say it at the counter — it narrows 452 frames down to a workable tray very quickly.
Costs you should expect
A complete pair is frame plus lenses. The lens is often the part travellers underestimate, because a thin high-index lens can cost more than the frame it goes into. As a rough guide from current stock:
- Standard clear lenses start around 168,000₫ a pair.
- Thin high-index lenses run from 308,000₫ to 6,240,000₫ depending on index and coating.
- Progressive and bifocal lenses run from 841,600₫ to 3,904,000₫.
- Blue-light filtering lenses run from 697,600₫ to 6,240,000₫.
- Photochromic lenses run from 662,400₫ to 3,456,000₫.
All lens prices on this website are for a pair, not a single lens. This is worth stating plainly because the convention differs between countries and it is a common source of confusion.
Aftercare
Cleaning, re-adjustment, screws and nose pads are free for as long as you own the glasses. Frames loosen with wear and nose pads perish; both are quick fixes and neither is charged for. If you bought elsewhere and simply need an adjustment while you are in town, ask — it is a small job.
Since 1991
The shop has traded in Da Lat since 1991. That is relevant to you mainly in one way: warranty and aftercare are only worth what the shop’s continuity is worth, and a business at the same address for three decades is a reasonable bet on being there when you come back.
