Thí Hospital is the good one

Thanks, but do they spake English , the website is only in Vietnams

The website by Vietnamese but I think they can speak English. This is the biggest eye hospital in HCMC

If your looking for an eyeclinic, i recommend American eye center in D7. There is a dutch eye surgeon / retina specialist and a vietnamese eyedoctor
Staff and Ophthalmologists speak english and are highly qualified

Thanks for the recommendation

Do you know the name of the clinic or address please

The eyeclinic is called American Eye Center, and it s on the 5th floor of Crescent Plaza, 105 Ton Dat Tien Street, Tan Phu Ward, District 7, Tel: 0854136758/59. The name of the dutch opthalmologist is Dr. JD Ferwerda. He has more than 20 years of experience in cataract and vitreo-retinal surgery (educated in Belgium and The Netherlands). If you want to see him, you have to ask specifically for a consultation with him.

Thanks allot

You may refer to Cao Thang Eye Hospital in Tran Binh Trong street. They are the only eye hospital in Vietnam that has JCI Certificate.

Update,

I am just back from http://www.benhvienmat.com/ which was recommended. Apart from just almost only vietnamese speaking,
Just forget it,
It will need generations to adapt it even to a 5th world hospital
I left the so in anger today, that I slapped the paid part bills and running book left and right over the managers ears in presence of some doctors... and trust me, I am a relaxed and free of any aggression person.

What you need is a capable eye surgeon, good equipment and a safe jci accredited hospital ( that sterilizes equipment after every surgery, not once a day as in a lot of hospitals happens here.)
At the European Eye Center in d2, HCMC, there is a highly qualified dutch eye surgeon , dr JD Ferwerda, with over 20 years of experience,. He uses his own equipment and staff and has the latest equipment to measure the correct IOL ( implantlens)  He operates in 2 jci-accredited hospitals.
And his prices are very reasonable.
Check him out, it s your best option. He even has patients coming from France and Singapore!

You have been on Expat.com since 2014 and have only made 3 posts.

In all 3 posts you advertised American Eye Center in D7.

Could it be that you are the recommended Dutch doctor trained in Belgium and you are looking for new customers?

I am not the ophthalmologist, but I know him. He used to work at the American Eye center but now has his own clinic in d2.

Sounds like a fair answer
What I just like somehow to figure out; you seem to be quite knowledgeable at least, so there should be some more subjects, where you could have definitely an opion at least

a forum lives by it's people/posters abd their QAs

Completely true! I will share my advice  more often. I am an MD too btw, thus the opinion on medical services.
I have seen a share of bad medical care here,  hence the advise to find a good MD.

'I have seen a share of bad medical care here,...'
One was likely from me, however, that was not about the doctors, but the manager in charge

Well a hospital that wants to give the best care and function at a high standard, needs not only good doctors...

I went to this hospital and had a good experience.  As the name says it is the Eye Hospital.  I went with my wife but we found that they have a two track system for locals and foreigners.  It should be an easy place for expats to negotiate alone.  I usually object to differential pricing but the system assigned me to English speaking doctors and was faster than the local track.  My wife was having a routine eye exam and took a lot longer than I did. 

I had a retinal peel in the US and wanted to do a follow up as the procedure often advances the development of cataracts.  The doctor that I saw was, based on what local patients told my wife, the best retinal specialist in Vietnam.  He was foreign (US?) trained and spoke excellent English.  Of course mine is a layman's opinion but I was impressed by his knowledge and abilities.

Expensive?

I know that there are various cost levels in many clinics.  They are usually called "VIP" or "Service".
