Engineered in Vietnam with international compliance standards. Explore our high-demand OEM/ODM smart audio frames, photochromic sunglasses, and camera-integrated smart glasses.
As global eyewear brands, optical chains, and smart wearable pioneers seek supply chain resilience, risk mitigation, and tariff optimization, Vietnam has established itself as Asia’s premier high-precision hub for eyewear frame manufacturing. Leveraging modern manufacturing infrastructure across northern industrial zones such as Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, and southern clusters around Binh Duong, Vietnam provides unprecedented cost structures, skilled artisan hand-finishing, and advanced CNC optical milling capabilities.
Our Vietnam-based production facility combines traditional European cellulose acetate curing with ultra-precise micro-machining and cleanroom electronic assembly. Whether producing classic high-grade optical prescription frames, lightweight TR90 memory polymer sports frames, or advanced open-ear smart audio temples, our integrated manufacturing model fulfills strict global compliance metrics including ISO 13485, CE, FDA registration, and REACH environmental standards.
Eyewear frame production requires a delicate equilibrium between mechanical structural integrity, optical alignment tolerance, and tactile wearer comfort. Our production infrastructure in Vietnam utilizes four specialized manufacturing lines:
We source premium eco-friendly bio-acetate sheets, subjecting them to 90-day curing cycles to eliminate frame warping. Precision 5-axis CNC router carving ensures exact bridge fit and temple alignment, followed by 72-hour automated barrel tumbling and manual hand-buffing.
For executive lightweight series, our aerospace-grade Japanese beta-titanium wire drawing and laser welding create non-corrosive, hypoallergenic frames weighing as low as 12 grams with high elasticity and memory retention.
As the manufacturer behind Vue Smart Glasses, our Vietnam lines feature Class-100,000 ESD cleanrooms designed specifically for integrating directional acoustic speakers, noise-canceling beamforming microphones, and touch sensors inside slim 25g daily-wear temple arms.

Overcoming the aesthetic limitations of bulky smart glasses, our 3rd-generation platform reshapes micro-acoustics and temple weight distribution. The resulting frames look, feel, and fit like high-end designer eyeglasses while retaining all-day smart functionality.
An optical frame is only as good as its lens retention and axis accuracy. Our Vietnam optical laboratory partners with leading lens manufacturers to offer pre-glazed prescription packages shipped direct to wholesale networks.
Every frame is certified for structural groove tolerances, ensuring zero lens slippage under environmental temperature variations. We support single vision, anti-blue light gaming coatings, transition photochromic lenses, and polarized TAC sun lenses.
Designed for resilience in high-humidity, fast-paced urban mobility environments across Vietnam and international export markets.
In dense urban centers like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok, motorcycle commuters rely on open-ear audio frames to hear turn-by-turn GPS navigation while retaining total auditory awareness of surrounding traffic signals and horn warnings.
Warehouse staff and retail inventory managers use hands-free audio glasses for pick-to-voice instructions. Workers stay connected to voice assistants without wearing restrictive in-ear earbuds that impede workplace safety communications.
With real-time AI translation frames (such as our AI Translate 6.0 series), international business executives and tour guides in Vietnam bridge language gaps during live negotiations with instant dual-channel acoustic translation.
Strategic movements shaping OEM procurement choices for brand owners and global distributors.
The boundary between traditional optical frame factories and consumer electronics assemblers has dissolved. Vietnam’s optical ecosystem is rapidly adopting SMT surface-mount technology directly alongside acetate polishing workshops. Buyers benefit from single-source manufacturing where mechanical frames and internal audio chipsets are engineered simultaneously.
Global environmental mandates (including EU Green Deal directives) are driving demand for non-petroleum frame materials. Our Vietnam production lines prioritize biodegradable cellulose acetate made from wood pulp and cotton fibers, paired with 100% recyclable titanium and recycled ocean plastic TR90 polymers.
Transitioning from manual caliber measurement to AI-assisted optical inspection systems allows our Vietnam facility to guarantee lens groove depth accuracy within 0.02mm, dramatically reducing lens popping and rim strain during wholesale glazing.
Modern eyewear brands require lower minimum order quantities (MOQs) with faster turnaround times to test market trends. Our modular tooling setups in Vietnam enable agile production runs starting at 500 units per colorway for customized frame styles.
Combining San Francisco design innovation with rigorous Vietnamese manufacturing execution.
Operating under strict international intellectual property protocols, safeguarding your proprietary CAD frame geometries, circuit designs, and branding rights from prototype to full-scale rollout.
