Since Vietnam is situated quite close to the equator the sunlight that it receives can be quite damaging to the eyes. Furthermore the streets of Ho Chi Minh can get dusty as well as the smoke from the busy traffic can cause eye irritation should you have sensitive eyes. Thus one tip here is to not forget to bring a pair of sunglasses with you whenever you go outdoors.
