The ones I've been using for years were so scratched up and beat up they looked like they've been ran over and buried for a spell... it was time for a upgrade. Off the bat, I can tell you that Crane supports VSP, which is a big plus because "Pacific Eye Center" does not! You'll easily spend over $500 for a nice pair @ Pac. Eye center... The selection here is great! It's catered to Kauai's unique clientele. They had all the good brands! Ray ban, Oakley, Maui Jim to name a few. So much selection- it took me a while to choose. Staff is super friendly and courteous! The whole office staff helped me choose the best sunglasses for work, play and special occasions- I liked the selection so much, I bought 3 pairs! I will be returning here for all my prescription eyewear needs for sure. 5 stars for the staff, service and selection!

Yet, Hawaii is not a place for major purchases--things ain't cheap here. I phoned a local 1-hour optician and ask for an appointment, until I'm told that eye exams run from $180-$1,000. Then, I have to purchase the eyeglasses! So, I'm bracing myself for a major expenses for eye and exam and 1-hour eyeglasses and in desperation, I phone Dr. Duane Rowe at COSTCO and I'm told that exams are generally $100. We get an appointment for the next morning. Dr. Duane is friendly, very competent, and saved us many hundreds of dollars! With his eye exam, he also fitted my wife for contacts and provided her with a trail pair. Also, he speaks Spanish really well. Not common in these parts. OUTSTANDING (located inside COSTCO, tho you don't need a member to enter for any eye appointment.)

I have had a very difficult time getting a great prescription over the past few decades, and as a result I've had some difficulties with my progressive lenses performing well, until now. I'm so incredibly happy with my new prescription and the lenses that I had created through Dr Gandia's office, I had to tell you all about it. A few years earlier I had a very thorough exam, prescription and lenses created by another very well respected optometrist in Lihue, at the cost of about $200 more, and they were not as accurate or as perfectly focused as these new eye glass lenses that Dr Gandia and her great staff have now created for me. I'm extremely appreciative of Garden Island Eye Care's services and excellence!

It was our last day in Kauai, and didn't want to spend our time at the airport, waiting for our…read moreredeye flight. So decided to go to Costco to see if their optical department could tighten my Costco glasses before heading back to the mainland. The optical department closes earlier than the store itself, so we ended up wandering around. We intentionally went there on the last day after our luggage had been packed, thinking it would prevent us from buying things to bring back. But there were two things that we don't see on the mainland, that were of good price: 1.5 Coffee beans from Molokai Estate Coffee (100% from Molokai, and which my wife confirmed later was very good) and a Ube cream Liquor from the Philippines, that went great with the said coffee. Both fit in our checked bags and made it home safe. It wasn't too crowded because it was close to closing and was of large size, including self checkout lanes. Another good visit to Costco.

I'm not really sure what's not to love about this Costco. Right after we got off the plane, we…read morechecked into our resort, and came straight here to grab a few necessities. We arrived late in the day, so we missed out on the fresh poke and other seafood goodies. At least were able to grab some bottled water, Taro Brand Salmon Lomi, and chips. Those items alone were worth grabbing, and lasted us the entire week. My admiration for this location is because it wasn't as crowded as the Honolulu locations. Or maybe we just arrived at a good time late in the day on a Monday. Here, we were able to navigate through easily and select various treats for gifting. Like Mauna Loa chocolate macadamia nuts, a variety of Hawaiian Host items, and I tripped out seeing these bell pepper crisp and a ramen crunch snacks. We bought two bags of furikake and shoyu flavored rice crackers, or arare. In the bakery, I died and really wanted to try this fresh baked Mayorca Suprema sweet roll. Check out my pic, you'll be droolin'! And you can't leave the store without buying a bag of Island Princess Macadamia Popcorn Crunch or their honey roasted macadamia nuts. We did see cheap, but made of decent quality rain jackets if you need one ($19). As well as some bargain deals on casual shoes and sandals. No problem upon check out, service was cordial. And oh yeah, their outside food court is the standard. Hot dog and a drink $1.50, chicken bake, and a slice of pizza. Sadly, nothing different. No issues finding parking either. In short, this Costco location has a wide variety of items not found on the mainland. Great gift items as well as supplies you'll need for your resort stay. I mean, you can go to the Island Market or ABC Store, but that's where it can start to get pricey. Just my thoughts and my words. To each his own!
