    Got these towards the end of 2014, still working Sunday 10 September 2023.
    Tanis L.

    Dream Vision Eye Care was where I went for my eye exams and glasses when I was attending the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (2012 to 2015). I still use (today is Sunday 10 September 2023) one of the pairs of glasses I got here, the other pair broke earlier this year (in April 2023). For my appointments, I chose to walk to the office from where I was living at the time, on-campus, though I did observe nearby street parking for those who drove. For each of my exams my doctor was professional and friendly and picking out frames and lenses was straightforward. My health insurance covered one pair of glasses every 18 months and I got my first pair in 2013 (thicker plastic Ray Bans frame), which my insurance did a good job on covering. The second pair I got about November/December 2014, which was a couple months before my insurance would cover a second pair. I needed the glasses for a conference and went with the paying out-of-pocket option. Even out of pocket, the price was good (this second pair was metal/plastic Coach frame). Thinned lenses were available for my high prescription, though that did cost a little more. My first pair, the Ray Bans, lasted about a decade (2013 to April 2023) and I was very happy with. They ultimately snapped when my parents' dog ran into the side of my face when I was doing yard work one day. The second pair, the Coach frame glasses, are coming up on year nine in age and I continue to use. Very happy with both pairs, their longevity, and my overall experience with Dream Vision Eye Care.

    Went here to get and eye exam and fitted for contacts. It is kind of hidden across the street from the Wedding ring shop. I've been lucky and have found metered parking right in front on both occasions. The front entrance is locked but employees open it up right away. Very professional and helpful staff. They really take their time in helping each customer. I asked for prices for about 5 different frames and she wrote it all down and put it in my file. They were so patient with me and I really appreciated that. They also put in my new lenses into an old frame. Took about 20-25 minutes to change out. They even adjusted the frames to make them tighter for me. They really do care about their customers. I ended up getting a pair of frames with my eye insurance and they gave me an additional 20% off. The store is clean, comfortable and relaxing. Definitely recommend you give them at try!

    I have been seeing Dr. Poon, I believe over ten years now, and love how she is thorough and caring. Also everyone who works there is efficient and respectful. When you purchase contact lenses and glasses, the staff explains to you until you fully understand the products and never pushes or leads you to buy anything. I feel confident and comfortable to see the doctor and purchase eye care products.

    My very new eyeglasses & happy!

    I've been with Dream Vision for some years now & I am happy to get my eye check-up here every other year! They are fast in doing your eye test and very great people skills of customer service. I would recommend to go here! Since I made an appointment, I didn't have to wait long to be called to see doctor! Great company!

The temple hinge had cracked off the main frame part and I took my glasses to Costco optical, LensCrafters, Jins in California and they all couldn't fix it. Jins USA couldn't even fit my old lenses in any of their frames because Jins USA is completely different stock from Jins Japan. I took my broken frame to Paris Miki Ala Moana because they sell Japan frames but they were not helpful and couldn't help me. I know I'm not the first person this has happened to so I was disappointed I couldn't find anyone to fix my glasses. I just include this part so you can avoid all the trouble and just come here if you have a similar problem. SEOUL OPTICAL is on the 12th floor in the Pacific Guardian Tower, which is next to Walmart across Makaloa. They open at 9am. It's not facing the street or in a shopping center so you have to go looking for it. Kenny is the optician and speaks both Korean and English and was extremely helpful and told me he can't fix the broken temple hinge but he did have some frames that would fit my lenses! He immediately showed me a few frames and I was out of there in 10 minutes with my new glasses. My new frames are made in Korea, they are even lighter than my Japan frames, and the nosepads are not the clear silicone ones that turn green after a while, they are silver and so cool. My frames were $150 which is a great price compared to Costco/Lenscrafters and because they are made in Asia, fit my face better than any American brand frames I own. Even if you're not Asian, I highly recommend this place for your optical needs, he does carry US name brand frames too, but the frames made in Asia are far superior and cheaper than a trip to Japan/Korea.

They're both extremely personable and I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped into their office. I ended up getting a pair of progressive bifocal glasses that I can use for work and close reading. I also had my regular distance lenses replaced on my older set and I couldn't be happier with both of them. I have no hesitation recommending them if you're in need of eye care.
