Someone sat on my glasses I bought in Japan from Jins and I was crushed. It was my only pair of…read moreprogressive lenses and my absolutely favorite. 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.

Dr. Yamamoto provides EXCELLENT service and prices! He's so friendly, professional, and honestly…read morecares for his patients. He saved me a ton of money by reusing my old frames that I absolutely loved instead of fast-selling me designer frames that resembled my old frames anyway and cost an arm and a leg. He also helped me get a refund from my insurance. No other optician had ever done that for me. He's the best! My only regret is, year after year, giving certain widely advertised eyeglass shops business who overcharge on frames, especially, and trick you into believing you're getting a good deal. Thank you, Dr. Yamamoto!

Large selection of glasses too. So glad I switched over to Dream Vision Eye Care! The only minor caveat is that they have you browse their glasses selection after dilating your eyes, which made it a bit difficult to choose properly. My advice is to come in earlier to browse, or come back another day as parking is free/validated. Thank you!

I was shocked that I found one that I liked within 15 minutes. Maria is very good! Dr Poon found a retinal hole/tear on my eye. I am going to Pali Momi right now to laser repair it.

I was stressed and worried because I really need them, and I didn't know of any place that could make glasses the same day, that was affordable, and had my lenses available since I have a high prescription. Thankfully, they were able to receive my prescription by fax and make my glasses within 1 hour, even with a fully booked schedule and me being a walk-in. The doctor was very kind, and the front office lady was so sweet and helpful. I'm incredibly grateful for their service and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

I haven't gone to see him in close to 4 years so I have no idea. In the search for a new eye doctor that was near me Downtown Vision came up and with really good reviews. Being the holiday season they were busy so it took a month to be able to get an appointment on my day off but it was well worth the wait. Dr. Chun and his wife Mia are terrific! 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.

Been seeing him for many, many years and was always highly pleased. Went in today for my annual eye exam and I needed new glasses.

Then went back to the Optometrist's office -- had them cancel my credit card charge for the $800+ and just give me the prescription for the glasses I need. For some reason, they still wanted to charge me $100.......... Went to another Optometrist a couple of miles away, ordered my new glasses (which will be here in 1/2 the time as MidPacificEyecare) and it is ONLY costing me about $125........what a rip off!!!!
