Eyes Plus does it again! We scheduled an appointment for the littles because our eldest starts preschool in August! Our toddler is very smart -- but she's also very shy. Dr Teal was so patient during her exam and adapted to her communication style by simplifying directions. It was a relief to know she didn't inherit my bad eyes and that she's on track for a child her age. My daughter's favorite part of the appointment was getting to look inside the treasure box post exam! There's so many things for the littles to choose from. The front desk is also a standout. Everyone is so personable and friendly. They make it a point to address everyone by name, which is quite impressive! This is such a positive and uplifting environment. The appointment + wait time took 45min for a follow up dilation for me, and an initial exam for my 3yr old and my 10mo old. I left the office feeling so relieved because I know about my babies eye health! I have no regrets and I don't think this is too early for a checkup. All of our visits are so informative & enjoyable. We're so glad to be part of this special practice read more

Eyes Plus - Optometrists Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Eyes Plus is a godsend. I've never thought I needed glasses until mid June, when I began to experience constant migraines. My PCP recommended I make an appointment to get my eyes checked. My husband's family eye doctor is Dr. Makini here at eyes plus, and so I came in. He and his staffs attention to detail before, during, and after my exam, helped me to have a clear understanding of why I could be experiencing headaches. He also went into detail about children's connection with ADHD and possible eye issues and how many doctors misdiagnose children. The coolest part was also that he uses VR technology to test your eyesight. Not gonna lie that was pretty fun lol After my exam, I learned that I was farsighted and needed glasses. His daughter and assistant Alexis, was so helpful in assisting me with finding lenses that match my style, comfort, and insurance budget. She fully explained the out of pocket cost and was transparent with me from the start. It's been 3 weeks now since I've had my glasses, and although I've needed an adjustment, Dr. Makini is so eager to help me find what works. Not to mention, his staff are so great at working around your schedule for appointments. If you're not comfortable with calling, you can actually text them and they respond right away. Thank you Eyes Plus and staff for all your help! Highly recommend! read more

As someone that is new to eye care, Eyes Plus provided patient and compassionate service along with education. I appreciate the wide range of products they had available, and they didn't just tell me what was happening to my eyes, but they showed me with advanced imaging. The doctors there are great and they were able to make sure I was taken care of with my eyes having worsening focus. On top of that they gave me a prescription that helped me from pain that I was having in my eyes due to an infection. Pricing was pretty good and they even take a referral from the VA so veterans with medical insurance with the VA can get an appointment once they get authorization from the VA. read more

I have been going to the eye dr for over 3 decades and this is the first time I had an all over GREAT experience. It was my first time to visit Eyes Plus today. Everyone is so nice. Their diagnostic systems are high tech and all the tests I did were explained to me, in depth, by Dr. Makini. I got to go eye glass shopping and they had so many styles and high end brands for relatively great prices. The store is pretty impressive. The frames I would normally get, including all the special things like scratch resistance, glare and blue light protection always had me paying close to $700 (I have really thick lenses) but the frames AND my contact and glasses exam were way less than that! By 57% to be exact. The explanation of the difference between the 3 eye types was truly ...pun coming ... "eye opening". I'm recommending EVERYONE to come here! Including your keiki! If they're having trouble in school, it could be because they're far sighted and have issues with having a laptop in front of their face all day or something else...but this is a great place to start because I know I get frustrated when I can't see what I'm looking at the way it needs to be seen. Parking is FREE! and your GPS will take you directly to the office. read more

Great customer service and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Will be returning! read more

I am so happy I found a good optometrist. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. The first time I brought my keiki to Eyes Plus (which wasn't their first eye exam, though it was their first time at EP) Dr. Makini was so informative. I appreciated that he spoke directly to my keiki and made sure they understood what was happening, as they were the patient having the exam done. Most doctors will look at me and talk to me instead of my children. I was so thankful that Dr. Makini focused his attention on them and made sure they were comfortable during the exams, especially when he saw my son was leaning a little forward when he was looking through the machine, Dr. Makini kindly adjusted the machine to make sure my son was sitting comfortably and not having to lean forward. He always communicated and didn't say things like "you need to let me know", instead he took it upon himself to ensure both my children were comfortable during their exams and would ask "is that better? Would you like me to move it further up or down?" Thank you all for being so kind and positive. Don't ever change who you are! You all are so amazing! read more

Amazing Work and Service (AGAIN!) Trusted Eyes Plus to replace lenses in both pairs of my fragile, very pricey frames. They took special care not to ding or chip... Returned in PERFECT condition. I am ecstatic that they have replaced these lenses perfectly twice now! Other providers I've used on Oahu have returned so damaged I had to have expensive re-plating. Mahalo to Eyes Plus- read more

Eyes Plus - New Lenses! - Optometrists Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

So professional, so caring, so informative. I am blown away with the service of this office. I recommend 1000% and will be back with other family members! Thank you read more

I had a wonderful experience at Eyes Plus today with Nanette. It took her a while to adjust my new glasses but she showed patience and real care for me as a patient. Dr. Hank even came out to assist with to my unusual facial structure that it took a while to adjust my new glasses. Dr. Hank didn't have to come out but he took time out of his busy schedule to help me. If you want excellent care and receive an awesome patient experience for your eyes and new glasses you must go to Eyes Plus! read more

Diminished care. Sadly I feel like quality of care has diminished and new staff is not up to par with what I experienced the first time I came to Eyes Plus. One staff member in particular got visibly insulted or had some sort of breakdown simply because I didn't choose any of the glasses she picked out. I didn't ask her to pick them out, she just did it, and I simply didn't like any of them and went with another pair, am I wrong for that? Had she never been taught about patient rights? I don't know her name but she wore horizontal stripes for Halloween one year and they were extremely unflattering. I can spot a bad apple from a mile away and she will definitely be an issue in the future and affect quality of care and patient ratings if a small thing like this is what sets her off. Another thing, all patients have a right to a second opinion. It doesn't mean they think less of you as a doctor. If I go to my PCP and she notices my eyes are very red and haven't improved with your recommendations and she tells me to stop the medication to see if there's improvement instead of take more or switch to a new medication (as was recommended by EP), that shouldn't make you feel like your credentials are being attacked. At the end of the day what should really matter is that the patient's eyes are healthy. The situation is just a new data point that will help influence future decisions. For now my family will stop going to Eyes Plus quality of care has diminished. It's sad because I was almost going to recommend EP to several others who just left their other eye care providers and needed good doctors, though now I'm not sure EP would be able to handle their more complex cases especially since there's also been issue with patient record mix ups. read more

Eyes plus is terrible. I spent $600+ to get a prescription eye glasses. The glasses broke in less than 6 months and the screw kept falling out, I returned and in a week they said that they had fixed it. I got my glasses back and within 2 weeks the same problem. I then asked for a copy of my prescription and they lied to me about not having it because it was over 1 year and couldn't access it. Then told me I needed a new eye exam to get a new prescription. I request a copy of my medical documents which they have to give and BAM!there's the copy of my prescription on the medical forms that I had asked for. They want as much money as they can get out of you. Garbage. Staff is terrible and unfriendly. read more

Eyes plus is amazing. From the time you walk in you feel like you are family. All the workers are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Makini has a great team there. You can tell they love to work there. My experience has been nothing but top notch service. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs optometry service come here. read more

I visited Eyes Plus because their staff is able to coordinate the benefits of the two vision insurances I had. Not many eyeglass shops have that capability. I had a blast looking at the wide selection of beautiful eyeglass frames for women. After forty-five minutes of browsing, I was still not able to make a choice. During my appointment, the clerk showed me several pairs of luxury-brand frames that were highly discounted. The instant I tried on the Oakley frame, I knew that was the frame for me. First of all, the fit was perfect for my larger face, and the look was glamorous! It turned out that the price was way less than I expected and a great deal! I have enjoyed those glasses now for at least four years and still love them! read more

Always a pleasure to come here. The staff is extremely nice. There is a nice selection and it's a family atmosphere here.

Dr. Makini is amazing he explains everything so you can understand it. He's great with kids. My grandkids and kids enjoy seeing him. His staff very helpful and support him amazingly. I love that we can text them or email so awesome. read more

Took my son to have his annual eye examine. He has been seeing Dr. Makini for 10 years, prior to Dr. Makini, we have switched doctors a couple of times. Immediately, I noticed that Dr. Makini communicated directly with my son, even at such a young age. My son is very shy, and right away opened up to Dr. Makini. That made my heart warm as he has serious problems with his vision and had to deal with very unfortunate circumstances that would make him tear having to go to the OD. Dr. Makini first of all wanted to connect with my son, and they spoke on a personal level, which was just wonderful. After he spoke with my son, he spoke with my mister and I privately to give us the necessary info. When my son was old enough to switch from glasses to contacts, he had my son watch a video, and worked with him until he was comfortable with applying and taking it out and advised him and us on the important's of keeping it clean as well as your hands and the area. We were the last appointment, the office was closing up, but he would not budge until my son was comfortable. Basically, we stayed an hour half after closing time assuring us not to worry about the time. Dr. Makini is so through, explains himself so there is no misunderstanding. He has a connection with us as well as my son and that is an extremely important factor in choosing the right doctor for our son. read more

Against my better judgement I decided to stop going to the dr I was used to going to, in order to have less drive time since we moved to Ewa and I would have a shorter drive time to eyes plus in kapolei. I wish I would have just continued seeing the eye dr I've been seeing for the past 8 years. I have never had issues with my prescriptions. My eye glasses have always worked as expected once I had my prescription done. However, I had my glasses prescription done at eyes plus and took it to Sams club to order glasses. Once I received the glasses I felt like the prescription was really off and It made me really dizzy to wear them. I can not see much without glasses or contacts, but I also can not wear contacts for extended periods of time, I mostly wear glasses so obviously this was a problem. They got me in for a new appt this time with dr makini and I felt very at ease with him and like they would get it figured out. The prescription was off on both eyes so he wrote me a new one. I took the glasses back to Sams club using their warranty and had them redone. I got them back and guess what... still not the correct prescription. The left eye is good but the right is off. I made yet another recheck appt (a little over a week ago) and was due to come in tomorrow December 28. I just received a text message that they are cancelling appts through the new year and can get me in on January 8 or 9. They should be doing what they have to in order to get all of the clients in that they are rescheduling as soon as possible. Not making them wait 10 more days. I have had constant daily headaches that I was not having prior to having this mix up in prescription. I am very upset as this has been an ongoing issue for over a month now. I understand Covid cases are rising but it's a little ridiculous that if I called today to cancel my appt they would have charged me $25-$50 (per their reminder text they sent out yesterday) but yet they can not only cancel me last minute, but also won't be able to get me in for 10 days? Honestly, I feel like this place is not very professional and I will not be going here again. I will just have to suck it up and pay out of pocket to get a new exam at my old eye drs. There are many other good establishments to go to, I wouldn't recommend this one. read more

I feel like words don't describe how comfortable this place made me feel. I am someone who feels like the biggest burden for being complicated, and most of the time if things aren't perfect I will never complain. With my eyes it's a little more noticeable if something feels uncomfortable. I feel like I'm not an easy customer with all my eye problems and this place never made me feel like a burden to keep going back and adjusting and changing things up until they were perfect and the staff is probably the nicest staff of anywhere I've ever been. If you are looking for the right place to go this is it. read more

Good vibes and good eye Doctors is the energy I felt. Sadly they sent me away to another location in waikele to see an eye specialist.

Dr. Makini and his Staff are always so friendly, helpful and professional! Our whole family goes here and have been for several years. We can always count on the care we need from this team for our eyes. read more

This is a great doctor and the staff is so friendly. It's like dropping by to see family. This is the best place for eye care. They really show that they care. They are so easy to contact via text.....I love it. I have never had the level of service that I have here from any other doctor's office. If you are not coming here for eye care then you really need to change. They are fantastic!!!! Words cannot fully express how much I appreciate this doctor and staff for everything that they do read more

Dr. Makini and staff were simply amazing. Talk about great customer service and friendliness!! I am amazed at how Dr. Makini focuses on our keiki with an academic vision program as well as project S.A.V.E!! I highly recommend Eye Plus Inc. for all your eye care needs. Mahalo Dr. Makini and staff read more

I had my first eye appointment with Dr. Makini & loved it. I've never had a more informative appointment in my life, he explains everything so thoroughly & truly gets to know his patients so his patients can get to know their eyes. read more

Great service and very nice staff They were Extremely helpful. Would def recommend this place!

I had the most amazing experience at Eyes Plus, and will never go anywhere else!!! They truly care about you as a patient, and for your precious eyes, and show it every step of the way during your appointment time. Dr. Makini has even started an incredible nonprofit dedicated to the health of the youth in Hawai'i, which shows just how dedicated and hardworking this family practice is! In regards to fitting me for my glasses and my yearly check up, they were so attentive to detail and reached out regularly to plan appointment times according to my flexibility. They fit me in as a new patient within ten days, a super fast turn around! Color me extremely impressed. Will be recommending to family, friends and coworkers. Thank you for going above and beyond! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE FOLLOW UP. I left 3 voicemails, even did the online appointment thing and never received a phone call. Oh well hope they improve or will continue to lose customers. read more

I had my eye exam yesterday and I was so pleased with Dr. Makini and his staff I had to write a review. This truly is the office I measure my other medical visits by. I have been seeing Dr. Makini for about 15 years and regardless of how my vision has changed over the years, he always finds a solution so that my vision is the best it can be. He takes the time to explain what is happening with my eyes and looks for solutions for me. The office staff is professional but so friendly I always walk out with a smile. They are the best! read more

I have been shopping and looking for a good place to buy glasses when I came across Eyes Plus in Kakala St in a residential area via online. I called and spoke to Alexis and she was so helpful! She helped me setup an appointment right away and on the day I wanted! My first time visit at Eyes Plus was amazing! The staffs were all so friendly, they immediately make you feel comfortable! Of all the Eye Glass places I've been, Eyes Plus is by far the most professional place I have ever been! Alexis and another associate went through and explained thoroughly to me what I have chosen and what it covers! All other places I been before, never really knew what I was getting! Eyes Plus in Kakala is now my go to place! I totally recommend them! Thank you Alexis and Associate!!! read more

Dr Makini and staff are hands down the best place to get your eyes checked. He has helped my daughter with her vision and learning issues and as a result, my entire family now sees him. He and the staff are very friendly and have a beautiful and clean office too. read more

Very professional, kind, and courteous staff. Dr Makini is very knowledgeable and thorough. He really listens to concerns and isn't dismissive. I'm so grateful for this practice. read more

To answer a question on how I knew the prescription was backwards. I held the glasses backwards (arms facing away) and it was clearer. Then I asked them to check the lenses and they confirmed they were backwards. I have since taken a prescription to Costco, and for the first time I have perfectly clear trifocal lenses, on the first try and for 1/3 the price. read more

Dr Makini and his staff are always very professional and personable. The knowledge that Dr Makini shares about eyes are mind blowing! I love what they did with the new place, very modern and cute! read more

Dr. Makini is very friendly and professional at the same time. He is also very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain your eye health. He is not the type of eye doctor who would just give you a prescription right away and sell you glasses. I was having some issues with my vision and he tried to rule out some other factors that might be causing it. He prescribed some eye drops for a few weeks, which resolved some of the other problem but unfortunately, my vision is really not in it's best so I was finally given a prescription for a pair of specs. His staff are very friendly as well. I'm always greeted with a smile every time I walk in and out of the clinic. The only thing I didn't like about eyes plus is they don't seem to answer their phone... ever. I initially tried to call (several times) to schedule my first appointment but I could just not get through but luckily, their clinic is just inside the neighborhood so I decided to come in and schedule my first appointment. Other times that I tried to call was to possibly reschedule or let them know I will be a bit late for my appointment, still no answer. Other than that, I'd highly recommend eyes plus read more

I've been with them for the last 2 yrs and there office staff are VERY HORRIBLE on follow ups and the worst at customer service. They Thant your concerns and do not address your concerns. They say they will, but they never do!. Dr. Makini is a great! there office stuff is horrible. DO NOT go to them! It will be your biggest regret!! read more

Eyes Plus is a class act. The doctor and his staff are excellent. I especially like that the doctor, he took time with me to explain some things about my eyes that I did not know. I have many problems with my eyes and the doctor made me feel better. I highly recommend this office. read more

Eye Plus is the place to go! My family has been going to Dr. Makini's office since I had a bowl haircut in high school. As I fashion a bowl haircut today as an adult, I still highly recommend going to this optometrist! Why? He is very thorough during the appointments and shows a true spirit of aloha when you're there. He was able to take care of my eyes and I greatly appreciate the gift of sight. Also support local businesses! His business is one the very first businesses to grow in Kapolei. His kindness and professionalism is what brings my family to his office each year! If you want quality and care for your eyeballs then please do yourself a favor....Check out Eyes Plus in Kapolei. read more

Dr. Making is such a good eye doctor. My kids feel real comfortable with him. The staff there is so, so friendly. They're always so welcoming and smiling which makes it such a great place. We won't be going anywhere else!!! read more

Today, Dr. Makini personally left a voicemail for me to reach out and address my concerns. He is AWESOME! He also texted me later in the afternoon to follow up. Unfortunately, I have been in Trust Fund meetings all day long and finally have a moment to respond. Mahalo nui, Dr. Makini for you personal efforts to reach me and address my frustration. I appreciate that the bugs are being worked out and hoping following the transition it will work well. I'm old school and tech savvy as well... I love it when it works and certainly hate it when its messed up. I apologize I was unable to speak with you directly...MAHALO for all you do! Happy Holidays to you and your Ohana! read more

So friendly! Clean beautiful shop! Surprising to find and what a find! Great selection! I had a very specific frame color and have had trouble finding a frame I like in that color - they had 10+ to chose from! Staff was so friendly, careful, and professional! You MUST come here! read more

The staff is outstanding! Very courteous and accommodating as well. Dr. Henry was my Optometrist and he was very thorough with my eye exams, followed by his brief but highly detailed explanation of each procedure. Their office also has a great selection of frames and lenses. Dr. Makini also introduced me to his expertise in Children's Opth. which I was taken aback. I finally had the chance to make an eye appointment for my stepson which he diagnosed with an eye defect from birth. Just from a single appointment changed my stepsons life forever. Dr. Makini told me that he would excel even further academically. No joke within the next school quarter, my stepson received 4 awards, Honor Roll, GLO, Good Citizenship and perfect attendance. As of today, He continues to excel and has just received another award for Honor Roll. We couldnt thank you and your staff enough Dr. Makini! read more
