Nice and modern place to get your eye exam and eye glasses. The doctor is very nice, and eye equipment is new and modern. The receptionists are friendly. Clean and comfortable inside. Easy online scheduling, and validated parking.

Came in to repair my glasses and ended up in the chair. Great staff , very friendly and knowledgeable. Many fine selections in eye wear. Great location.

Dare I say the best optometry office on island? UH, YES! I have been to a couple different optometrist (Costco one, one in Manoa, and one on Waialae) I would go with whoever had openings when I am available as I didn't feel like any of the optometrist I have been to have really wowed me. I can confidently say after seeing Dr. Jones I will never go to another optometry office again. He has the nicest equipment, he is thorough, he uses a different method other than the blowing air into your eye puff (for those that dread that), and you can tell he really loves his job. He took the time to answer my questions and review tips to better care for my eyes. Great glasses selection and they match 1-800 contacts prices! The lady at the front desk was so kind and helpful when I couldn't find the office! Plus, it was so easy to schedule an appointment (you can do it online or on the phone). Bonus, the office was also SO clean. Right across from Salt on the Highway Inn side. 10/10 recommend this place for anyone looking to get a new glasses or contacts prescription.

Ask the Community - Kaka'ako Eye Care

Do you do exams and provide service for gas permeable contact lenses?

Yes! We do RGPs of all sizes. Be sure to bring your previous contact lens prescription to make it a smooth and efficient process.

My wife and I are seniors and I don't believe we have any eye insurance coverage under medicare........what is the cost for a new patient eye exam?

Aloha Kim, We can bill Medicare for your visit. Your typical copays and deductibles would apply. If you need a contact lens exam, this is a small additional cost. If you have… Read more

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.

Excellent service! Great selection of frames my son was able to find a great pair at a wonderful…read moreprice. They were able to get his glasses with special lenses in about a couple of days and took time to fit them on this face. Seoul Optical was patient and understanding of our needs.

So a few months ago my computer glasses that I need for work broke so I tried calling my eye doctor…read moreto make an appointment to get a new set...the eye doctor that I've been seeing for almost 20 years, but...his number was out of service so I'm assuming he's retired. 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.

I am so glad someone recommended Dr Chun!! It was a great start from the appointment scheduling -…read moretalking to his wife Mia. Dr Chun is so awesome - you know he is vested in your eye health.

They have this cool retina scanner that you can pay extra for to get a better map of it, seemed pretty nifty! Dr Lai was very helpful and patient with any questions I had and everyone was really professional and nice with us. Their COVID practices seemed good too. Would highly recommend this place and intend to go here regularly for our yearly checkup! Oh one other thing, I have a weird issue with the drops that dilate your pupils. In the past when i got them I would be dilated and spacey looking for 48 hours. I told Dr Lai this and she used much weaker drops and it helped a lot! My appointment was at 10am and by 10pm my eyes were almost back to normal which is a huge improvement from other times. Thanks!!

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. AFTER everything is done, the staff presents me with a bill for over $800 (apparently they no longer take Medicare and/or my Advantage plan)!!! I went straight home and called my Advantage provider. 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!!!!
