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.

I always feel sorry for whoever has to help me. It usually takes me 45-60 minutes. I tend to get the same style. I know what I like. I warned Maria that I take a long time to find one, but also showed her my two glasses that I currently wear. I was pleasantly surprised that she was able to bring me 8 -10 similar styles. 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 will go back for contact lenses as well.

Front desk, waiting area, ALL machines are clean. Did I mention the front desk? ALL of them came from hospitality. Friendly, helpful, and kind. Have a question? They'll answer it, and if they don't have an answer, they'll help to get it. My family and I have been seeing Dr. Saito since his previous location. He's personable and makes everyone in our family feel welcomed and cared for. He has a knack for kids and treats us adults like his old friends. We all feel comfortable seeing him and enjoy visiting his office (never a drag). He always stays up to date with the latest technology to help care for our eyes. He is patient and always willing to answer any questions you may have. We definitely recommend Dr. Saito!

I was in a bind. My regular eye doctor was out of town and I needed to find someone that could see…read moreme asap (same day). My eyes were red and inflamed and nothing I did helped overnight to stop the swelling. It literally went down south within 24 hours. I did a quick Yelp search for doctors around kaimuki. If not, I would have probably just tried urgent care. I stumbled about this Yelp page and noticed it was nearby and open late so I could hopefully get an appointment later in the day. Luckily for me - they took me as a new patient and I was squeezed in towards the end of the day. The office is on the second floor in the kaimuki plaza building across the two major municipal lots. They advised me to park in those lots - the meter one is actually cheaper than the one next to it. I then checked in, gave my Id and insurance card and answered a few questions on a iPad, then met with Dr. Richard M. He was very nice and patient for the first meeting. It went fairly fast and I was out of there within 30 minutes. My eye drops were sent to a nearby pharmacy and was ready to pick up when I got there. I did a follow up appointment today to see how my eye and face was doing and it is so much better than 2 days ago! I'm so lucky to have gotten a last minute appointment because I really don't think that my swollen eye and face would have healed on it's own if I didn't go.

They are the best!

Hi I love my doc, Dr. Bossert , but I'm really upset that this office switched to nearly only TEXT…read morefor appointments. The process literally has me in tears at first. I was shocked. This is just cruel to their patients. My husband had a detached retina and Dr. Bossert saved him. Now he could never get in to see her. Apparently they just switched in March 2026. FINALLY and thankfully I got someone on the phone and she helped me. I was VERY grateful but I really hope this text thing isn't a trend for the future for all doc offices. I still would recommend them because their doctors are top notch. But the appointment system is really impossible right now. Hope it can change.

Ronald Winkelman is seriously a treasure. He is quick, professional, gets right to the point, and…read moreis extremely informative in a casual way. I seriously was in and out of the office in less than 10 minutes. I've been going to him for years, and have referred several of my friends, all very happy. I recently went in for computer glasses. Basically glasses that are designed to focus at the distance of a computer screen. I picked up two and leave them at each of my desks, and only use them there. They are very different from reading glasses, as they address my specific astigmatism, and required corrections. My regular bifocal glasses work, but I needed to tilt my head all the way back to use the reading area...it was driving me nuts. Ronald gave me the suggestion/solution, and my only regret was not talking to him about years ago. He said it's not very common for people to get computer glasses like this, but when they do, they always exceed expectation. Mahalo Dr. Winkelman!

Once I submitted their online form, I got a call back and Robert left me a detail message including pricing. He said to go in for Aiea location for the consultation. The day I went in, the office looked really cluttered and unorganized. I saw muliple personal items of the staffs just left around in the office... When I was doing the eye exam, I could not see well on one eye, was wondering why....then after a while I figured their machine lense was dirty, and I had to tell the Dr. it was the lense. I have never had that happen to me at an eye doctor before. The price I got over the phone was 4100 dollars for military dependent. My friend who was also a military dependent at the time paid 3800 for both eyes. I negotiated with the Dr. and he said he could do it for 3900. A month later, I got a bill for thier FREE consultation priced over $240. I was stunned because on the website it said free and even the day of the consultation, I made sure with the receptionist as well. (Matter fact I have never seen any eye doctor who does not do free consultation for lasik). I called the office to have the matter corrected numerous times and the lady who is in charge of billing never picks up her phone so I left voice messages every time, yet NEVER calls me back. I went on their website again and they clearly say free consultation. On top of that, now I found the price list for lasik and they quoated me higher price than what it is listed on their websited even after the negotiation. This business is a scam. I would never ever get anything done here if I were you. I totally believe the one star review someone else left about this Dr. office.

This year, I decided it was time to have cataract surgery. After the consult with Dr. Schmidt, we decided to have multi-focal interocular lenses put in. The results are MIRACULOUS! No need for contacts or glasses. I see everything better at all distances. The world is brighter and colors are more vibrant. Dr. Schmidt operated on one eye, then two weeks later, the second. The procedure was painless and recovery quick. If you're eligible, do not hesitate to get it done. I highly recommend the multi-focal solution even though you may have to pay out-of-pocket. Dr. Schmidt is truly expert, and he's done over 10,000 procedures. Beyond his surgical skill and expertise, he leads his team well. They are all well trained and motivated. Special shout-outs to office manager Ashley, who's the best. She told me to say that in my review :-) but it is true. She's the perfect wingman to Dr. Schmidt and between the two of them, they addressed every question and concern in easily understood terms. Mykaela and Vy were my techs, and they are just as good. They are personable and professional, ensuring Dr. Schmidt has all the info he needs when he conducts his exams. The front office team that greets and schedules follow up is very sharp and engaging. I cannot imagine a better experience than I had with this truly life-changing procedure.
