    Wow I wish I knew about this place before spending ridiculous $$$ at Lens Crafters. I love Oakleys, I have a lot of Oakley products especially sunglasses. I wanted to get a new pair of Transitions because my two previous ones were made thru Lens Crafters and within no time, my lens were turning yellow. Anyway, I read about this place and decided to check it out. You would need an appointment to be seen, which was ok with me. The less people inside, the better their attention to your needs are. IMOP anyway. Carl and Darrell are very professional and explained their products. They have a great selection of Oakley frames that could be made with prescription lens. I found several that I liked but one actually stood out and I could not be more pleased with it. Talk about crystal clear. A few days into using them and I am impressed. With that being said, I am ordering another Oakley frame. And for some reason, Lens Crafters couldn't take both of my HMSA Insurances BUT Paradise Optical could! Which made things even cheaper!! I definitely would recommend this place, without a doubt. I hope to have another review saying these lens haven't turned color (crossing fingers lol)

    I have been a loyal customer of Paradise Optical for quite some time now, ever since they had their store at Pearlridge. I have always been impressed with the high-quality glasses they offer and the friendly and welcoming service I receive every time I visit the store. Daryl and the team have an amazing understanding of my eyewear needs, and they always provide me with the perfect glasses. I recently had a terrible experience at Walmart Vision Center when I went there to get my progressive glasses. I almost got into an auto accident because of the poor quality of the glasses I received. After that scary incident, I immediately headed to Paradise Optical and ordered a new pair of glasses. As expected, they did not disappoint me, and I am absolutely in love with my new Oakley glasses. Thank you, Darrell and everyone.

    Walk into this optical ship to browse eyeglass frames. I did NOT feel welcomed here. I was told that they were by appointment only and the two gentlemen behind the counter were rude. So I just left. Never experienced this level of customer service ever. I will never return to this shop and suggest to others to not make the same mistake as I did. Regardless of the response. Any small business in Waimalu should be appreciative of new business. I decided to take my business directly to Randolph.com where I got exactly what I wanted and a guarantee that my new purchase was appreciated by a company who knows how to show customers appreciation.

    Pacific Optical is the only retailer carrying Salt lenses made in Japan. Serving Professor Kukui titanium frames realness.

    "I see, therefore I am." Those are not the wise words spoken by the revered philosopher, but nonetheless, I stand by the sentiment. Paradise Optical prides itself on being the original optometrists in Hawaii. These "OG" opticians have found a niche in offering frames by designers not available at other locations on island. Japanese frames are all the craze. First to use titanium for durability and comfort. You'll be pleased with how light these frames are. There's a decent mix of designer and lifestyle brands. Lenses are custom ordered from Oregon and will be made in a few weeks. Appointments are required. You could be awkward and stare in the window at the frames while drinking boba from next door. Ring the doorbell for extra points. Parking is available in front of the store. Just be aware that it's a busy parking lot and the drivers are quite determined to get to their destination. And if you're shopping for glasses, chances are you can't see into the future as junk drivers zip by as you're backing out. Almost spilled my boba. 0 out of 10, do not recommend the parking. Love the frames, though.

    Paradise Optical- thanks Daryl !

    Paradise Optical has the BEST style and quality glasses and sunglasses. They treat you like a VIP customer and show they really care! Daryl made lenses to customize these Tory Burch frames...Paradise Optical is the best!

    I love coming here to buy my eye glasses! This is my second time buying from them. I love Ray Ban's and at Paradise Optical they have a great selection and it's pretty affordable. Although they don't accept my insurance, Darrell gave me an awesome deal that I couldn't pass up! He is so helpful and super friendly. I recommend checking it out! He also has a 2 year scratch warranty which is awesome for me cause I always end up with scratches on my lenses lol.

    Great customer service by Darrell! I'm a first timer shopping for glasses so I had no clue what to look for. Darrell definitely used his expertise, experience and overall awesome Aloha Customer service! I ended up paying for frames and lenses on sale. Glad I went here and highly encourage for anyone to do so. Skip Lenscrafters and Costco and go straight to him. Great brand names by Oakley, Porsche, and many more He has brought in a unique brand to islands. See pic. Frames made of high quality beautiful wood. Just fyi, Call first if u need your eyes checked out.

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. 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.

    Thank you to Dr. Wong, and his awesome staff for seeing me on such short notice. I had an…read moreunfortunate incident a few days back, and was hoping my eyes would get better. They didn't:( so I started searching for an eye doctor that could fit me in ASAP. I called a few places, many of which could not see me for a few weeks. I finally found Hawaii Vision Clinic and spoke to a super sweet receptionist who fit me in for this morning(called yesterday afternoon). I was checked in quickly, which was awesome given that their waiting area was full. Dr. Wong was quick but efficient and super easy to talk to. He was able to identify what was going on and gave me eye drops. I'm very happy to have found this office, and will be back again when I need to.

Well, I believe I have found a diamond in the rough with Camie Nakagawa-Kakuda, O.D. at Eye Care Associates of Hawaii - Waikele.
