    Choosing the frame for my new pair of reading glasses
    Paul C.

    ***3.5 STARS*** I first heard of Paris Miki (PM) back in the 1990's when I worked in Waikiki. There was a colleague who would come here for her optical needs. Back in those days PM was located on the Mauka side of Kalākaua Ave, just after you pass the intersection of Kalākaua and Beach Walk. To my memory, I recall this location as a small one but my colleague just loved it here for the location and the bilingual staff. Paris Miki hails from Japan and boasts as a large optical chain not only in Japan but international (Europe, Asia and Australia) as well. They opened in Hawaii in the late 70's and moved from Kalākaua Ave to Ala Moana Center in 2007. They are now located on the Makai side of the mall not to far from popular eatery Assagio's. The main reason I come here is because my optometrist is in PM. I appreciate the convenience, ample mall parking as well as the large selection of frames to choose from. I recently came to PM for the annual eye exam and got another pair of reading glasses as one of my spares recently broke after 8 years of use. With my new prescription on hand, I glanced at the many frames to select from. I do find the 2 floor staff as standoff-ish. Being a Japanese company, one would expect at least a greeting (welcome, good morning, how are you doing today, how may I help you, do you see anything you like, etc.) as you walk in and browse their spacious, large showcase. But NO greeting whatsoever. Perhaps it's the atmosphere they are trying to be portrayed as a high-end optical provider? My glasses are only for reading and I was looking for something that was lightweight, yet fashionable. It did take me some time to finally select one but I was fortunate for the female staff to provide me with options as I informed her what colors and styles piqued my interest. I thank my lucky stars that day I went as PM had the particular AND the lenses for my prescription. The staff gave me the option to come back in about an hour. She even offered to call me when ready but I had a dental appointment just after my optical one so by the time I was done with the dentist my new glasses were ready for pick up. I came back after my dental appointment and my new pair of reading glasses were indeed ready. They made a slight adjustment as the frame was a tad bit tight. I also brought my other pair (also purchased at PM that was loose and they tightened it up for me at no cost. Regarding the insurance forms, PM completes them for you so all you need to do is sign and the deductible portion will be mailed via check to you. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and product selection at PM. However, the staff could be more energetic and welcoming as patrons have other options, especially with nearby neighbor Lens Crafters or economical outlets of Costco or Sam's Club. I noted this concern also mentioned in multiple Yelp reviews and perhaps the management and staff can make necessary adjustments, if they choose to.

    My Mom and I fly from the Big Island to get fitted for our glasses at Paris Miki on Oahu simply because it is the best (and the Big Island lacks quality options for eyeglass frames). The frames at Paris Miki have a professional and classy style. Lucas and Moe provide outstanding service and are seriously just the nicest people who genuinely care about their customers. I can't emphasize that enough! Dr. Hara is also wonderful and easy to talk to. My mom and I love everyone here because they make shopping for glasses such a pleasant, fun experience. I had my glasses ordered and sent to me in Seattle (which are beautiful Diva frames), and Moe even included this sweet note in the box (see attached photo). She also included a list of Washington Paris Miki locations so if I need to get my glasses cleaned or adjusted, I can do so conveniently. How sweet and genuine is that? It made me so happy! Thank you so much, Paris Miki! You are all so sweet and wonderful! We can't wait to see you soon.

    Absolutely excellent! Paris Miki is a chain from Japan and their customer service is definitely much like Japan's. Their selection is very extensive and they'll even custom order glasses without the pressure for you to purchase. They have 20% off everything sale in July and December I believe, you can call to check. Their lenses can be more expensive but I promise the quality of it is spectacular. I've been to many other places and nothing lasts as long as Paris Miki's lenses. I used to get the Seiko lenses which were ridiculous but I've opted for the regular lenses (right above polycarbonates) and it really wasn't too bad in price. The glasses are well below MSRP. It was about $20 cheaper than what you'll find at other optical shops. If you couple that with 20% off, then the lenses being a little more expensive will all balance out. I'm done shopping at other optical shops. Paris Miki is the one for me.

    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.

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. 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!!!!
