I have had a very difficult time getting a great prescription over the past few decades, and as a result I've had some difficulties with my progressive lenses performing well, until now. I'm so incredibly happy with my new prescription and the lenses that I had created through Dr Gandia's office, I had to tell you all about it. A few years earlier I had a very thorough exam, prescription and lenses created by another very well respected optometrist in Lihue, at the cost of about $200 more, and they were not as accurate or as perfectly focused as these new eye glass lenses that Dr Gandia and her great staff have now created for me. I'm extremely appreciative of Garden Island Eye Care's services and excellence!

Off the bat, I can tell you that Crane supports VSP, which is a big plus because "Pacific Eye Center" does not! You'll easily spend over $500 for a nice pair @ Pac. Eye center... The selection here is great! It's catered to Kauai's unique clientele. They had all the good brands! Ray ban, Oakley, Maui Jim to name a few. So much selection- it took me a while to choose. Staff is super friendly and courteous! The whole office staff helped me choose the best sunglasses for work, play and special occasions- I liked the selection so much, I bought 3 pairs! I will be returning here for all my prescription eyewear needs for sure. 5 stars for the staff, service and selection!

Dr. Punzal uses quality Zeiss equipment and their optician has name brand frames. Glad that I chose this clinic to care for my eyes.

I also have a friend who went to her recently and said that it was the worst experience he's ever had on all counts. I did read one other review by another person who had a worse experience than I did--thank goodness mine was not a surgery like that patient.*** The absolute worst experience I've ever had on all counts. I would rank them MINUS 10 if I could. Reasons: Months to get an appointment and I gave them 3 reasons that I needed care; I told receptionist 3 reasons I needed care; After over 2 1/2 hours WAIT, I told technician what I needed testing for and problems. I waited longer!!!, then when the doctor finally saw me, she did not even seem concerned that the tech had not tested me for the indications I had asked. She looked in my eyes with her little light and said make another appointment. NO apology, no empathy. When I explained to receptionist that I had already paid for the visit, but would like one on a day that I would not have to wait hours and that I would like to have a Free appointment, she said, "Oh, Doctor's time is too valuable and she Always has a wait. You MUST pay." I said, "I MUST find another doctor. I wish that I could bill you for your discourtesy and for wasting my time, not to mention that my health needs were NOT met." Do you have 4 hours to waste for not getting your eye needs met? I certainly do not.
