Imagine life without glasses or contacts- everything in clear, bright, vibrant color. With Dr. Michael D. Bennett, this freedom and comfort is precisely what he strives to achieve every day for people who have chosen to entrust him with their eyes. Dr. Bennett received his B.A. in Chemistry from the University of Virginia while on a scholarship for swimming.

"Well worth the 3-hr drive I made to get to my first appt. I told Dr. Safi I will follow him anywhere. He’s the best. I trust him; he’s an Army doctor, and they see worse things up at Tripler because of the military exposure. And he’s always in a good mood; helps put you at ease. I recommend you guys to everyone."

Our next frame line: Lele: Inspired by the Hawaiian word for "to fly" or "to soar," these frames symbolize freedom and clarity. Rooted in the rich tradition of Hawaiian paddling, LELE embodies the spirit of the koaʻe bird, known for its impressive flight along the coastal cliffs. Our designer, a Hawaii-born paddler, crafted this line inspired by the 'olelo no'eau, “He koa’e manu o ka pali kahako” —a tribute to those who soar above the rest. Each frame in the LELE collection is designed to reflect the grace and agility of the koaʻe, symbolizing an outstanding person's journey. #LeleFrames #HawaiianInspiration #EyewearDesign #HawaiianCulture #OceanSpirit ...
