As Bennett Eye Institute has been transformed into Eye Center of Hawai’i it's essential to acknowledge our history. In 1998, Dr. Michael Bennett laid the foundation for our journey, leading us to become the largest retinal practice in Hawai’I and one of the nation's leaders in research. However, as the landscape evolved, we recognized the need to differentiate ourselves, leading to our transition to Bennett Eye Institute. Now, as Eye Center of Hawai’i, we come full circle, reflecting our dedication to delivering exceptional care with expanded services.
In our new identity, we have embraced Wa’a “Canoe”. The canoe holds a profound significance in Hawaiian culture. We honor the spirit of the canoe, symbolically representing our commitment to guiding and supporting our patients on their journey to optimal eye health and vision.
This change signifies our renewed commitment to growth, expanded patient services, and unwavering dedication to both our physicians and staff. Over the years, we've seen remarkable growth and evolution within our practice, and this rebranding represents our vision for the future.
