Focused on Education, State-of-the-Art Treatments and Outreach
Primary, comprehensive eye doctors often refer patients to Eye Center of Hawaii because a retinal problem is suspected. Part of our exceptional care is providing a full explanation of the condition, in terms a layperson can understand, and a plan for treatment. Using innovative, 3D modeling programs, we educate patients on the systematic causes of blindness and counsel them and their families through the overwhelming possibility of sight loss and the potential options available to allow preservation of vision.
Our advanced technology ensures complete diagnosis and treatment for every patient. We diagnose conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, retinitis, uveitis, ocular tumors and use treatments including: optical coherence tomography, microperimetry, and fluorescein angiography.
In addition to the wide range of retina care services, Eye Center of Hawaii provides financial counseling for surgical procedures, assistance with transportation to surgery, information for hotel accommodation and vendor information for Durable Medical Equipment for retina recoveries.

You blink about 14,000–19,000 times a day, spreading tears that protect, nourish, and keep your eyes comfortable. Blinking is one of your eyes’ most important defense systems.
But did you know, you may not be blinking right? You may not be fully closing your eyes, or blinking enough? It can be one of the causes of dry eye and one of the MANY things we check for in our comprehensive screening. It’s one of the reasons our dry eye team has so many happy and relieved patients!
