I had an excellent visit to the Eye Center of Hawaii, Kona location on the Big Island. Scheduling was a breeze, and I was able to secure a convenient appointment with minimal wait time. The eye exam itself was thorough, conducted by top-notch doctors who took the time to explain the results in plain language and answer all my questions. After the exam, I discussed contact lenses and was impressed by the options and guidance provided. The staff helped me choose the right lens type and ensured I had the proper fittings. Overall, it was a smooth, professional experience from check-in to check-out, and I left confident in my eye care plan. Highly recommended for anyone seeking efficient appointments and high-quality optometry.

I had such a great experience at Eye Care Center of Hawaii! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. The environment felt clean, comfortable, and well-organized, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free. A special shoutout to my friend who works there—she truly goes above and beyond to make patients feel at ease and taken care of. You can tell the team really cares about what they do and takes pride in providing quality service. The doctors were knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. I never felt rushed, and all my questions were answered with patience. Overall, I highly recommend Eye Care Center of Hawaii if you’re looking for excellent eye care and a friendly, supportive team!

I recently visited the Eye Center of Hawaii, Kailua-Kona location, and was blown away by how smoothly everything went. I brought in my glasses for a quick repair, and they not only diagnosed the issue immediately but also had both frames and lenses in stock on-site. No shipping, no waiting weeks — I walked out with a repaired pair in under an hour. The staff were friendly, communicative, and clearly well-trained in handling a range of frame types. The ability to complete the repair on-site saved me a lot of time and hassle, and the overall experience made a normally stressful task feel effortless. If you need rapid glasses service, no nonsense delays, this is the place to go.

Excellent experience at this eye doctor’s office from start to finish. The staff was welcoming, organized, and made the check-in process quick and easy. The doctor was incredibly thorough during the exam, taking the time to explain each step and answer all my questions without rushing. I really appreciated how clearly they broke down my prescription and offered recommendations. The office itself was clean, modern, and comfortable, which made the visit even more pleasant. They also had a great selection of frames, and the team helped me find a pair that suited my style

After a family member of ours had a brain tumor resection. We visited with Dr. Safi for a follow up due to some vision concerns. , Dr. Safi and the entire staff made us comfortable and answered any questions we had. The thoroughness during our appointment was amazing. We left there with peace of mind. Thank you Dr. and your amazing staff.
