Optometrist in Pearl City

We recommend annual comprehensive eye exams for patients of all ages. Regular exams are especially important if you have diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, wear contact lenses, or have noticed recent vision changes. Children should have their first exam at 1 year old, then continue annually.

It is important to identify eye conditions at an early stage so treatment can begin as soon as possible. Many eye conditions can be corrected if detected early. We recommend a baby's first comprehensive eye exam at 1 year old. During the exam, we test for nearsightedness, farsightedness, significant astigmatism, and eye health problems.

In most cases the answer is "Yes!" There are several lenses on the market made especially for people with astigmatism — daily, monthly, and frequent-replacement options depending on your prescription. Color contact lenses for astigmatism are not available at our practice. Schedule a contact lens evaluation to find the best option for your eyes.

The pupil regulates how much light enters the eye. During a standard exam, only a portion of the internal eye is visible while pupils are in their natural state. Dilating drops temporarily enlarge the pupils so your doctor can evaluate more of the retina and optic nerve for conditions such as retinal tears, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic changes. At Clear Sight Hawaii, Optos ultra-widefield imaging captures about 82% of the retina in one image — often without dilation. If we see something that requires further investigation, we may still need to dilate your eyes — but you can schedule that for another day if needed.

We accept HMSA, UHA, UnitedHealthcare, AlohaCare, VSP, EyeMed, Tricare, Tricare for Life, Tricare Retirees, Medicare, and Medicaid. See our insurance page or call us to verify your specific plan before your appointment.
