About Simply Eyes Hawaii
Serving Honolulu for over 40 years. Appointments here aren’t rushed, our doctors ask about your work, your hobbies, your family’s eye history, before they ever pick up an instrument.
Patients come to us for a routine exam, new glasses, or ongoing management of a condition like glaucoma or dry eye. Often the same doctor sees you year after year, which makes it easier to catch small changes early.
Our Story
Simply Eyes Hawaii traces its roots to Kaimukī, where the late Dr. Lawrence Yamamoto first opened his optometry practice. He later joined two fellow optometrists in a group practice at Ala Moana Shopping Center before opening his own office in the Ala Moana Building in the 1980s.
In 1987, Dr. Daniel Yamamoto joined the practice, caring for generations of Honolulu patients and helping continue its longstanding tradition of personalized eye care.
Dr. Tracie Inouchi joined the practice in 2002, and in 2025 she and Dr. Sherry Wong established Simply Eyes Hawaii with a fresh vision for modern, patient-centered eye care. The practice relocated to its current home in the eleven50 building at 1150 S King St #201, near McKinley High School in Makiki, beginning a new chapter centered on compassionate service, clear communication, and lasting relationships with patients and families.
While the Simply Eyes Hawaii name is new, the practice’s roots in Honolulu go back over 40 years. Today, Simply Eyes Hawaii combines decades of clinical experience with a modern approach to comprehensive eye care. That commitment to thoughtful, personalized care continues to guide everything we do.
