Our Honolulu Eye Doctors
At Simply Eyes Hawaii, our Honolulu eye doctors provide personalized, compassionate care for patients of all ages. Whether you need a routine exam, contact lens fitting, eyeglasses, eyeglass lenses or help managing an eye condition, our experienced optometrists take the time to listen and care for your vision like family.
Serving Honolulu Families for Over Four Decades
Simply Eyes Hawaii has its origins in Kaimuki, where the late Dr. Lawrence Yamamoto first opened his optometry practice. He subsequently joined two fellow optometrists to form a group practice at the Ala Moana Shopping Center before establishing his own independent practice in the Ala Moana Building in the 1980s. In 1983, Dr. Daniel Yamamoto — no relation — joined the practice, and by 1987 had taken over as sole practitioner, building Ala Moana Eye Center into one of Honolulu’s most trusted names in eye care.
Dr. Tracie Inouchi joined the practice in 2002, and in 2025 she and Dr. Sherry Wong took the reins — relaunching the practice as Simply Eyes Hawaii and moving to a new home at the eleven50 building on S. King Street near McKinley High School.
That founding commitment to personalized, unhurried care remains at the heart of everything we do today.
- Comprehensive family eye care, specialty contact lenses, medical eye conditions
- Comprehensive eye exams, contact lenses, ocular disease co-management
Three Doctors. One Practice. Better Care.
At Simply Eyes Hawaii, our three optometrists bring complementary expertise — specialty contact lenses, medical eye care, dry eye management, and ocular disease co-management — giving patients access to a breadth of knowledge that’s rare in a single independent practice.
With three doctors on the team, we’re also able to offer availability that larger, busier practices often can’t. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden change in vision or just need to get your keiki seen before school starts, we’ll find a time that works.
And over time, you’ll build a real relationship with your doctor — someone who knows your history and is invested in your long-term vision health. No rotating staff, no starting over.
