Serving Honolulu Families for Over Four Decades
Simply Eyes Hawaii’s roots trace back to the 1970s, when the practice first opened its doors in Kaimuki. Over the decades, that tradition of personal, unhurried eye care has continued through several generations of doctors, including Dr. Daniel Yamamoto and, later, Dr. Tracie Inouchi. Read our full story to learn more.
Since January 2025, Dr. Inouchi and Dr. Wong have led the practice from its home in the eleven50 building on South King Street near McKinley High School, continuing the same values that have defined this practice for over 40 years.
While our roots are grounded in decades of clinical experience, Simply Eyes Hawaii is focused on delivering contemporary eye care tailored to today’s patients. That commitment to personalized, unhurried care remains at the heart of everything we do.
