Learn More About Us

Comprehensive Eye Care for Every Stage of Life

From preventive eye exams to advanced surgical procedures, we offer complete ophthalmic care under one roof.

Childhood and adolescence

Vision is still developing, and conditions like lazy eye, misalignment, or undetected nearsightedness can affect learning if missed early. We recommend a first comprehensive exam around age 3, then regular checkups through the school years.

Young adulthood

Whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or have naturally healthy vision, routine eye exams help protect your long-term eye health. Increased screen time, digital eye strain, and dry eye symptoms are also common during these years and can often be effectively managed.

Midlife

Glaucoma risk begins to rise in this range, and diabetic eye changes become more common, often with no noticeable symptoms. Regular exams and screenings catch changes while they are still easiest to manage.

Mature years

Cataracts become increasingly common, glaucoma monitoring continues to matter, and ocular surface conditions like pterygium and eyelid changes appear more often. Surgical and medical options can keep vision clear and comfortable.

-A.S.

"I had eyelid surgery last year and was very pleased with my results. Dr. Higa and his staff took the time to answer all my questions. The surgery was painless and my recovery, so far, has been super. I have already recommended my friends to see him!"

-

"Dr. Parlin patiently and thoroughly diagnosed and treated my wife’s worrisome eye issue. He gently put her concerns to rest, explaining her condition in easy to understand terms and prescribing common sense treatment. We highly recommend him!"

-F.D.

"I was apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect in having eyelid surgery.However, Dr. Higa is very professional & excellent. His assistants, staff are so wonderful, great in making me feel calm. Very good experience."

-

"He is a gentle, patient-centered doctor, very respectful and thoroughly explains the problem and suggested treatment. Unfortunately, I have twice had questions about my previous appointment with him at Aloha Eye Clinic and both times never received a return call from the clinic. This is not Dr. Parlin's fault. Aloha Eye Clinic is hopeless on returning patients' calls.."
