Your neighbors on Kailua Road
Eye care built for military families
From Marine Corps Base Hawaii to Kailua, Lanikai, and Kāneʻohe, military families are a huge part of who we serve. We understand the realities of military life — packed schedules, frequent moves, and kids who need their eyes checked before the school year — and we make it easy to get everyone squared away in one visit.
Out To See is family-owned and operated. Dr. Lauren Mordue handles the eye care; her husband Brian runs the business side. When you call, you're talking to one of us — not a call center on the mainland.
