Explore Vision Correction Options
Presbyopia is a condition characterized by a gradual decline in the ability to focus on near objects. This can occur when a patient reaches their 40s and the eye’s lens begins to lose its flexibility. Generally considered part of the natural aging process, presbyopia cannot be cured; rather, it can often be managed and treated with solutions like glasses, monovision, and refractive lens exchange (RLE).
Also referred to as “ASA” (or “advanced surface ablation,”) photorefractive keratectomy is a type of refractive laser eye surgery aimed at correcting various vision issues, from myopia (nearsightedness) to farsightedness and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK surgery, PRK can reshape the cornea’s surface without the creation of a flap, which may be the better option for certain patients. When performed by an eye care professional, PRK is associated with successful outcomes and improvements in visual acuity.
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia. The surgery involves the removal of the eye’s natural lens, which is then replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) tailored to the patient’s specific vision correction needs. This procedure can be particularly beneficial for those who are over the age of 40 and have not had success with other popular treatments.
Lasik
Aloha Laser Vision is proud to offer LASIK, the most advanced and sought-after refractive surgery available today. The procedure aims to precisely reshape the cornea, reduce dependence on glasses and contacts, and ultimately provide sharper, clearer vision. Our eye doctors are proficient in LASIK and customize each treatment plan to meet the patient’s needs.
EVO ICL™
The EVO ICL™ is a popular, versatile, and reversible vision correction option that can address myopia with or without astigmatism. Dr. Alan Faulkner was the first physician in Hawaii to offer this additive technology, having participated in its FDA study. When you come to our practice for your EVO ICL treatment, you can expect impeccable care and a top-quality experience.
Cataracts
Cataracts are extremely common among Americans over 65. Thankfully, however, the condition is typically very treatable in the hands of a seasoned eye care professional. At Aloha Laser Vision, you will find various potential solutions for your cataracts, all of which employ the latest technology and surgical techniques.

Your Path to Better Vision At Any Age
The eyes age as the rest of the body does, and patients become more susceptible to certain concerns (e.g. cataracts and glaucoma) as they reach their 60s and onward. No matter your age, accompanying health needs, or other individual concerns, Aloha Laser Vision strives to guide you through a personalized journey to better vision, providing the highest standards of care along the way. Embrace a clearer tomorrow with our comprehensive eye care solutions – tailored for every stage of life!
18-45
From age 18-45, most people are active and “on the go.” Because vision generally stabilizes in adulthood, now is likely a great time to eliminate the hassles and costs associated with glasses and contacts. Our advanced correction procedures address vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Additionally, we treat every patient as an individual, aiming to highlight their unique eye care needs and specific goals.
40+
As we reach our 40s, the lenses inside our eyes can gradually become less flexible, making it more difficult to focus on close objects (a condition known as presbyopia). The risk of developing eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration may also increase with age. Our compassionate physicians are here to monitor your ocular health during this period and manage any phenomena you may notice.
60+
Around the time we enter our 60s, we often see significant changes in our eye health. These issues frequently include glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration. Now more than ever, it is essential to have a reputable team of physicians on standby to regularly perform exams, as it is crucial to detect and manage these conditions as efficiently as possible.

I am so grateful to the Aloha Laser Vision Team, specifically Dr. Neola Nipoor and Dr. Elizabeth Hanohano-Hong, and the counselors for making me feel so well cared for. I was really nervous prior to get the Lasik procedure, but the team did a through examination and walked me through the entire process. All of the pre-operative visits, the operation itself, and the post-operative visit was a seamless process and recommend anyone considering it…to just do it or at least inquire.
I have absolutely adored being able to wake up and see my fiancé clearly, and to be able to watch the sunrise without having to put on glasses or contacts. I love that we were able to take a trip to Big Island without the fuss of worrying about extra contacts or packing cleaning solutions. Being able to birdwatch on Big Island and spot rare species with better than perfect vision (20/15) has been in INCREDIBLE blessing. Mahalo nui loa Dr. Faulkner.
