Did you know that natural light—especially blue light—is essential for keeping your sleep, mood, and health on track? For seniors, it's even more important. But here’s the catch: as we age, our eyes absorb less of that vital blue light.
That’s because aging lenses—and especially cataracts—block the light our brains need to regulate sleep and keep our circadian rhythms healthy. 😴✨ Less blue light = less melatonin = more sleep problems, mood swings, and even higher health risks.
But there’s good news: studies show that cataract surgery doesn’t just improve vision—it may also help restore natural sleep patterns, boost mood, and sharpen mental clarity. 🧠💡

Misfires, Malfunctions & Eye Trauma 🚑
Even “safe” fireworks can turn deadly.
It’s not just user error — misfires, dud explosions, faulty fuses — all common, all dangerous.
👉 CPSC found nearly half of inspected fireworks had illegal or unsafe contents.
👉 Malfunctions caused multiple deaths & severe injuries, even with “proper use.”
👉 16% of fireworks injuries are eye injuries, leading to burns, ruptures, and permanent vision loss.
👁️ Fireworks-related eye trauma is an emergency:
❌ Don’t rub
❌ Don’t rinse
❌ Don’t apply pressure
📞 Call 911 immediately
This year, choose safety over spectacle.
Your eyes will thank you.

Our Story

For over 44 years, Hawaiian Eye Center's mission has been to provide first-class medical and surgical eye care to the people of Hawaii. Our legacy began in October 1975 when founder John Corboy, M.D., who now heads the nonprofit Hawaiian Eye Foundation, opened the first Hawaiian Eye Center office. He helped establish our drive to bring the most advanced technology to our patients and opened the first outpatient eye surgical facility in Hawaii. He began our quest to provide modern advanced outpatient eye surgery and high-quality care with a personal touch.

Hawaiian Eye Center continues to provide top-notch eye care with a wide range of services, including eye exams, care of chronic eye diseases, surgery for cataracts and glaucoma and even transportation to and from our surgical facility for those who need it.
