Patient Testimonials

Very thorough exam. Entire staff was very nice and professional. They made me and my 9 y/o son feel very comfortable during the entire exam and while choosing frames.

Doctor Iida was easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. She was very thorough and took the time to explain things. The staff was friendly and professional. One of them went out of their way to help me get my prescription lenses fitted onto a frame I already had. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to see Dr. Iida for a year now and I am very pleased with the service she provides. She is very detailed in communicating my issues and what I'm at risk for at my age. She gives options and recommendations on how to be proactive in caring for my vision. The staff there are awesome. They are really friendly, warm and accommodating. It's nice working with family run businesses like Makana Vision. I highly recommend Makana Vision and Dr. Iida.

Decided to give this place a try since I am always in the area- no regrets! Everyone is so nice and welcoming! Got my new glasses this week and I am happy I went!

Friendly staff and very knowledgeable and thorough doctor. Really appreciate the advice given for alternative contact lenses to improve my vision. Appointment reminders are also greatly welcomed!

Dr. Iida is very thorough in her examination, explaining what she is doing each step of the way and what she is monitoring for your eye health. At the end, she went over the photos that were taken of my eyes and provided her diagnosis of their present condition. She also had recommendations of possible choices for contact lenses but allowed me to choose what I wanted to do. I really appreciated the explanations and how she made me feel at ease.

Thank-you Dr. Iida for helping me to find and avert a potentially life changing condition. Your high-quality of care and compassion is the reason I will keep coming to see you.

Appreciated the baseline tests for glaucoma and cataracts. Very professional !

I’m pleased with the attentive, professional, caring service I received at my recent appointment with Dr. Iida. She explained things clearly and didn’t rush me when I had questions. Her front office staff/assistant, Lianne, is also very efficient, professional and personable. I highly recommend Makana Vision.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I’m very grateful to Dr. Iida. I came in convinced my eyes were falling apart due to allergies or mold or something. Dr. Iida figured out the issue. My eyes feel the best they’ve felt in months.
