Eric J Kawata, OD

Dr. Kawata and his staff are great. Dr. Kawata takes the time to get to know his patients and answer any of their questions. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure to address any issues you may be having with your eyes. I am so glad to have had care from him.

Dr. Miyasaka, was so great he has such a great manner in which he treats his patients. I was seeing another doctor and my husband has been coming here for years and I am so glad he finally convinced me to change my doctors. I have never had such great service and I’ve never had a doctor actually listen to me about my dry eyes and take care of it. It might be a bit of a commute for us to get here, but as long as this office is open, we will be life long customers, I look forward to bringing our daughter in for her first eye exam.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kawata for more than 20 years, as have my wife and now my son. He really gets to know his patients and clearly cares about them. But in all those years, today was an exceptional example. Earlier last week at work, I rubbed my eyes because they were tired, and the right one hurt. I didn’t think much of it, except it kept happening. I tried writing it off to eye strain but it kept bugging me. Yesterday, I went to urgent care and the doctor thought I had a case of conjunctivitis, even though my eye wasn’t especially red. She gave me some antibiotic eye drops and sent me home.
This morning, my eye was still as irritated as ever, so for the first time in 20 years, I finally broke down and called Dr. Kawata’s emergency contact number. He called me back in less than 20 minutes and gave me a better exam over the phone than the urgent care doc did in the office. He even had me take a selfie of my eye and message it to him. He said it’s a minor case of conjunctivitis as well, with perhaps some abrasion. He also told me the urgent care doc gave me a pediatric prescription for eye drops, which explains why they didn’t work. He gave me a new script with an anti-​inflammatory and its already feeling better. That kind of dedication is rare these days, and it’s just one of the many reasons I’ve kept going there.
His staff is super friendly as well, and I think the charges are more than fair for both exam services and the glasses themselves. It’s just a great all-​around operation!

Dr. Miyasaka was the first optometrist I had seen in nearly, if not more than, a decade. My eye sight was getting blurry and I kept getting headaches. Since Costco is always in a rush to get you in and out and sell you glasses, I decided to get a THOROUGH exam which I am very glad I did. I have peace of mind now knowing my eye sight is okay.
The ambiance is very relaxing, clean and professional. They are located in the first floor of a decent sized building. The workers are really friendlyand even funny, which was a pleasure to be around given that exams tend to be boring. Dr. Miyasaka was definitely more than helpful with all my questions. I would recommend every athlete to see him since he was an athlete himself. He definitely is the athlete’s choice.
All in all I will definitely be back to get my eyes re-​examined here. If you are struggling to read this then I suggest that you go see him right away! :)

Dr. Kawata has been our family optometrist since before I needed glasses! I personally have been a faithful Dr. Kawata patient since I first needed help seeing things a little closer, right around 1994 in the 4^th grade. I always highly recommend this office. The staff & doctors always make an effort to get to know the patients, their needs, what they like. Above & beyond customer service! Professional yet personal. I never feel rushed during an appointment and always feel like I’m treated with the utmost respect and care. This definitely sets Dr. Kawata apart from most other doctors. This office and staff has earned & deserves this 5 star rating! Rock on, Dr. Kawata! =)

Best optometry office ever! All the staff is very friendly! Dr. Kawata takes his time with all his patients and is very knowledgeable. I recently started using contacts and one of his front desk staff taught me how to use them. She was very patient and taught good techniques. I have had mediocre optometrists in the past and the best experience with Dr. Kawata and his office!
