THE LAB

Crafted with Obsession in Our In-House Lab

We’re proud to have our own full-service optical lab, led by Master Lens Maker, Cory. Here, we only use ZEISS lenses — the gold standard for unmatched optical clarity.

Every lens is measured, cut, and edged in-house with near-obsessive precision to ensure perfect placement and alignment in your frame. We don’t just assemble glasses — we obsess over the smallest details so your vision is crisp, comfortable, and true.

Love your frame? Keep it. Whether your lenses are scratched, worn, or outdated, we can replace them the same day or close to it, right here in our lab. Your favorite frames deserve to live on — and we make that possible.

Because when you trust us with your vision, we treat every pair like it’s our own.

  • Finally! Beautifully stylish selection of quality eyeglass and sunglass frames! I just love my glasses! Great professional and friendly service. Didn’t feel rushed at all to try on many different type of frames. And it’s wonderful to have a honest second opinion on how the frames looked on me. I purchased a very high-quality brand of eyeglasses and I can tell a huge difference. My glasses are so comfortable and light weight.

  • "Dr. Mordue is so nice and easy to understand and she took into consideration how I use my glasses and tailored my Rx to my lifestyle. Everything went quick and smoothly. "

  • Love both my glasses and my sunglasses here! Dr. Mordue was incredibly helpful and understanding throughout the whole process! Also, amazing selection!

  • Best experience ever! The staff was so sweet and helpful. I usually feel awkward in these settings because I’m super picky but they were so accommodating and knowledgeable. Definitely going to come here again!

  • "Dr. Mordue was excellent. She explained the eye exam at length and how my eyes are progressing. She took the time to ensure that I understood everything she was explaining. She was so pleasant."

  • I saw Dr. Mordue on there so I booked fast! She is so pleasant, informative, and listens, like actually listens. She even let me try on my prescription that she was recommending, very minimal, and it was better than the prescription from my previous doctor."

  • "Dr Mordue is so nice and easy to understand and she took into consideration how I use my glasses and tailored my Rx to my lifestyle. Everything went quick and smoothly. "

  • Known Dr Lauren about 5 years now. She is very easy to talk to and explains everything in detail. For me it’s worth the drive to Kailua. Kill 2 birds with one stone, a scenic drive to the windward side and awesome eye care. You won’t be disappointed.

  • They totally did not disappoint. They’re conveniently located in front of Ulta so parking was not an issue. Everyone was super personable. The doc was very informative and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend and will def be bringing my kids back here.

  • Dr. Mordue and her team at Out to See offer Excellent Service. The store front is welcoming and comfortable. Hands down, 5-STAR Service with state of the art equipment.

  • Dr. Mordue is patient, enthusiastic and very knowledgable. The Out to See office is so welcoming and I can't wait to come back for my next appointment!
