Hawaii’s own Michael Bennett, MD, FACS has been named to the prestigious Ocular Surgery News’ Retina 150 – an elite group of retina specialists and surgeons. An innovator in the field of retina surgery, Dr. Bennett is an internationally recognized leader in the field of medical and surgical retina.
This acknowledgment marks a positive impact for the people of Hawaii by having a local ophthalmologist with such an honor.
“I am privileged to be able to represent my community as part of such an elite and talented group of surgeons and specialists. Giving patients in Hawaii the availability to such innovative technology and the latest in custom vision care is what our practice, Eye Center of Hawaii, is all about,” states Michael Bennett, MD, FACS.
The retina plays a critical role in vision — if it is damaged, the brain won’t be able to receive visual information, which can result in permanent blindness. Often, the first signs of damage are hard to notice. By the time you notice a decrease in vision quality, the damage is irreversible. In fact, Age Related Macular Degeneration, a retinal disorder, is the leading cause of blindness and vision loss in Americans 65 and older.

As Bennett Eye Institute has been transformed into Eye Center of Hawai’i it's essential to acknowledge our history. In 1998, Dr. Michael Bennett laid the foundation for our journey, leading us to become the largest retinal practice in Hawai’I and one of the nation's leaders in research. However, as the landscape evolved, we recognized the need to differentiate ourselves, leading to our transition to Bennett Eye Institute. Now, as Eye Center of Hawai’i, we come full circle, reflecting our dedication to delivering exceptional care with expanded services.
In our new identity, we have embraced Wa’a “Canoe”. The canoe holds a profound significance in Hawaiian culture. We honor the spirit of the canoe, symbolically representing our commitment to guiding and supporting our patients on their journey to optimal eye health and vision.
This change signifies our renewed commitment to growth, expanded patient services, and unwavering dedication to both our physicians and staff. Over the years, we've seen remarkable growth and evolution within our practice, and this rebranding represents our vision for the future.
