Aloha Laser Vision First in Hawaii to Offer New Keratoconus Treatment
Aloha Laser Vision in Honolulu, Hawaii, has become the first in the state to offer Epioxa® for the treatment of Keratoconus.
Honolulu, HI, November 4, 2026 —
Honolulu, Hawaii – Aloha Laser Vision has introduced Epioxa®, a new treatment option for Keratoconus, marking a significant development for patients in Hawaii seeking advanced care for the progressive eye condition. The clinic announced it is the first facility in the state to offer this particular treatment.
Keratoconus is a condition where the normally round cornea—the clear outer layer at the front of the eye—thins and begins to bulge outward into a cone shape. This can cause distorted and blurred vision, and in some cases, can lead to significant vision impairment. The progression of Keratoconus typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and can continue for 10 to 20 years.
Epioxa® is a medical device intended for the treatment of Keratoconus. While the specific details of how Epioxa® works were not provided in the initial announcement, the introduction of new treatment modalities aims to offer patients more options for managing their condition. The availability of Epioxa® at Aloha Laser Vision is expected to benefit individuals who previously had to travel outside of Hawaii for similar specialized treatments.
Aloha Laser Vision is located in Honolulu and serves patients throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The addition of Epioxa® to their service offerings underscores a commitment to bringing advanced ophthalmic technologies to the local community. Further details regarding patient eligibility, treatment protocols, and outcomes associated with Epioxa® are expected to be made available by the clinic directly.
