Meet the experienced and friendly staff who make The Eye Place a proud provider of vision care products and services

OWNER, CEO & OPTOMETRIST

Dr. Melissa Almarales

Dr. Almarales has 16 years of experience in primary eyecare and disease management. After graduation in 2005 she grew a private practice in Indiana to be one of the most prestigious in the state.

She is an avid traveler and her travels brought her to Molokai in 2016.

While visiting she recognized the need for eye care on the island. In 2018 she returned to volunteer her time to provide free exams and glasses to Keiki on Molokai.

In January 2019 she started practicing part time on island. Quickly Dr. Almarales recognized the need in Molokai for full time eye care and made the decision to sell her practice in Indiana and provide full time care on the island.

When not in the office she loves the beach and just about any adventure she can take with her three kids and husband Gerard.
