Lau Franklin Y Dr Optometrist

I needed to get my annual eye exam but my existing doctor was not avaialble so I searched the web for a new eye doctor. I found Dr. Lau on Unilocal and I was very impressed by the reviews. I got the appointment and I must say that I was very impressed by Dr. Lau. He is very thorough and doesn’t rush through my exam. He explains things in details and I really like that.
He’s easy going and comes across very genuine. I totally trust him. He’s very likeable. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs their eyes checked. Awesome!

I have changed eye doctors a few times, but I found a keeper! Dr. Lau is very polite and professional. He is very informative and thorough. I went to an eye doctor in one of the big box stores in the past, and my exam was really short and rushed, with a lot of people waiting their turn. When I go to Dr. Lau, my visit can take up to an hour. He does numerous tests, explains along the way, and I always leave feeling more informed about my eye health. I always opt for the high tech eye scan, and was fascinated when he showed me some samples of serious eye and health conditions. I have never had to wait for my appointment. If my appointment is at 9, I am seen at 9. I think it’s very considerate when doctors don’t over-​schedule their patients. Our time is valuable too, and I appreciate that they respect that. He is located at Kahala Mall in the office building across Longs, so there is never a problem finding parking. Highest recommendation for Dr. Franklin Lau!

The BEST. Dr. Lau is kind, easy going & and very thorough. I’ve been going to him for about 7 years & I’ve always been 100% sure that my eyes & vision are being cared for by someone who knows his stuff. You never feel rushed, he takes his time & answers questions. Highly recommended!

I went to Dr. Lau’s at the recommendation of my co-​worker. I am glad I did.
As a previous Unilocaler mentioned, he is extremely thorough. I like that. When he did the optomap, which allows you to forgo getting your eyes dilated (YAY!), he pulls it up on the computer and explains what he sees in your eye. He even showed me examples of eyes where someone has diabetes and explained what a healthy eye should look like. It was extremely informative.
Also, I was interested in wearing contacts, so Dr. Lau gave me tips on how to use them. He even got his employee to take the time to help me practice putting my contacts in and taking them out. I previously tried to wear contacts a decade ago, but I got so frustrated – because I didn’t really know how to put them in and take them out – as my old optometrist never explained it to me.
And to top it off, when I ordered my contacts, Dr. Lau knew that I was going on a trip to the mainland, so he gave me extra contact samples to hold me over during my trip until I returned to Hawaii!
Dr. Lau is five stars all around. He is professional, informative, and nice. And if you look around the office, you’ll notice he likes Mickey Mouse. What’s not to like about this place!

My family has been going to Dr. Lau for many years, and we all like him a lot! He is not the chatty type, but he has a lot of experience and can get you in and out of an eye exam quickly. His staff is also friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this office!

I have been seeing Dr. Lau for the past 22 years! He is such a kind person, and very thorough. I like how he takes time to explain things, instead of rushing me out the door. After a couple of bad experiences, my husband also started going to him, and loves him!
Dr. Lau has this special machine called an optomap, which isn’t covered by insurance ($ 30 or so), that is a must! It not only tells you your eye health but also your whole body health! Well, at least some of it ;)
I totally recommend him!!! The office staff is really nice too!
