IF YOU NEED A GOOD EYE DOCTOR ON OAHU LOOK NO FURTHER, I HAVE FOUND HIM FOR YOU!!!!!
Dr. Paul R. Lin
Optometrist
Honolulu Walmart
808.949.EYES (3937)

He is not paying me to advertise for him, but when you have seen SEVERAL eyes doctors and are EXTREMELY unsatisfied even ANGRY that some of them call them selves Optometrist it is excited to find an AMAZING one!!!!!!   He actually tells you exactly what is going on each step of the exam and explains everything so that you understand it, not in Optometrist terms so you have no clue what they are talking about.
He was a breathe of fresh air, especially when a week earlier I was told from a different optometrist that he would not give me a contact prescription.  WHAT??????  I could not function with out contacts, how would I go swimming, surf, workout, etc. etc.  That was why I knew I NEEDED a second opinion.  And he said that I was going to have to wear safety glasses.  What are those anyway??? 
That was a bad day, but luckily I was blessed and I found Dr. Lin.
Now I have new contacts and NORMAL glasses, YAY!!!!!

Things are also looking good on the uveitis in my left eye.  I was recently given an Avacton/ steriod shot and my eye responded well, in fact my vision went from 20/400 to 20/40.  Not bad!
They check me in a month and if all is good then hopefully I AM CURED :) wishful thinking.  If I have still having problems I am headed to the operating room. Surgery.

YAY!! Man have you had eye issues, huh? I'm glad that you finally found a doc you like. Hopefully your eyes will continue to do well with the shot because nobody like surgery!

Yay! I'm glad you found a good doctor! I hate doctors that talk to you like you're retarded. It's nice when they talk to you like a person! Good luck with your eye!!
