David Orson, O.D.

Locations Served: Lee’s Summit


Dr. David Orson was inspired at a young age to enter the field of optometry by his own eye doctor, who helped him achieve comfortable and clear vision for the first time. Dr. Orson completed his BS in Biology at Pittsburg State University, before earning his Doctor of Optometry with Honors from the University of Houston College of Optometry.

In 1994, Dr. Orson settled down in the Lee’s Summit area to provide primary and medical eye care, including glaucoma treatment and diabetes and inflammatory eye disease, to patients of all ages. He loves getting to know his patients and educating them both about their current vision and how their eyes may change over time.

He’s also involved in optometry on the city, state, and national levels, as a member of the American Optometric Association, the Missouri Optometric Association, and the Optometric Society of Greater Kansas City.

Dr. Orson is committed to getting to know his patients and helping them understand how their eye health — and vision — can improve.

Dr. Orson’s love of the south was instilled from his childhood in Olathe, KS, and he always intended to return to the region. He loves spending time with his family, which includes his wife of nearly three decades Kati, his four grown children, and his growing grandkids.

In what little free time he has left over after accounting for work and family time, he enjoys woodworking, playing guitar, and loud music. Dr. Orson’s dreams include hiking the Appalachian Trail with his Eagle Scout son, enjoying a second cruise trip, and a lifetime supply of Mexican food, chocolate chip ice cream, cheddar cheese Chex Mix, and Cherry Coke Zero.

I had an unexpected eye emergency and they got me in immediately. Everyone was courteous and the visit was quick and easy. I will definitely be back for routine care!

I've been going to different offices for my eye exams the last 10 years. I think this office has stood out the best for their excellent services. Everybody from the front desk to the tech and especially Dr. Law, was so kind. I want to talk about Dr. Law's special care for his patients. He took extra time to explain to me about my eye health despite me having healthy eyes. No other doctor ever took the time to show me the different brands of contacts and how each brand performs in my eyes. I've been using the same brand for almost a decade now. And just today I learned they weren't very breathable for my eyes. I'm now changing the brand for contacts and potentially saving more money vs the previous brand I was using.

It had been about three years that I had my eyes looked at. The moment I stepped into office I was welcomed with a smile and everyone was so helpful. I'll be back next year!

Excellent personnel, and friendly staff. Enjoyed the experience and atmosphere. Dr.Kyle Johnson was wonderful. Both myself and my husband had the experience. My husband was having issues with a pair of glasses from another provider, and Dr.Johnson asked him to come back with the glasses so he could help with the fit, or other issues that may be causing the issues. We both are very impressed! Thank you for your service!
