Dr. Susan Lake completed her undergrad in Biology at the University of Nebraska before working for an optometrist in college made her fall in love with the position’s combination of healthcare, entrepreneurship, and family time. She went on to earn her Doctor of Optometry from Southern College in Memphis, and complete a fellowship in Pediatric Vision Care, before founding Eyecare Specialties with her husband, Dr. Jason Lake, O.D.

Today, Dr. Susan Lake is Board Certified in Vision Development and Vision Therapy, with a strong pediatric emphasis and a love of treating patients over 65 as well.

Dr. Susan Lake prioritizes making a genuine connection with her patients and coworkers, not only because it creates a welcoming environment, but also because it allows her to personalize her care to each patient.

DR. SUSAN LAKE IS SEEING PATIENTS AT OUR WARRENSBURG OFFICE!

A Nebraska native, Dr. Susan Lake has always had a great love for her home, wherever that has been over the years. She loves the work-life balance that running an optometry practice with her husband has brought her and writes about splitting her time between her work as an eye doctor and raising her three daughters on the blog Babyfocals.com.

While she considers her coworkers to be family in many ways, Dr. Susan Lake also takes time to get out on the lake with her husband and daughters for some quiet “immediate family” bonding time. While she, her husband, and the kids reset, they also love to take boat rides or go water skiing — any excuse to enjoy the water.

Our littlest patients love seeing Dr. Susan Lake! She’s always thorough and friendly as she gives your kids the age-specific eye care they need.

Super efficient facility. This staff is running like a well oiled machine! Well worth the 45 minute drive as they are very professional, easy to talk to, upbeat and get my medical grade contact orders in correctly every year (Not an easy task). Dr. Orson always reviews any issues and I leave feeling secure about the progress of my vision issues through the years. Highly recommend.

My first time at Eyecare Specialties and everyone was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Sam helped me choose a pair of frames. The one pair that I wouldn’t have otherwise tried that she suggested were very flattering and comfortable and they’re the ones I decided on! Also, needed a pair of quality sunglasses and again she picked out a pair that were perfect for me. Just a great experience overall and I would highly recommend them. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.
