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. She’s a compassionate communicator who’s just as capable of explaining a child’s eye care to them and their parents in the exam room as she is speaking to professional groups about the importance of early recognition of vision problems. 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.

This was the third or fourth time that Dr Johnson did an exam for glasses for me. They are always very friendly and professional. I'm now waiting for my glasses after getting my prescription. Everyone I dealt with was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you Eyecare Specialties Staff. I appreciate all of your help and friendliness. Sincerely, Esther Caroline Payne
