Dr. O’Donnell received her Bachelors of 

Biology and Psychology at Stetson University 

and went on to achieve her dual Masters 

of Physiological Optics and Doctor of 

Optometry from the University of Alabama at 

Birmingham.  

She is passionate about providing quality 

services to her patients. As a small girl, and a 

daughter of immigrants, Dr. Lan O’Donnell 

experienced poor health care and vowed to be 

different when opening her practice 11 years 

ago in Santa Rosa Beach. 

She strives to give the most thorough 

eye exams EVER.  She analyzes patients’ 

occupations, hobbies and lifestyles to 

determine their eyewear needs.  She provides 

a unique experience that you cannot get 

anywhere else and people have noticed her 

efforts.  In 2015 and 2016, Dr. O’Donnell 

and her company, O’Donnell Eye Institute, 

were voted “Best Eye Doctor” and “Best Eye 

Doctor Practice” by the community readers 

of Emerald Coast magazine and VIP Destin 

magazine.

She is always intrigued by the optometry 

field when finding other serious health issues 

through eye exams.  “Many people don’t 

realize their eyes are a window into their 

overall health,” says, Dr. O’Donnell.  A few 

things you would not think can be seen from 

an eye exam; Dr. O’Donnell has diagnosed 

AIDS, tumors, strokes, high cholesterol, high 

blood pressure and diabetes.

As an optometrist, wife, and devoted mother 

of four, Dr. O’Donnell is living her dream of 

providing world class  

family eye care in her new 

state of the art facility at 

the O’Donnell Professional 

Building!

“Addiction is a chronic disease in the same way that heart disease, 

diabetes or asthma are chronic diseases. A band-aid approach does not 

work for addiction any more than it would work for these other chronic 

diseases. A comprehensive ground-up approach along with a clear 

long term strategy are imperative for any of these diseases, especially 

addiction.” – Dr. Roland Reeves
