Most amazing Eye Doctor ever! Changed my vision and quality of life with the most detailed eye exam. For years, I had been told by other eye doctors that .25 would not make a difference in prescription strengths and for convenience to match the contact prescription in both eyes. I used to get occasional headaches and post my eye exam I've noticed the headaches went away with my new 'unmatched' prescription. Also, she gave me a trial of the most comfortable contact lens! I had no idea what I was missing out on for years! Thank you Dr. Lan O'Donnell!
