Susan G. Donald, O.D., M.B.A., F.A.A.O.
After earning her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Michigan College of Optometry, Dr. Donald completed a residency and assistant professorship at the Illinois College of Optometry. There, she met her now-husband, and they returned to his home in Ark-La-Tex to practice their eye care specialties and raise a family.
Dr. Donald’s patients are dear to her because she knows they have unique needs that, often, other eye doctors haven’t been able to address. While she excels in several areas of eye care, her greatest passions are glaucoma management and helping patients improve unusual vision issues with a specialized solution: scleral lenses. Dr. Donald is extremely proud to successfully fit an impressive number of these life-transforming scleral and RGP lenses on a variety of unique and challenging eyes. While she is not at Lusk Eye Specialists, Dr. Donald gardens, cares for her animals, flies planes, and travels to see her daughter in Kansas and her daughter and son-in-law in Colorado.

I have had the pleasure of being Dr. Sue Donald’s patient for a number of years now. She was the first to diagnosis me with Latent Hyperopia when no other eye doctor has taken the time nor been as thorough as she was during my appointment. I have also taken my son to see her when he was about a year old and she was amazing with him. She was patient, kind and had a gentle voice with him during the whole exam. I have personally recommended her to a number of family and friends, along with recommending her for children. Highly recommended!!

I am a very picky and a time consuming patient when it comes to the care of my eyes, hands down I would choose to drive from Texas for my vision needs to see Dr. Donald and have the absolute BEST care not only from the doctor herself, but also the entire staff. Love this facility and most of all Dr. Susan Donald, highly recommended!!
