About Dr. Shaun Larsen

Dr. Shaun Larsen specializes in the areas of low vision services as well as enhancing vision with contact lenses and he enjoys bringing a smile to the faces of his patients when he can help them see well enough to read, write, and sometimes even drive again. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Utah State University, he went on to obtain his Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee. He keeps up to date with the latest technology and specialty devices to help his patients regain their visual independence. “There is nothing more gratifying than helping a patient who has been told ‘nothing more can be done’ to see again.” – Dr. Larsen
