Meet Our Olympia Optometrists

Dr. Emily Koziczkowski, optometrist at Clarus Eye Centre

Emily Koziczkowski, O.D.

Dr. Koziczkowski grew up in Southcentral Alaska before relocating to Oregon to pursue her undergraduate studies at the University of Portland. She graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biology, and a minor in Neuroscience. She went on to receive her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Ohio State University College of Optometry, also graduating magna cum laude. While at Ohio State, she earned a Master of Science in Vision Science for her research on a novel pathway of stimulation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. Throughout her time in Ohio, Dr. Koziczkowski was deeply committed to community service through her involvement in NOSA and SVOSH, two student organizations dedicated to providing eye care to underserved communities. Through these organizations, she participated in numerous vision screenings and eye clinics. She also attended domestic and international service trips. 

Dr. Koziczkowski is excited to be back in the PNW and practicing as part of the Clarus team. Her clinical interests include contact lenses, managing ocular disease, and providing comprehensive eye care.
Outside of the office, she enjoys traveling, baking, and staying active through outdoor activities and playing volleyball.

Yvette Lakkis, O.D.

Dr. Yvette Lakkis is from Lacey, Washington, where she spent the greater part of her childhood before moving to California to complete her schooling. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a degree in microbiology and completed her optometric training at the UC Berkeley School of Optometry. In addition to her clinical education at UC Berkeley, Dr. Lakkis also researched gene therapy as a treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. After optometry school, Dr. Lakkis furthered her clinical knowledge by completing her residency in ocular disease, traumatic brain injury, and low vision rehabilitation at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Long Beach, California. While at the VA, Dr. Lakkis had the distinction of being voted for the Veterans Choice Award two times, which exemplifies her dedication to her patients and their eye health. 
Her professional interests include comprehensive eye care for all ages, complex pathologies, and post-operative co-management with Clarus’s surgical team. She is excited to care for patients at our Olympia clinic on Lilly Road, close to where she grew up.   
In her spare time, Dr. Lakkis enjoys exercising, visiting new cafes to read books and drink lattes, and challenging herself with solo travel.

Karen Watson, O.D.

Dr. Karen Watson was born and raised in Southern California, but with family roots in Federal Way, she spent many school breaks in Washington and ultimately chose to make the Puget Sound area her home to be closer to loved ones.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign before completing her Doctor of Optometry degree at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. During her training, Dr. Watson broadened her experience through externships across the country—including Wyoming, Alaska, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota—fostering her love of travel and diverse patient care.

Following graduation, she returned to Pennsylvania to complete a residency in Ocular Disease and Low Vision Rehabilitation at the Lebanon Veterans Affairs Medical Center. A Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, Dr. Watson is deeply committed to lifelong learning and advancing her field.

Passionate about outreach, she has participated in service trips to Guatemala and Ecuador, where she helped provide free eye care to underserved communities. In her free time, Dr. Watson enjoys hiking, working on jigsaw puzzles, exploring new foods, and spending quality time with her family.
