Meet Your Doctor
Dr. Daniel N. Garn
A native of Sugar City, Idaho, Dr. Daniel N. Garn has proudly served the vision and eye-health needs of families throughout Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho for more than 20 years. He and his wife (Shelece) raised their family in the area, and he feels deeply grateful for the relationships he has developed with his patients and the community he calls home.
Dr. Garn earned his bachelor’s degree from Idaho State University and his Doctor of Optometry degree from The Ohio State University College of Optometry, where he was awarded the Wildermuth Foundation Scholarship and graduated cum laude. He completed additional clinical training in ocular disease and refractive surgery management at the William H. Havener Eye Institute and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Licensed in Idaho and Washington and fluent in English and Spanish, Dr. Garn provides comprehensive, full-scope eye care for patients of all ages. His services range from routine eye examinations, glasses, and contact lenses to the diagnosis and management of more complex conditions, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, cataracts, dry eye disease, keratoconus, eye infections, and eye injuries. He also has a special interest in advanced diagnostic testing, specialty contact lenses, and individualized treatment options for patients with more challenging vision and eye-health needs.
Dr. Garn believes exceptional eye care begins with listening carefully and taking the time to understand each patient’s individual concerns. Supported by advanced diagnostic technology and an outstanding, caring staff, his goal is to help every patient achieve their best possible vision while protecting their eye health throughout every stage of life.
For Dr. Garn, practicing in Coeur d’Alene is much more than a profession—it is a privilege. He genuinely enjoys caring for the people of North Idaho and looks forward to continuing to serve the community for many years to come.
