She then moved to St. Louis, Missouri, for optometry school at UMSL College of Optometry. After graduation she did a residency in ocular disease, focusing on glaucoma, macular degeneration and dry eye, at the Baltimore VA Medical Center and the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Larson then joined her now-husband, Dr. Eric Larson, while he finished up his orthopedic residency and hand surgery fellowship. Dr. Larson is a hand surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Santa Monica. Dr. Larson comes from a family of eyes. Her father is a renowned corneal specialist from Santa Barbara and her sister and mother are optometrists as well.
