Dr. Denton has a passion for patient care and recognizes the eyes as, not only the window to your soul, but also the window to a person’s overall health. While she treats and manages a wide array of ocular diseases, ocular traumas, and primary eye care, her true passion is treating Dry Eye Syndrome. She prides herself in being an “end-of-the-line” specialist, meaning she manages to care for individuals who have tried seemingly everything and are still suffering from their dry eye symptoms. Utilizing a method for treating dry eye that she calls “interventional dry eye treatment”, she analyzes your medical history, current routine, and the condition of your eyes before prescribing treatments that truly intervene to deliver tangible results to patients, ensuring to track improvement along the way.
