Whether you’re in need of a comprehensive eye exam, ongoing management of an eye condition, or simply looking for a trusted optometrist in Denver, our newest provider is here to help you see—and feel—your best.

Education & Advanced Training in Ocular Disease

Dr. Costin earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from The Ohio State University, where she also completed her Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry.

To further specialize in medical eye care, she completed a Residency in Ocular Disease and Primary Eye Care at the Albuquerque VA, where she gained extensive experience treating a wide range of complex conditions.

Her clinical training allows her to diagnose and manage:

  • Glaucoma
  • Retinal conditions
  • Dry eye disease
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Other systemic conditions with ocular involvement

 

This advanced background ensures patients at Denver Eye Surgeons receive thorough, high-quality care rooted in the latest medical knowledge.

Why She Chose Optometry

Her journey into optometry started with a simple but meaningful inspiration—her childhood optometrist.

“He was always so happy and in a great mood. I remember thinking it must be a great profession if he enjoyed it that much.”

During her time at The Ohio State University, she discovered a growing interest in ocular disease. Wanting more hands-on experience with complex cases, she pursued residency training to deepen her expertise—ultimately shaping the type of provider she is today.

Special Interest in Glaucoma & Retinal Eye Care

She has a particular passion for glaucoma management and retinal disease, two critical areas of eye health that can significantly impact vision if left untreated.

“I find glaucoma and retina so fascinating. You can learn so much about a person’s overall health just by looking at their eyes.”

By combining advanced diagnostics with patient education, she helps patients better understand how their eye health connects to their overall well-being.

A Personalized, Patient-Centered Approach to Eye Care

At Denver Eye Surgeons, patient experience is just as important as clinical excellence—and that’s exactly what she delivers.

Her philosophy is centered on creating a comfortable, engaging, and informative eye exam experience.

Patients can expect:

  • A relaxed and welcoming environment
  • One-on-one attention with a provider who is fully focused on their care
  • Clear explanations about their vision and eye health
  • A touch of humor to make visits more enjoyable

 

“For something that can sometimes feel routine, I try to make the visit as interesting and fun as possible.”

Her goal is simple: every patient leaves feeling confident, informed, and cared for.
