invasive, small incision, sutureless eye surgery techniques. He has excellent outcomes for retinal detachment,
macular hole, epiretinal membranes, vitreous hemorrhage, and vitrectomy for eye floaters. Dr. Stelton is credentialed

Dr. Stelton was born in Wichita Falls, Texas. His father served in the United States Air Force for thirty years, and as a

Dr. Stelton completed his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science from Texas AM University, where he
graduated Summa Cum Laude. He attended medical school at The University of Texas Health Science Center and

Dr. Stelton completed both an ophthalmology residency and a prestigious sub-specialty fellowship in vitreoretinal
surgery at the Emory Eye Center at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, one of the preeminent
ophthalmology programs in the country. During his time in Atlanta, Dr. Stelton worked at the Veteran’s Affairs
Hospital providing retina care for Veterans experiencing eye conditions associated with aging, including complications
from diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachments. Dr. Stelton is a consultant for Google on a
project aimed at diagnosing diabetic retinopathy using ocular photography.
Aside from his active membership in the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Dr. Stelton is an Eagle Scout, and in
