Dr. Gayton is one
of the nation's leading eye surgeons. It was his
desire to be a world-class weight lifter, but his
hands were too small
to encircle the bar in competition. He changed his
goals and used his small hands to become a world
class eye surgeon.
Born and raised in rural Georgia,
Dr. Gayton graduated with honors from the Medical
College of Georgia in 1979. In 1983, he became the
youngest ophthalmologist in
the United States. That same year Dr. Gayton opened Eyesight Associates. Dr.
Gayton became Houston County's first full-time ophthalmologist
and was the founder of Houston

His contributions to ophthalmology include developing techniques for
