Dr. Dayton has been enhancing the vision of thousands of Idahoans for over 30 years.
Dr. Dayton is an Idaho native, originally from Boise, with strong ties to southeastern Idaho. His father graduated from Sugar-Salem High School, and his mother from Ucon High School. He attended Ricks College in Rexburg before serving a two-year mission in Belgium and France. After returning, he completed his studies in Biology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and graduated from Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon, in 1990, as a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa International Optometric Honors Fraternity.
Dr. Dayton first practiced in Twin Falls for two years before spending 30 years in the Treasure Valley. In 2006, he founded Hometown Family Eyecare in Middleton, Idaho, providing comprehensive primary eye care services. He also worked part-time at The Eye Associates in Meridian, Idaho, a busy ophthalmology practice, for 16 years, working closely with surgeons. From 2007 to 2012, he mentored optometry students during their clinical rotations and has lectured at continuing medical education conferences. Since 2010, he has been one of only 25 consultants and speakers with the world’s leading contact lens manufacturer, presenting at events nationwide.
Dr. Dayton and his wife, Seleste Summers, a native of Rexburg, have been married for 31 years and have six children—three boys and three girls. Together, they enjoy Idaho’s outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, cycling, skiing, and working on Grandpa's potato farm. Dr. Dayton finds great satisfaction in connecting with his patients and helping them see and function better. He is grateful to be a part of Premier Eyecare and looks forward to meeting you in Idaho Falls or Rexburg.
