Meet Dr. Gabrielle Hinton (Houston, TX)

Gabrielle Hinton, O.D., received her Doctor of Optometry from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry, graduating with Highest Honors in 2023, and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from Colorado College in Colorado Springs in 2015.

Originally from Vero Beach, Florida, Dr. Hinton graduated in the top 1% of her high school class with a strong aptitude for math and science. She discovered her passion for optometry during a summer job at a local clinic, where she learned every aspect of the profession—from pre-screening and insurance billing to sales, inventory management, and lens surfacing. After six years there, she was inspired to pursue optometry school to take on the final role: providing patient care.

While at Nova Southeastern University, Dr. Hinton trained at the renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, the nation’s top-ranked ophthalmology hospital. There, she developed a special interest in scleral lenses, particularly for treating dry eye and other ocular surface diseases.

Following graduation, she returned to the clinic where her career began, providing comprehensive eye care to her home community. In May 2025, she relocated to Houston, Texas, to join her fiancé and the AEG team, where she offers compassionate, comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages.
