Dr. Betty Zhang is the first retina optometrist to join Colorado Retina Associates. Her passion for ocular health dates back to her childhood in Lawrence, Kansas, where her interest was sparked by her second grade science class dissecting cow eyes. She attended Washington University in St. Louis for her undergraduate degrees in biology and psychology, where she continued fueling her passion for eye care—specifically ocular pathology—by volunteering weekly at the Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments. She went on to graduate with honors from The University of Houston College of Optometry.
