Drew C. Dayton, OD, received his Doctor of Optometry degree from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon in 1990 and graduated as a member of Beta Sigma Kappa International Optometric Honors Fraternity. Upon graduation, he practiced retail eye care in Twin Falls, Idaho, for two years and then in the Boise area for 14 years with Shopko stores.

​In 2006, he founded Hometown Family Eyecare in Middleton, Idaho, with a strong emphasis in medical primary care optometry and contact lens services.
