Dr. Crosby graduated with honors from Duke University. She earned an NIH-funded scholarship to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where she completed medical and graduate school training. She earned a PhD in molecular and cellular patho-biology (with focus on inflammation and rheumatology). She applied that knowledge to research on ocular inflammation during clinical training. This was a turning point in Dr. Crosby’s career. As she worked with patients suffering sight-threatening conditions, she developed an uncommon drive to restore and enhance vision.
One of Dr. Crosby’s favorite aspects of comprehensive ophthalmology is listening to patients’ concerns, and educating them on vision conditions. Recognized as a gifted teacher, she eagerly shares knowledge with patients, and future ophthalmologists. She is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCSD. Her research is extensively published, and Dr. Crosby has presented at national and international meetings on topics of inflammation, eye disease, and uveal melanoma. She maintains contact with emerging companies and research groups to stay abreast of innovative treatments for corneal disease and uveal melanoma.
