Dr. Celeste Acosta
Dr. Celeste Acosta is a San Antonio native and board-certified optometrist with a deep-rooted passion for patient-centered eye care. Her journey into optometry began in high school, where she participated in a health occupations vocational program and gained early hands-on experience working for a local optometrist. That experience sparked a lifelong interest in medical optometry — one that’s taken her across the world and back to serve her hometown.
After graduating from high school, Dr. Acosta earned an academic scholarship to Incarnate Word College (now the University of the Incarnate Word), where she completed Bachelor of Science degrees in both Biology and Chemistry. She went on to receive her Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Houston College of Optometry, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
Dr. Acosta’s clinical training includes:
-
A competitive ocular disease residency at the Baltimore VA Hospital, where she trained under the ophthalmologists of the Wilmer Eye Institute, & Baltimore VA Hospital
-
Externships in San Antonio and Würzburg, Germany, where she provided care on a U.S. Army base and expanded her understanding of global eye health care systems
-
Advanced training in glaucoma, retinal disease, and anterior segment disease
Following her residency, Dr. Acosta joined Victoria Eye Center, where she spent nearly a decade providing care across South Texas communities including Victoria, Beeville, Cuero, and Refugio.
In 2010, she returned to her hometown and purchased The Eye Clinic in Helotes, where she continues to serve patients from Helotes, San Antonio, and throughout Northwest Bexar County. Today, she provides comprehensive routine and medical eye care, with a special interest in ocular disease management.
Dr. Acosta is a proud member of both the American Optometric Association and the Texas Optometric Association. Outside of the clinic, she and her husband Jeff stay busy raising their three daughters — Julia, Isabella, and Emma.
