Patients are left waiting 5-6 years to receive care the rest of the country enjoys. A change is needed that considers the evolving landscape of eye care. Let's put West Virginians first, preserve sight, and keep patients in the game and on the job. #optometry #AccesstoEyeCare

Interested in an eye drop that eliminates the need for reading glasses? Give us a call to set up an appointment.

West Virginians deserve the best. Let's work to prevent the dramatic increase in eye diseases predicted by 2050. Allowing optometrists to practice to their level of training & education helps hardworking West Virginians in small towns and communities across our state. #optometry

@WesternUNews Optometry School students get hands-on experience with lasers. Thanks to education partner Lumenis students get to use Smart Selecta Duet and the new Digital Duet, the first digital SLT-YAG platform on the market. #optometry #eyecare #technology #patientcare #lasers
