Learn more about our vision outreach programs and how we work with local organizations to bring our services to the people of West Virginia and the surrounding region.

Established in 1996, the WVU Eye Institute Children’s Vision Rehabilitation Program (CVRP) serves visually impaired children, teachers, parents, and professionals across West Virginia. With a mission to provide comprehensive vision rehabilitation services to blind and visually impaired school-aged children – regardless of their ability to pay – the CVRP continues to grow and evolve with new projects each year based on students’ needs.

The Appalachian Vision Outreach Program provides services to underserved populations of West Virginians who may not have access to quality eye care due to geographical or financial obstacles. A care team from WVU Eye Institute travels to all areas of the state to provide screenings, full exams, glasses, identification of eye diseases, referrals for specialty care, and surgery.

The Adult Low Vision Program helps people with decreased vision to regain independence and those with permanent vision loss to maximize remaining vision. When glasses, contacts, or surgery cannot correct vision loss, we can help you get back to the activities you enjoy using devices and technology.
