At the WVU Eye Institute, we firmly believe that every patient who needs advanced specialized eye care should be able to find that care close to home. That is why we have recruited specialists who are board-certified and fellowship-trained in advanced, comprehensive vision care and are using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The WVU Eye Institute at Wheeling Hospital features nationally recognized doctors specializing in diabetic eye disease, retinal detachments, macular diseases, and much more. From routine eye exams to specialty services, our team ensures patients throughout the Ohio Valley have access to trusted eye healthcare in one convenient location.

Common questions our patients ask:

  • Why is my vision blurry?
  • Why can’t I see well at night?
  • Why is there pressure or pain in my eye?
  • Why did I suddenly lose vision, or now have double vision, in one eye?
  • Other questions around dry, red, itchy, or watery eyes are also common

If you feel like this might describe your condition, or that of a loved one, the Eye Institute at Wheeling Hospital is here to explore solutions with you.
