THE POWER OF perise WVU Eye Institute providing care at Waynesburg clinic One of the newest offerings at the WVU Medicine Waynesburg clinic provides a critical service in the care of one of our most vital senses: vision. The WVU Eye Institute offers access to specialty eye care close to home where it's needed most. "It's a privilege to be able to provide eye care here in Waynesburg," Jordan Gjolberg, D.O., WVU Eye Institute optometrist, said. "In the past, patients have had to travel to Morgantown to receive care for advanced eye conditions, but now we are able to provide that care in their community. Whether it is diagnostic or follow- up care, patients always have a better outcome when they have better access to the services they need." The clinic treats patients ages 6 and older for annual eye exams and ocular diseases, such as macular degeneration and glaucoma, in addition to urgent and emergent conditions, such as corneal abrasions, eye infections, severe dryness, and allergies. The clinic provides advanced, comprehensive vision care using optical coherence tomography, a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take pictures of the retina for the diagnosis of glaucoma and other diseases of the retina. "By diagnosing and treating optometric and ophthalmic conditions here in Waynesburg, we are significantly reducing the amount of travel required by our patients," Dr. Gjolberg said. "We understand that travel is a significant barrier to care for many people. We strive to provide as many diagnostic services as we can locally in order to minimize the number of trips our patients have to make to our main campus in Morgantown." Providers at the WVU Medicine Waynesburg clinic are board certified and have completed medical training in specialized areas of ophthalmology. The WVU Eye Institute in Morgantown offers routine eye exams and contact lens fittings, cosmetic facial rejuvenation, and specialty services for all eye health needs. Specialists perform more than 700 laser procedures for age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease each year. The WVU Eye Institute is also the first in the region to offer corneal neurotization, a surgery that reconnects nerves to the eye in order to restore sensation. WVUEye Institute.
