About Us
The Department of Ophthalmology is part of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. The Department of Ophthalmology, in conjunction with the University of Virginia Medical Center, operates two fully-equipped clinics. The UVA Clinic is in the Old Medical School Building and is part of the West Complex of the Health System. The UVA Clinic consists of 16 exam rooms and several procedure and testing rooms. The Northridge Clinic is set away from the Medical Center on Ivy Road. The Ophthalmology Clinic at Northridge consists of 10 exam rooms and several procedure and testing rooms. Both locations operate five days a week year round. Most faculty and clinical personnel split their time between the two locations, while all of the administrative offices are adjacent to the UVA Clinic. The Department of Ophthalmology serves as the ophthalmic referral center for central and western Virginia and for parts of West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Department proudly employs over 60 dedicated and experienced staff members. Its eight faculty members teach and conduct research with nine ophthalmology residents and two ophthalmology fellows. We offer comprehensive ophthalmic care as well as the following subspecialties: Anterior Segment/Cornea, Glaucoma, Neuro-ophthalmology, Oculo-plastics, Pediatrics, and Medical and Surgical Retina.
