About Dr. Cheryl Van Horn

Undergraduate Education: I graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan College with a BA degree in Chemistry, first in my class and Magna Cum Laude. I also received a BS in Visual Science from Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Optometry School: I went to optometry school at Pennsylvania College of Optometry and was an Honor Graduate (top 10%) in 1988. Professional Achievements and Associations: Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry; Member of Beta Sigma Kappa Optometric Honorary; Member of the American Optometric Association (Cornea and Contact Lens Section member); Member of the West Virginia Association of Optometric Physicians (past member of the board in various offices and committees); For 10 years was a Clinical Examiner for the National Optometry Board Part III. Clinical Certifications and Specialties: Cited by PCO for Excellence in Pediatric Care; Certified in the Treatment and Management of Ocular Disease; Certified in Advanced Ocular Therapeutics and Systemic Medications; Interests in myopia management, dry eye management, and the treatment of eye disease and injury. The reason I became an optometrist is: During the summer between 3rd and 4th grade, I had to get my first pair of glasses. I hadn't known that I was not seeing things that I should, and I never complained, but when I said I couldn't read the menu to my little sister at Burger King, my father got worried. When I went to the optometrist, I was so scared, and I cried so much! But then when we picked up my new glasses, we went for a picnic lunch at a scenic overlook, and I couldn't hardly eat because I was amazed that I could see houses in the valley and leaves on the tree! Soon after my girl scouts group did a trip to an eye doctor's office, and ever since then I said I wanted to be an optometrist and stuck with that goal throughout school. My favorite part of helping my patients is: - There is no better reward than when you can do something to improve a person’s quality of life by helping them.
