About Dr. Helen Fure
Dr. Helen Fure first came to Lexington, Virginia as a Washington and Lee undergraduate. In addition to pre-med studies she pursued active interests in both collegiate tennis and violin. Dr. Fure graduated magna cum laude and also earned honors as an Academic All-American tennis player. Following the completion of her optometry studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry, she moved to North Carolina to practice at the Duke Eye Center. Dr. Fure was one of the first optometrists employed at Duke’s distinguished department of ophthalmology. However, like many W&L alums, her heart never really left Lexington. She decided to move back to her college town, where she established a private practice and managed it for over twenty years. In 2025, she partnered with MyEyeDr to bring new resources and technologies to the business, while still keeping the heart and personal touch of the practice.
Dr. Fure enjoys the community for the friendliness of its people, the natural beauty and history of the region, and the educational and cultural resources so abundant in a college town. In her free time you can find her on a hike in the Blue Ridge, supporting the local sports teams, getting a coffee at Pronto, and hosting friends and family on her porch on Jefferson Street.
