Advancing eye care for all South Carolinians
The Palmetto Vision Alliance maximizes resources for blind and visually impaired persons in South Carolina through collaboration, cooperation, and coordination among key service stakeholders.
Preventing Loss
With early detection, vision loss can be slowed ― even stopped ― with minor intervention, making regular eye care essential for all.
Protecting Sight
When diseases causing vision loss are identified, some can be addressed with corrective surgery or a simple pair of glasses.
Empowering Life
Irreversible vision loss need not be a detractor from a meaningful and engaging life with the accessibility of vision rehabilitation services.
