Who We Serve

LVS services directly impact the blind and visually impaired population in SC living in poverty, specifically those living at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. Most of this population (86% on average) is uninsured. Client demographic data reveals that LVS programs disproportionately serve higher numbers of ethnic minority populations than is representative of the population, allowing our programs to reach communities which have historically experienced a lack of resources to achieve adequate vision and eye health.
