About this organization
Mission
To restore the vision and improve the lives of qualified, uninsured South Carolina residents suffering from cataracts or urgent, sight threatening retinal disorders requiring surgical intervention, by providing the necessary care to treat these medical conditions at no cost to these individuals.
About
Operation Sight's goal is to aid low-income, uninsured persons with operable cataracts by eliminating the disparity that comes when preventable blindness is a product of poverty. Restoring a participant's vision and enhancing their quality of life will have a direct community impact, as cataract patients can return to the workforce, increase tax revenue, decrease their need for social services and provide stabilization of their family structures. In its fiscal year 2019, Operation Sight performed 57 cataract surgeries. Thanks to in-kind donations of Alcon, Operation Sight participants received all of the pharmaceuticals necessary to pre- and post-operative care for free.
