Lions Vision Services

Lions Vision Services Lions Vision Services is ending blindness in poverty in South Carolina. Any client enrolled in SNAP, TANF, Subsidized Housing, or Medicaid are pre-qualified.

Lions Vision Services (LVS) was chartered by the Lions Clubs of SC in 1969 to meet the growing demand for services to blind and visually impaired persons in under-served communities. Programs came to include vision screenings in 1974, eye surgeries in 1976, eyeglass collection and recycling in 1981, vision technology in 2018, the Palmetto Vision Alliance in 2020, eyeglass provision in 2021, and a

blind fishing tournament in 2022. Today LVS exists to empower the under-served blind and visually impaired in South Carolina to live safe, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. Our vision is a vibrant community in which preventable blindness is eliminated, the blind and visually impaired have the resources necessary to live fulfilling lives, and public perception recognizes the potential and dignity of every blind and visually impaired person. With the exception of Vision Screenings, which are free and available to the public, clients must meet two criteria to qualify for LVS services: (1) they must be a South Carolina resident for a least 1-year; and (2) must demonstrate total household income of approximately 200% or less of Federal Poverty Guidelines, with no other resources, public or private, to pay for services. There is an urgent need to provide adequate vision health to economically disadvantaged communities in South Carolina. Vision is the key to addressing a range of other health issues and remains a primary concern in measuring our quality of life and connectedness to our community. Our programs address these needs and supporting LVS will expand a well-established, highly collaborative, successful organization. Beyond the practical implications of the gift of sight, we are doing a profound thing through this program – we are changing the way people see themselves, and the world. That change will have an immeasurable impact on our children, our grandchildren, and generations to come.

LVS is honored to be a part of the Vision 2030 Program supported by the BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation! This initiative is transforming the way South Carolinians access affordable, high quality eyecare to improve our quality of life and includes some of the best partners in the vision industry. Thank you!

Good vision supports more than sight. It affects safety, independence, work and daily life. Vision screening can help catch problems early, and follow-up care can help individuals get the support they need to stay healthy and independent.

The BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation supports Vision 2030, a statewide effort that helps eligible adults access no-cost vision screening, treatment and rehabilitation through community partners across South Carolina.

This past Saturday LVS held our annual meeting at the S.C. Lions Club State Convention. Our organization was created by the Lions Clubs of South Carolina in 1969, so state clubs are some of our greatest supporters.

At the convention we had the opportunity to share how our supporters are impacting lives, to honor a few of our most dedicated donors, and to celebrate a couple of our team members who also received recognitions - congratulations to Daniel and Winn!

Tomorrow is May Giving Day! YOU can transform the life of someone living with vision loss by helping us reach our goal of $50,000, which helps cover up to 30 critical eye surgeries for residents throughout our state.

Financial barriers often prevent South Carolinians from accessing vital eyecare services, but no one should lose their sight because they can’t afford care. With your help, we can bring sight into focus and end blindness in poverty in South Carolina.

Donate to give someone back their sight - and independence.
