Where you live shouldn’t determine how well you see.

In South Carolina, vision impairment rates vary dramatically, from 3.8% to over 22% depending on the county. Many high-risk areas are in historically under-resourced communities.

This World Health Day 🌎 know the facts about the
role that Doctors of Optometry play in expanding access to care and reducing health disparities.

Better access to eye care = stronger, healthier
communities.
