Vision

Clearer Sight, Brighter Futures

Eye care you can count on.

Protecting sight. Preserving independence.

At Volunteers in Medicine Hilton Head Island (VIM) , we understand that clear vision is essential to leading a full, independent life. That’s why our ophthalmology and optometry services are dedicated to preventing vision loss and treating eye diseases for our eligible patients—at no cost.

Our volunteer ophthalmologists and optometrists provide comprehensive eye care to our diabetic patients who reside or work on  Hilton Head and Daufuskie Islands and who are uninsured and meet income qualifications. Whether it’s a routine eye exam or ongoing care for chronic conditions, our team is here to help protect your vision and overall well-being.

Ensuring Access To Vision Services

At VIM we are dedicated to provide high quality eye care to our community. Our mission is to ensure that everyone has access to essential vision services, regardless of financial barriers.

The current focus of our vision program is diabetic retinopathy screening and specialized retina treatment for diabetic patients.

Eye Exams

Our thorough eye exams are designed to assess your overall eye health and detect any vision problems. Our experienced doctors use the latest techniques to evaluate your vision and provide personalized recommendations.

Prescriptions for Glasses

If you need corrective lenses, we will provide you with a prescription tailored to your needs. Our team will guide you through the process of selecting the right lenses to improve your vision and quality of life.

Retina Scans

Using advanced imaging technology, we perform detailed retina scans to monitor the health of your retina and detect any early signs of conditions like diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.

Optical Coherence Tomography (O.C.T.) Scans

Our O.C.T. scans offer high-resolution images of the layers of your retina, enabling us to diagnose and manage various eye conditions with precision.
