Dedication to Service

Together with Dr. Boatwright and Dr. Herring, Dr. Solomon and his wife, Cindi, founded Operation Sight in 2011 with the goal of serving South Carolinians who were in danger of losing their vision to cataracts but could not afford surgery. Although Medicare often covers cataract surgery for patients over 65, younger individuals can still develop the condition. For uninsured or low-income patients, cataract surgery can be cost-prohibitive, at the ultimate price of their vision.

Operation Sight at a Glance

  • Founded in 2011
  • Staffed by more than 80 active volunteers
  • More than 270 successful cataract surgeries completed

Since its founding, Operation Sight has gained widespread support in the greater Charleston community, gaining backing from local philanthropists and community leaders. In 2014, a press release published by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery highlighted the addition of Operation Sight to a national network of charitable cataract surgery organizations.

Eligibility

To be eligible for cataract surgery through Operation Sight, prospective patients must meet the following criteria:

  • South Carolina residency
  • Have diagnosed cataracts that significantly affect vision
  • Be between 18 and 63 years of age
  • Do not have insurance that covers cataract surgery
  • Have income at or below the 2015 Federal Poverty Guidelines


Operation Sight is Charleston’s only non-profit organization to offer free cataract surgery to those in need, ages 18 to 62. Its overarching goal is to eliminate the disparity that comes when preventable blindness is a product of poverty.
