The Albert Florens Storm Eye Institute has been South Carolina’s center for the management of complex and serious eye diseases for thirty years. As a research institute, Storm Eye enjoys notoriety throughout the world for innovation and discovery in many fields including intraocular lenses, retinal function and the study of retinal diseases, and glaucoma neuroprotection. In addition, our teaching programs attract, year in and year out, many of the best applicants from across the country. Storm Eye Institute is undergoing another exciting phase of growth. I am certain that our future will be even more exciting than our past.

In concert with our growth, we strive to maintain and improve our patient satisfaction by being “user friendly”.  Even as we grow in size and complexity, we wish to maintain our small town southern hospitality.  Patients and referring physicians have been impressed with how easy it is to gain access to the doctors of Storm Eye.  Each of us is willing and able to hear your concerns and help in any way possible.  The information provided in this website is intended to facilitate that easy access and to help meet our “user friendly” goal.  You will find, herein, an overview of the divisions within the Institute and the services we offer.  We hope it will serve as an introduction to the ways we accomplish our mission.  We hope that it will lead to meaningful interactions with our faculty and staff.

At the Storm Eye Institute, vision is our mission.  We seek to advance the science of ophthalmology and meet the eye care needs of the public by committing to care, to teach, to serve, to discover.
