GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Eye Health America (EHA), a leading eye care practice management organization in the Southeast, welcomes Drs. William Milford and Marion K. Williams of The Eye Care Center, into its business family. The Eye Care Center is an established, full-service optometric practice with three locations in Anderson, Piedmont, and Williamston serving patients for over 50 years.

Our vision and goals are perfectly aligned with Eye Health America and make this partnership a great fit.”
