Message from our Doctors
Thank you for your interest in vision rehabilitation and for visiting our web site. Community Services for Vision Rehabilitation (CSVR) helps all with any degree of vision loss. We are highly accessible, responsive and open to all. Our policies are designed to make all of the resources, training, aids and devices available to all who will benefit. We offer individualized, personal care. We see patients of any age, with any type or degree of vision loss, and with or without medical insurance or other coverage. A large inventory of strong glasses, adaptive aids and equipment are stocked at our offices. A thorough initial evaluation of each person allows us to choose the aids best suited for the type and severity of vision loss, preventing the purchase of inappropriate and often costly devices. All can be demonstrated in the office, and many can be used on a trial basis. Our Occupational Therapist and other office personnel can provide additional training and back-up. We welcome any and all questions, comments and feedback.

Help for Veterans with
vision loss
Many veterans of military service do not
realize that help for their vision loss
may be available through the Veterans
Administration. Vision loss may be
covered, and much help obtained, even
if vision loss is not service connected.
Low vision resulting from macular
degeneration, diabetic eye disease,
glaucoma, etc. may be covered by the
VA.

Dr. Coward practiced
Ophthalmology and Oculoplastics in Foley
beginning in 1994 and was one of the first
female surgeons in Baldwin County. Beth was a
Board Certified Ophthalmologist and active in
the Baldwin County Medical Society. Dr. Coward
was known to her colleagues, residents, nurses

1984, passed away on
September 19, 2020.
Dr. Salisbury was a graduate of Tulane University
School of Medicine completing a residency in
Ophthalmology and a fellowship in
Vitreous/Retina also at Tulane. Dr. Salisbury
moved to Mobile in 1984 to begin a practice in
Ophthalmology and within a few years joined the
Premier Medical Group. He was humble, a true
gentleman and often described as a "prince of a
fella." Dr. Salisbury was a long-standing
member of board of Community Services for
Vision Rehabilitation. He was always supportive
and eager to help in any way.
CSVR will miss each of these Board Member and
will continue to have family members in our
thoughts and prayers.
