Eye Care America

EyeCare America is a nonprofit program sponsored by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that provides free or low-cost eye care services to qualifying underserved, at-risk, and older adults. They connect eligible individuals with volunteer ophthalmologists who offer comprehensive eye examinations, screenings, and follow-up care. The goal is to improve vision health, prevent blindness, and increase awareness about eye conditions. Eligibility typically includes age restrictions and income guidelines. EyeCare America helps ensure that people who might otherwise lack access to eye care receive essential services, promoting better overall eye health within communities.
