The EyeCare America Program

The EyeCare America Program is a public service initiative by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that provides free or low-cost eye exams to eligible individuals, particularly those who are seniors, underserved, or at increased risk for eye conditions. It aims to improve access to quality eye care, helping detect and manage vision problems early. Participants are referred to volunteer ophthalmologists who offer comprehensive exams and follow-up care, ensuring better visual health and quality of life. The program emphasizes preventive care and education, making eye health more accessible for those who might otherwise face barriers to treatment.
