AUGUST is.......Eye Health and Safety Month.
This month we are highlighting support and resources to help those who need Eye Care and Eye Care services.
Programs that offer free or low-cost eye care
These programs offer free or low-cost eye care. Keep in mind that you’ll need to apply to get help from these programs — and many programs have specific
requirements, like having a low income or a higher risk of certain eye diseases.
Most of these programs provide services across the United States, but your area may have local organizations and services that can help, too.
VSP Eyes of Hope provides children and adults with no-cost eye care and eyeglasses. This program is for people with limited income who don’t have health insurance. To apply for Eyes of Hope, you’ll need help from a school nurse or a community partner organization.
Lions Clubs International offers help paying for eye care through its local clubs. Some clubs may also provide eyeglasses.
Use the club locator to see what’s available in your area
