Free Eye Exam for Seniors

By , About.com GuideAugust 6, 2010

Follow me on:

Insurance for eye exams can be hard to find and expensive. Some are able to pay for the costs with their HSA but that is not an option for everyone, especially seniors.

Here is a great program to help senior citizens who don't have insurance to get a free eye exam. It is called EyeCare America. Here is some info from their site:

"EyeCare America is a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Our mission is to preserve sight by raising awareness about eye disease and providing access to medical eye care."

"Our award-winning organization provides eye exams and up to one year of care to US citizens and legal residents through volunteer ophthalmologists (EyeMDs) often at no out-of-pocket cost to those who qualify."
