Who We Are
The Glaucoma EyeCare Program promotes early detection and treatment of glaucoma. It raises awareness of glaucoma risk factors (family history, race, age), provides free glaucoma educational materials, and facilitates access to medical eye care. This program provides a glaucoma eye exam at no cost to those who are eligible and uninsured. Those who are eligible and insured are billed and are responsible for any co-payments.
To qualify for the Glaucoma Program one must be:
- U.S. citizen or legal resident
- Not belong to an HMO or have eye care benefits through the VA
- Not had an eye exam in 12 months or more
- At increased risk for glaucoma, determined by your age, race and family history
EyeCare America also offers the Seniors EyeCare Program.
