Who We Are
The Seniors EyeCare Program ensures that every senior has access to medical eye care and promotes annual, dilated eye exams.This Program connects eligible seniors 65 and older with local volunteer ophthalmologists who provide a medical eye exam often at no out-of-pocket cost, and up to one year of followup care for any condition diagnosed during the initial exam, for the physician services. It raises awareness about age-related disease, including cataracts, provides free eye care educational materials and facilitates access to eye care--at no out of pocket expense. To qualify for the Seniors Program one must be:
- U.S. citizen or legal resident
- Age 65 or older
- Not belong to an HMO or have eye care benefits through the VA
- Not seen an ophthalmologist in three or more years
