Don't neglect your vision; learn if you are a candidate for free eye care from EyeCare America.

Who needs the most eye care? Seniors.

Why? Most people with serious eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration (AMD) are seniors.

So what's the problem? The cost of eye care.

Many seniors neglect their eye care and vision problems because they have low or fixed incomes or inadequate vision insurance.

There is a solution: EyeCare America — a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). Thanks to nearly 6,000 volunteer ophthalmologists, this program has been offering eye care to eligible older Americans for more than 30 years and has helped more than 1.8 million people, according to AAO.
