UNITED STATES
Our U.S. Field Programs consist mostly of hosting free pop-up eye clinics to provide eye care to under-resourced communities in the U.S. Leading up to a scheduled clinic, we partner with local, community-based organizations and ophthalmology clinics to reach and recruit patients in need. During the clinic, our team does comprehensive vision exams and provides patients with prescription eyeglasses and referrals for appropriate ophthalmic medical care. These programs serve those who face barriers to accessing eye care, including the homeless and low-income communities.
