Help the American Academy of Ophthalmology through its EyeCare America program make a difference in YOUR community by spreading the word or becoming a volunteer ophthalmologist.

Learn About EyeCare America
Since 1985, EyeCare America, through its network of volunteer ophthalmologists, has helped more than 2 million people access a no out-of-pocket cost medical eye exam and eye health resources. The underserved in your neighborhood—especially seniors and those at risk for glaucoma—could benefit from the sight-saving services we provide.

Access Free Resources
We offer information you can easily use to help raise awareness about eye health and how those that qualify can obtain a no out-of-pocket cost medical eye exam. Access these materials which include newsletter blurbs, social media posts, flyers/handouts, presentations, TV and radio spots in English and Spanish, and more today! With your assistance in sharing information about EyeCare America, we can reach more adults and help them receive sight-saving eye care.

Become a Volunteer
If you are a practicing ophthalmologist member looking for a more hands-on approach to helping, you can volunteer, right from your offices! On average, volunteers see from one to three patients per year.
