In
honor of Glaucoma Awareness Month taking place in January
2010, EyeCare America, a public service program of the Foundation of
the American Academy of Ophthalmology, encourages those
without insurance to take advantage of its national Glaucoma
EyeCare Program. The program offers glaucoma eye exams for
uninsured patients who are at increased risk for glaucoma.
To see if you, a loved one or a friend, is eligible to receive
a referral for a FREE eye exam, or to request free
eye care information, call 1-800-391-EYES (3937),
24 hours a day, every day, year round. All eligible callers
receive a referral to one of EyeCare America's 7,000 volunteer
ophthalmologists. For more information visit www.EyeCareAmerica.org.
