EyeCare America Offers Free Eye Exams

EyeCare America, a public service program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, is reminding seniors that sometimes, "The Best Things in Life are Free," and, that you can't put a price tag on love, friendship or the importance of eye sight. This Valentine's Day campaign encourages those age 65 and older to call EyeCare America's Seniors EyeCare Program to see if they qualify for a free exam.

EyeCare America's national Valentine's Day health campaign runs through the month of February encouraging people to call the EyeCare America Seniors EyeCare Program. This program offers eye exams and up to one year of medical care at no out-ofpocket cost for seniors who are without an ophthalmologist (a medical eye doctor).

To see if you, a loved one or a friend, 65 and older, is eligible to receive a referral for an eye exam and care, call 1-800-222-EYES (3937). The Seniors EyeCare Program help line operates 24 hours a day, every day, year-round.
