Eye and vision health is important, but they are not always affordable. This is especially true when you already live on a budget and have little extra money to spare. Many people consider regular eye care a luxury they cannot afford rather than a necessity for that exact reason. However, help is available to make optometry services affordable if you are willing to spend a bit of time digging into them.
Let’s look at low or no-cost eye exams and glasses programs near you!
Peak Vista
With a team of board-certified services to help patients acquire the medical, behavioral sciences and dental care they need, Peak Vista is a great resource in the Eastern Colorado region. The program is dedicated to providing users with effective preventative care to prevent serious health issues through high-quality support. This includes eye health care.
Boys & Girls Club
The Boys & Girls Clubs offer at-risk minors access to serval different programs designed to boost their access to proper medical care as well as teach them the skills they need to become leaders of their communities. These services help ensure that all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location, have the same opportunities to live healthy and productive lives. Children can often find eye exams and glasses at no cost through the Clubs.
Veterans Optometry Partners of America (VOPA)
After sacrificing so much to serve the United States, veterans deserve the best medical care possible. VOPA works under this belief, securing personalized eye care for veterans and their families located on the Front Range.
Medicaid/Medicare
Medicaid and Medicare provide health care and programs to patients across the United States. Medicaid is dedicated to low-income individuals, while Medicare service is primarily based upon age or disability. Eye Love Care accepts straight Medicare and all United Healthcare or AARP Medicare Advantage plans. Advantage plans we accept are limited to United Health plans at this time.
Eye Love Care can provide glasses at no cost to people 20 years of age and younger through the Medicaid program. Medicaid does not cover glasses for people 21 years and older so we have put together many low-cost options for adult Medicaid recipients, regular Medicare recipients, and folks that are just looking for something more affordable than most optometry offices can provide.
