Eyeglasses for Seniors Program

Because healthy vision is such an important part of our everyday lives and because we rely on it during virtually every waking moment, Osceola County has launched an eyeglass certificate program for Senior Citizens, whose financial situations may prevent them from taking care of this precious personal resource.

Caring for your vision begins by protecting the eyes from injury and disease, recognizing the warning signs of vision problems and eye disease, and correcting or treating vision problems as they arise. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than 150 million people in the U.S. wear some type of corrective eyewear to correct refractive errors. But seniors on fixed incomes can struggle to purchase eyewear when it is needed.
