Community Health Centers Offer a Vision for Quality Eye Care

Ronald Seals is just one of the 50 million Americans who are uninsured or underinsured and are often forced to approach eye care as a luxury rather than a necessity. The price of medication and the cost of appointments deter patients from getting regular eye exams, which can result in irreversible vision loss if problems are left undetected and untreated. It is this reality that set an agenda for Near North Health Services Corporation, a non-profit community based health center to offer ophthalmology services where patients can receive eye exams at little or no cost.
