Community Vision Fund

 

The Community Vision Fund is a charitable based vision program solely sponsored and completely funded by The EyeDoctors. The program was designed to provide financial assistance specifically in the area of improving eye health and quality of vision for persons experiencing financial hardship but not meeting Title XIX (Welfare) criteria. The Community Vision Fund was started in 1984 and was established to benefit the communities in which The EyeDoctors are located to show our appreciation of the support each community has given our offices. Please call the office located nearest to you to find out more details.

To date, over $195,000 in goods and services has been donated.

Supporting Our Military

The EyeDoctors have a history of strong ties to our Armed Forces and continue to support the soldiers, their families and all military support personnel. Our offices in Junction City and Manhattan help with the vision care demands of the staff, soldiers and dependents of Ft. Riley which recently has been taken to a whole new level with the expansion of Ft. Riley and the return of the Big Red 1 – the 1st Infantry Division. Our office in Leavenworth is convenient for exams and has an in-house lab for those short notice situations for those associated with Ft. Leavenworth. Our offices are also involved in visual and ocular rehabilitation from injuries and the harsh desert environments. From supporting the Military Affairs Council, the office of Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the VFW Foundation, Ft. Riley Fall Apple Day, to providing emergency, short notice exams, mailing contact lenses to deployed soldiers and providing same day glasses to deploying soldiers, The EyeDoctors are there when those defending our country need us.
