Ran across an interesting bit of financial help in Ohio for kids participating in sports. The Ohio Ophthalmological Society has a program, Play Hard, Don't Blink that provides free eye protective gear for kids within 300% of the poverty level. This includes prescription goggles to individual children, and free nonprescription eyewear (baseball/softball batting helmets and nonprescription goggles) to teams. For more information, contact them at (614) 527-6799.
Also in the news, according to Julie's List, Medicaid as of October 2012, now covers one eye exam and one pair of eyeglasses every two years. There may be a copay of $2.
For more financial help in vision nationwide, including eyeglasses, exams, and surgery, visit the National Eye Institute's page on various types of financial resources in vision care.
