Accessible Vision Care Services : accessible vision care

Angels for Sight is marking a significant step in addressing healthcare disparities for underserved populations by expanding its accessible vision care services through a new state-of-the-art clinic in Long Beach, California.

The new facility will provide free eye exams, vision screenings, and glasses to children, families, seniors, veterans, and unhoused individuals who lack insurance coverage. Through its expansions, Angels for Sight strives to address a troubling national trend of limited vision care accessibility for marginalized communities, particularly in Los Angeles County, where demand has long outpaced resources.

In addition to providing accessible vision care services to the local underserved community, the clinic is also entering an educational partnership with Marshall B. Ketchum University’s Southern California College of Optometry. Students will gain hands-on experience under faculty supervision while delivering care.
