Volunteer UK ophthalmologists and residents providing eye care across Kentucky.

Local Outreach

Kentuckians who are uninsured, underinsured, have low incomes, or face barriers to accessing quality eye care often go without essential vision services.

Our outreach program exists to ensure that everyone in Kentucky, from urban centers to rural communities, has the opportunity to maintain healthy vision, access eye exams, receive eyeglasses, and be connected with follow-up care. We do so by partnering with local clinics, community organizations, and our dedicated volunteers to bring free and low-cost eye care directly to communities in need.
