Find an Eye Care Provider: Vision Care Resource Guide

Approximately two thirds (13,000) Philadelphia school students who fail a school nurse vision screen do not get a follow-up eye exam. School nurses report that one of the main reasons parents say they do not take their kids for follow-up care is because they do not know where to take them.

PCCY developed a Vision Care Guide to help parents, school nurses and counselors, health care providers and others who care for children access vision health care resources in Philadelphia. The guide lists over 100 eye care providers in the city that accept Medical Assistance and some programs that provide services to children who are uninsured or don’t have vision coverage.
