Providing Glasses in the US Agency Resources

New Eyes works with social service agencies in one of two ways. Typically, an agency will complete an Agency Application Form (PDF) on behalf of an individual client and send the completed application to New Eyes for review. If the application is approved, New Eyes will send the voucher to the agency within a few weeks for transmittal to the client.

In addition, New Eyes has developed a network of agencies throughout the country that periodically receive a batch of vouchers for direct distribution. These agencies review client applications based on Voucher Distribution Guidelines developed by New Eyes.

School nurses may also request a voucher on behalf of their low-income students. Rather than complete an application, nurses should write to New Eyes on school letterhead explaining the student's need for new glasses and indicating a financial qualifier such as participation in the school lunch program.

It is important that agencies and school nurses help clients locate dispensers in their local area who are willing to participate in our program and accept the price guidelines as full payment.
