  Santa Barbara Vision Care ProgramThe right to sight begins at home. Santa Barbara County is sometimes called the American Riviera. It is a beautiful spot on the California coast with a relaxed atmosphere amid a lush landscape of picturesque towns, wineries and vineyards, avocado orchards and palm trees alongside warm, sandy beaches. Yet, there is a substantial population in Santa Barbara County who work everyday in our community, yet still cannot afford provide vision care for themselves and families. Established in the late 1980s, SEE International’s Santa Barbara Vision Care Program (SBVCP) responds to the immense local community that cannot afford vision care. Without access to proper vision care a person is at increased risk of suffering further eye impairment or even blindness. This effort provides comprehensive vision and glaucoma screenings, eyeglasses – courtesy of the Santa Barbara Eyeglass Factory – medications, and eye surgery at no cost to the patient. Our patient referrals come from collaborative partnerships with many local organizations including; social service agencies, schools, churches and county clinics. Who Makes It Possible?The SBVCP is made possible by local ophthalmologists and others who donate their time and services, including organizations who donate in-kind medications, facility suppliers, and financial donors. |
