Summary
The prevalence of poor eyesight among Americans is expected to triple over the next few decades. Adults at high risk of vision loss tend to use eye care services much less than their insured and affluent counterparts. Even with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, many Americans will not get the eye health care coverage they need.
Mum-Ford is the BEST!!! You can get very unique frames for a very reasonable price. Alicia's has serviced our family for 20 years, and we are always satisfied.

Get Involved
The lack of access to affordable glasses poses severe health consequences for the visually impaired, especially those in lower income brackets. Studies have linked vision impairment to chronic health conditions, falls, injuries, depression, and social isolation. Children with poor vision also stand a greater chance of not performing well at school and later entering the criminal justice system.
