Access To Medical Services For Foster Children in San Diego County

Does your foster child need glasses?

We may be able to assist in having your child receive an eye exam and glasses, if needed, through a collaborative partnership with a local LensCrafters.  No foster child should go without an eye exam and glasses due to lack of insurance funding.  Email us or call us at (760) 743-7781 for more information.
