Calling All Eye Care Professionals!

At Kansas City Free Eye Clinic, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality eye care, regardless of their financial situation. For many individuals in our community, lack of vision care means struggling with daily tasks, difficulty finding employment, or even facing safety risks. That’s why we’re committed to providing free, high-quality eye care to those who need it most—but we can’t do it alone.

As a volunteer-based organization, we rely on the dedication and generosity of eye care professionals to help us fulfill our mission. Whether you are an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or optician, your skills can have a life-changing impact on the lives of underserved individuals in Kansas City.

Why Volunteer With Us?

1. Make a Direct Impact

Your expertise can transform lives by helping individuals see clearly for the first time in years. As a volunteer, you will:

  • Conduct comprehensive eye exams to diagnose and address vision issues.
  • Provide essential treatments and prescriptions for corrective lenses.
  • Detect and refer patients for further care if needed.
  • Contribute to preventing vision loss in individuals who may not have access to eye care otherwise.

2. Focus on Patient Care

At Kansas City Free Eye Clinic, we prioritize patient-centered care by ensuring that our trained staff and student volunteers handle administrative and pre-exam procedures. This allows you to:

  • Concentrate on delivering high-quality care without the burden of paperwork.
  • Work efficiently in a well-organized, supportive clinical environment.
  • Spend more time on what truly matters—helping patients improve their vision.

3. Give Back on Your Schedule

We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we offer flexible volunteering opportunities. Whether you can commit to:

  • Regular shifts, contributing consistently to community eye care, OR
  • Occasional volunteer days, offering your expertise when your schedule allows,

Every hour you give makes a difference! Even a few hours of your time can help someone regain their independence, confidence, and quality of life through improved vision.
