National Association for Free Clinics

The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) is a nonprofit 501c(3) organization whose website contains a free locator of clinics across the United States. Clinics vary in type of health care offered and all may not offer eye exams. However, we recommend contacting those clinics near you to ask for guidance and direction on where to receive a free eye exam.
