Children’s Vision Care Voucher Programs

Voucher Application Update

As of 6/20/2024 VSP has notified our organization that they have paused the VSP Eyes of Hope Voucher Program and we will not be accepting new requests for applications. Previously approved individuals will be able to redeem their vouchers for an eye exam and glasses.

Please contact our staff with any questions or concerns: (414)-765-0505.

We are sorry for the impact this will have on the Wisconsinites we serve. As soon as we are notified that the applications are open, the online form will be reopened.

This pause does not affect the OneSight OnSight Voucher Program. If you would like to email, mail, or fax in an application it can be downloaded below.
