Today, Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (ChapCare) announces extended hours at its new state-of-the-art optometry clinic located in Pasadena. ChapCare’s optometry clinic provides comprehensive eye exams and a large selection of affordable eye glasses.

The tidal wave of patients’ already taking advantage of ChapCare’s optometry services, for children and adults, has been overwhelming. In keeping with its guiding principles, ChapCare serves as the community safety net, by providing comprehensive primary healthcare services to low income and uninsured individuals and families. On July 6, 2015, ChapCare’s state-of-the-art optometry clinic will be open Monday – Friday, from 8:00am – 5:00pm, allowing families more flexibility in addressing their eye care needs.

“Previously low- or no-cost optometry services have been very difficult to come by in the City of Pasadena,” said Margaret B. Martinez MPH, ChapCare’s Chief Executive Officer. “As the only community health center in the Pasadena area we are happy to be able to expand access to this service for the residents of the City and its surrounding communities.”

ChapCare’s new optometry clinic is located at 2055 Lincoln Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103. Chapcare provides low-or no-cost optometry services (Medi-Cal and Medicare). If you do not have insurance or have a plan we do not accept, eye exams and glasses are available at a low cost.
