16th Annual ACVO/Epicur Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening Event Registration Launches, TODAY, April 1st, 9am Mountain Time!

 

 

Every year ~300 board certified veterinary ophthalmologist members of the ACVO choose to provide 5,000-8,000 of complimentary eye exam screenings to qualifying Service & Working Animals across the US. This year additional cities in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and Switzerland have been added to the list.  

Registration for the screenings opens today, April 1st at 9am Mountain Time through a digital form on our website: www.ACVO-SAVES.org 

 

 


ACVO-SAVES, STEPS TO REGISTER


STEP ONE: Check if a city near you has a clinic participating this year. This is our final list for 2026.  

STEP TWO: Review the Qualifications, Expectations, and Registration Information to be sure that your Service or Working Animal is qualified for this event. 

STEP THREE: If you wish to participate, please find the event registration form link provided on the bottom of that same Qualifications, Expectations, and Registration page.  

STEP FOUR:  Add Servic...@ACVO.org to your safe senders list in your email client! You should receive an automatic confirmation email to the address provided. This confirmation contains the participating clinic link you will need to contact and make your ACVO-SAVES eye screening appointment in May. (Kindly check your spam/junk folder and wait at least 30 minutes before emailing us to request a duplicate confirmation).  

STEP FIVE: Call or email your preferred location to make an appointment. This step must be completed to secure a spot at the clinic you prefer. Plan to provide your registration number, name (yours and Service Animal), type of Service Animal, and know that the clinic may require you to bring written proof of Service Animal training to the appointment. Appointments are on a first come, first serve basis and some locations may have limitations. One Service Animal is allowed per registration. 

Please remember that locations/appointments may be limited in your area, they can change annually. We ask for patience and kindness to the clinics' staff. Everyone participating is volunteering their time and resources, and we would love for this event to continue to be a positive experience for all involved!

Don't forget to follow us on our Facebook and tag us on our Instagram accounts! We love seeing your Service Animal's 'happy face' when they visit our clinics. Thank you!

This program would not be successful without the generosity of our Diplomates and the financial support of our namesake sponsor, Epicur Pharma.
