ACVO Member Overview

The ACVO-SAVES (ACVO®/Epicur Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening) program continues to grow each year, with approximately 91,500 Service Animals being given complimentary eye screening exams through the 2025 program. The program’s valuable services would not be possible without YOU. Thank you to all the ophthalmologists, technicians, and clinics that have participated over the years. We hope you will register to participate in a future ACVO-SAVES event!

We will again be utilizing the online sign-up form to better streamline the registration process. Registration for the 2026 event will again open for our board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists in January 2026.

Promotional tools, exam forms, etc. are updated annually by mid-March, and can be found on the Promotional Tools page of the website.
