Save Your Vision Month - Children's Coloring Posters
2023-SYVM-POSTER

Each year, the Pennsylvania Optometric Association and the Vision Conservation Institute design coloring sheets in honor of Save Your Vision Month. There is no charge for members to use these coloring sheets. Simply click here to view and download this year's coloring sheet. 

Save Your Vision Month

Through the years, members have come up with many creative uses for the coloring sheets in promoting the importance of good eye health and vision care to youngsters. Use the coloring sheets to sponsor a coloring contest in your office or neighborhood, hand out a coloring sheet to students during a visit to a day care or elementary school, or distribute them in your office as kids or their parents get their eyes examined. Be sure to display the posters in your waiting room after they have been colored.

To aid your SYVM Celebration, VCI has designed a certificate of participation for use with the coloring posters. You can distribute it during your coloring contest so that all kids who participate are winners.

SYVM is also a perfect time to schedule visits to elementary school classrooms to remind children about the important role vision plays in their lives. Download a sample letter that you can personalize, copy on your letterhead and distribute to the kids when you visit their classrooms. The letter informs parents that you visited their child's classroom to educate them about their eyes, and the coloring posters are fun take-home reminders for the kids.

Third Party Payer Issue Reporting Form
Third Party Payer Issue Reporting Form

The POA office often gets calls asking for assistance from doctors when they are unable to get paid by a third party carrier. Sometimes, the information provided is incomplete and POA is less able to help than we would like. Therefore, we have developed this Third Party Payer Issue Reporting Form for those instances when members are unable to resolve payment issues on their own and are requesting help from POA.
