ACIS is an organization made up of patient volunteers who dedicate much of their time to the ocular melanoma community. Our patent volunteers work to connect patients with buddies, raise funds through our in-house events, and educate the public on ocular melanoma and the importance of early detection through speaking engagements. A Cure In Sight raises funds from outside the ocular melanoma community through our own community events, sale of awareness products, and general donations.
ACIS has developed a line of ocular melanoma awareness products available in our Store tab. Through our sale of shirts, jewelry, and awareness products we fund our programs, patient financial treatment support, and contribute to on going research. We continually develop new products and designs. Our current product line has been designed by ocular melanoma patients or family members.

Financial Assistance
ACIS provides financial support to patients who are financially devastated by the diagnosis and treatment of ocular melanoma. After the initial treatment of the eye, there is often a lifetime of procedures and medications necessary to preserve the treated eye as well as surveillance for metastatic disease.
To receive financial help, a patient must complete an application and provide a medical bill, rent or mortgage, essential utilities, statement or insurance premium bill. All funds are paid directly to the provider or company with the exception of co-pay reimbursement. Each qualifying patient is eligible to receive UP TO $1,500 one time, towards expenses including gift cards for gasoline and groceries. Applications can take 30 days to be approved. A detailed copy of the bill must be provided for consideration.
Due to funding limitations, we are unable to cover other health conditions or provide support that are not directly related to the initial or metastatic ocular melanoma diagnosis. All applications are subject to a review and approval based on the demonstration of need presented to the ACIS committee. Applications are accepted but can be limited due to the funds on hand by ACIS at the time of application. Funding is not guaranteed. Download the application and return it to contact@acureinsight.org or mail it to PO Box 58113, Raleigh NC 27658.
