๐Ÿ‘“ Free Eye Exams and Glasses

Topic:

  • General Health

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Florida Heiken Childrenโ€™s Vision Program

๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ We help Florida children see their very best! This program gives free eye exams and glasses to eligible school students.

๐ŸŒŸ Why it matters: Good vision helps a child learn, grow and feel confident. Around 80% of children who are checked through this program need glasses.

โœ… Who can join:

  • Students in Pre-K through 12th grade

  • Children who go to public schools in Florida

  • Families who need extra help with eye care

โœ… What you get:

  • A full eye exam by a licensed doctor.

  • Eye drops for a proper check-up (normal to feel light-sensitive for a few hours).

  • Free glasses if the doctor says you need them.

๐Ÿ“ฒ How it works:

  • Apply online at the Heiken portal or use a paper form if needed.

  • If your child qualifies, the school will send a voucher with doctor info.

  • Then you call to make an appointment.

  • In some schools with many students, a mobile unit may visit the school.
