Florida Heiken Children's Vision Program

The Florida Heiken Children’s Vision Program is offering comprehensive eye exams and glasses if necessary, for Florida public school students who qualify to participate. This program is available at no cost to you or your child’s school. Please note that we do not share student’s address or phone with any other agency.

Comprehensive Eye Exam: administered by a licensed eye doctor (optometrist), includes a thorough examination of your child’s vision and eye health. In order to perform the examination, eye drops are used to dilate the pupils, which allows the doctor to get the best view of the entire retina for the most accurate diagnosis of eye health and prescription information needed for eye glasses, should they benefit your child. The drops are safe, can cause slight burning sensation when administered, and adverse reactions are extremely rare. Light sensitivity and blurry near vision are normal for up to 4-6 hours following the exam.
