Johnson & Johnson Vision Expands "Sight For Kids" Program to Bring Eye Care to More Children and Unveils New “Vision for Good” Community Impact Report
Johnson & Johnson Vision announces the expansion of the nonprofit program “Sight For Kids.” “Sight For Kids” is the world’s largest-known school-based eye health program. For nearly 20 years, the program has provided eye health education and access for over 37 million students in underserved communities globally.
The expansion of the program is a first in the U.S. and is designed to benefit students across four counties in South Florida. In collaboration with the Florida Heiken Children’s Vision program, a division of Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, the program will bring quality, comprehensive eye health services and treatment to students in low-income and underserved communities across Miami-Dade, Broward, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties.
“Sight For Kids” will provide no-cost eye exams and glasses to students with a goal of reaching an estimated 20,000 children across South Florida in its first year. The exams will be in full compliance with COVID-19 safety guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and the American Optometric Association. Read the entire announcement here.
