Florida KidSight Foundation

The Florida KidSight Foundation is a FREE vision screening program administered by the Florida KidSight Foundation and Lions Club volunteers to detect vision problems that can cause Amblyopia (lazy eye) in children between the ages of 1 and 6 years old.

Why is the screeing necessary? The first few years of a child’s life are critical in the development of good vision. Preschoolers should have their vision checked for issues such as misaligned eyes and problems that are correctable with eyeglasses. These problems are not always evident by simply looking at a child. Young children often compensate for vision problems so well that parents, teachers, and pediatricians are unaware of a problem. By the time a child is old enough to be in primary grades, many of these common vision-robbing conditions can no longer be effectively treated.

Our mission is to provide leadership and infrastructure for the screening of children (ages 1 through 6) to enhance the early detection and treatment of vision impairments.

We are a non-profit organization that relies on donations and volunteerism to provide our services.

Every dollar counts... and goes to a great cause!
