Preserve Vision Florida

Preserve Vision Florida's mission is to promote a lifetime of healthy vision care through vision screenings, eye health education, and referral services. These services include personal consultations regarding eye health concerns as well as assistance in navigating our network of community partners. We provide financial assistance for eye exams and prescription glasses, as well as for eye surgeries. Our vision programs help preschoolers at risk of vision loss from childhood eye diseases, school children who depend on good vision for learning, and adults threatened by glaucoma and other serious vision problems. Screened over 18,000 children and adults, provided eye exams and glasses for those who could not afford them. The Organization also provides education on vision screening which leads to certification, Preserve Vision is a reputable source for health care professionals such as teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, health education students and others seeking to implement vision screenings. The training provided by Preserve Vision is supported by the work of optometrists and ophthalmologists. Educating these future vision screeners helps build a network of trained individuals able to conduct vision screenings. Preserve Vision fulfills its mission through several key programs that provide vision screenings, healthy eye seminars, and other educational initiatives. Preserve Vision conducts screenings in central Florida as well as providing services through the statewide domestic violence network. These screenings are available to both adults and children. For those who qualify, Preserve Vision provides vouchers for medical examinations and eyewear, if needed.
