Children's Charity Provides Eye Care, Eye Exams and Eyeglasses for Children

Description

The Jeppesen VisionQuest program began in Orange County Public Schools with little more than a handful of volunteers and a dream. Prior to 1994, most at-risk Florida children born with poor vision were destined for social and academic failure. Since then, Jeppesen VisionQuest, a nonprofit organization that provides free comprehensive vision exams and state-of-the-art new glasses, has worked to insure that Florida's most vulnerable children can see clearly enough to read.

The program helps teachers & nurses to identify children in need of help, recruits doctors to give free vision exams and has developed a state-of-the-art optical lab that manufactures beautiful, contemporary glasses.

JVQ also provides eyeglasses for every known non profit children’s vision programs in the state. From the Dr. Bruce Heiken Memorial Fund in Dade County, to the Vision Is Priceless Council in Duval County, the Eyes Program in Broward County, the Palm Beach Health Care District and many of the Lions Clubs throughout the state. It is because of these great collaborative efforts that we can say that in Florida, every child is able to see clearly enough to read.
