Comprehensive eye care helps children see clearly, learn confidently and thrive
FoundCare is pleased to announce that pediatric optometry services are now available at its Riviera Beach Health Center, expanding access to comprehensive vision care for children and families throughout Palm Beach County.
The addition of pediatric optometry strengthens FoundCare’s commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare under one roof while helping address the need for accessible vision care in the community.
“Healthy vision is one of the building blocks for academic success, confidence, and lifelong well-being,” said Christopher Irizarry, Chief Executive Officer of FoundCare. “Through the addition of pediatric optometry services, FoundCare is expanding access to essential care that can make a meaninful difference in a child's development, educational achievement, and overall quality of life. We are proud to bring this important service closer to home for the families we serve.”
Many children experiencing vision problems may not realize they are having difficulty seeing clearly. Signs of a vision issue can also be easy to overlook. Undiagnosed vision problems can affect reading, concentration, classroom participation and academic performance. Comprehensive eye exams can help identify concerns early and ensure children receive the care they need.
FoundCare's Pediatric Optometry Clinic now offers:
- Comprehensive pediatric eye exams
- School-age vision assessments
- Eyeglass prescriptions
- On-site access to glasses
- Coordinated care with FoundCare providers
Located at FoundCare's Riviera Beach Health Center, the pediatric optometry service works alongside FoundCare's pediatric and other healthcare services to support a more coordinated approach to each child's overall health.
Helping Children See, Learn and Thrive
Good vision plays an important role in a child's ability to learn, participate in school and confidently engage in everyday activities. Yet children may not always recognize that what they are seeing is different from what is considered normal.
By integrating pediatric eye care into FoundCare's comprehensive care model, families now have greater access to high-quality vision services in a trusted community healthcare setting. The service also gives families the convenience of accessing vision care alongside the other healthcare services available through FoundCare.
A Brighter Future Starts with Healthy Vision
The addition of pediatric optometry represents another step in FoundCare's mission to improve health outcomes and expand access to high-quality healthcare for children and families throughout Palm Beach County.
Pediatric optometry appointments are now available. Parents and caregivers may call 561-432-5849 or submit an appointment request.
