01
Check In
Students are brought down by class or grade based on a predetermined schedule and check in with our onsite coordinator.
How It Works
An entire school. One day.
The Optical Academy® Award-Winning Mobile Vision Team arrives at your school with state-of-the-art equipment to provide FREE vision screenings, mobile eye exams, and 500+ eyeglasses for students to choose from. With our onsite lab option, students' glasses are made the same day.
What We Bring
A complete optical clinic — inside your school.
Optical Academy partners with school administrators, health departments, and sponsors to bring FREE eye exams and eyewear directly to students at their schools. Everything we need rolls in with our team — exam lanes, frame boards, dispensing stations, and our Mobile Vision Lab parked just outside.
An In & Out Onsite Process
Five steps. Zero hassle.
02
Vision Screening
Technicians perform all pretesting — autorefraction, color vision tests, and refractions — to identify students who need a full exam.
03
Eye Exam
The licensed optometrist confirms each prescription so students can move on to choose their eyewear with confidence.
04
Eyewear
Students browse 500+ frame styles. Our team helps each student find a pair they feel comfortable and confident in — pre-fit right then and there.
05
Checkout
Eyewear is processed the same day in our Onsite Mobile Lab, or shipped to the school within 2–4 weeks for higher prescriptions.

From first call to final fitting.
- 01
Scheduling
Choose a date and time frame for your Optical Academy onsite visit. A full school day historically yields the best attendance. Pick a large space such as a gymnasium, cafeteria, or auditorium.
- 02
Preparation
We need a student list with IDs, dates of birth, and grade levels to prepare forms. Your onsite coordinator helps choose the most efficient way to bring students down (by grade, period, etc.). Passive consent forms are distributed so all students are opted in unless they return an opt-out form.
- 03
Onsite Day
The Vision Team arrives one hour before start to set up inside the school. The Mobile Lab parks outside. Students are screened, examined, and choose eyewear. Forms are distributed for both passing and failing students to educate parents and staff on their visual abilities.
- 04
Post Visit
We send pass/fail and eyewear reports to designated administration. Any eyeglasses not dispensed onsite are mailed to the school within 2 weeks.
