Awarding Excellence in Pediatric Eye Care
Each year, the Good-Lite Pediatric Award honors outstanding students who are deeply committed to advancing pediatric eye care. This prestigious award recognizes the dedication and passion of individuals working to make a real difference in children’s health by improving early detection and providing high-quality eye care.
A Gift That Empowers Impact
The impact of this award goes beyond recognition. Each recipient is presented with an invaluable toolkit with 40 different products, worth over $1,500 USD, that includes all the essential tools, charts, and testing equipment required to start a new pediatric practice or enhance an existing one. From specialized eye charts to diagnostic tools, this comprehensive kit ensures that the recipients have everything they need to make an immediate impact in their communities.
Spotlight on a Recent Recipient
One recent recipient, Michelle Hoang, who graduated from Berkeley’s Optometry Program in 2024, shared her experience:
“Something in this gift set that stood out to me were the Hiding Heidi cards! During optometry school, I worked on a summer research project with Dr. Orel-Bixler, assessing various pediatric contrast sensitivity tests. I feel like I’ve come full circle since I was previously using Hiding Heidi cards for my student project and now receiving my own set to use in practice as a doctor!”

Shaping the Future of Pediatric Eye Care
By nurturing the talents and passions of tomorrow’s leaders in pediatric eye care, the Good-Lite Pediatric Award helps shape a brighter future for children around the world. Early detection and proper care are critical to ensuring healthy vision for children, and with the support of this award, the next generation of eye care professionals is equipped to provide just that.
We are proud to play a part in fostering the growth of these future leaders and advancing the important field of pediatric eye care, one award at a time.
