OBJECTIVE: To describe the School Health Program (PSE) eye health action in Brazil, based on the PSE actions monitoring system. METHODS: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study using data from the Primary Health Care Information System from 2014 to 2019. RESULTS: data on 153,073 PSE eye health action activities and 5,697,109 participants were found. Activities increased by 65.1% in the period from 2014 to 2019. The average number of actions carried out in participating schools was 4.35 (95%CI 4.00;4.70). National average coverage of the action was 8.32% (95%CI 6.31;10.33) in the period. In 2019, 15,325 students were identified as having vision changes. CONCLUSION: We found that PSE eye health interventions have grown over the years in Brazil as a whole, therefore contributing to the prevention of visual impairment and blindness in Brazilian students.
