Pacific Vision Foundation

Pacific Vision Foundation Pacific Vision Foundation aims to foster the highest level of eye care services to all, irrespective of their financial status.

Pacific Vision Foundation was founded in 1977 with the mission to prevent blindness and to improve vision for those who see imperfectly by fostering the highest level of eye care for the public. This is to be accomplished through contributing to excellence in patient care, improving eye care education of both medical professionals and the public, and supporting innovative ophthalmic research.

👁️ Regular eye exams don’t just protect your vision — they protect your overall health.

Many eye diseases, like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, show no early symptoms. Early detection can save your sight. 💙

🏡👷‍♂️ October is Home Eye Safety Month—and major home projects bring major risks to your vision.

These two remind us that no matter the scale of the work, safety goggles are essential. 👁️✨

Protecting your eyes means protecting your future.

👓 Did you know? A San Francisco school-based vision program published in JAMA Ophthalmology (2021) found that when children from low-income families were given free eyeglasses, 71% wore them consistently throughout the school year—rates as strong as their higher-income peers.

The difference wasn’t willingness—it was access.

On World Sight Day, we’re reminded that access to care is the barrier we can remove. At PVF, we’re committed to making sight-saving solutions available for everyone, regardless of income. 💙👁️

This Child Health Day, we’re reminded that caring for kids’ eyes is just as important as caring for their overall health. 👁️✨

Early vision screening can detect issues before they impact learning, development, and confidence. At PVF, we believe every child deserves a clear view of their future. 💙

Let’s keep children’s health—and vision—at the heart of our communities.

🎥 From our last Barkan Day, Dr. Andrew Calman shared timeless wisdom for caring for patients, especially fitting on World Teachers’ Day:

👉 “Always address the unspoken question: ‘Doctor, am I going to go blind?’ Patients may never ask it, but they always think it. And at the end of the visit, don’t forget to ask: ‘Do you have questions?’”

On this day, we celebrate not only teachers in classrooms but also the physician-educators who teach us to listen, care, and guide patients with empathy. 💙👁️
