Message on behalf of OEPF Board chair on the passing of Dr Bob Sanet Linda Sanet
Dear Linda,

On behalf of the Optometric Extension Program Foundation Board of Directors and the entire OEPF community, we share our heartfelt condolences with you on the passing of your beloved husband, Dr. Bob Sanet. Bob was not only a remarkable clinician, teacher, and leader in behavioral optometry—he was a man whose kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

His passion for helping others, his visionary approach to patient care, and his dedication to elevating our profession have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire us. Those who learned from Bob often recall how, after a long day of lectures, he would stay late in the lecture hall or clinic, pulling up a chair next to a young practitioner or therapist to answer “just one more question.” In those quiet moments—often long after the official program had ended—Bob turned formal teaching into genuine mentorship, making each person feel seen, encouraged, and capable of more than they believed possible.

We also recognize the unwavering partnership you shared with Bob throughout his career. Your support, presence, and warmth enriched the lives of so many in our community. Please know that the OEPF family holds you close in thought during this difficult time.

Dr. Bob Sanet transformed vision therapy by combining clinical excellence with a deeply human, patient-centered approach that helped practitioners worldwide see vision as integral to learning, performance, and quality of life. Through decades of teaching and mentorship, he inspired generations of optometrists and vision therapists to embrace neuroplasticity, think beyond symptoms, and use vision therapy as a powerful tool for meaningful change in their patients’ lives.

Bob will be deeply missed, but the impact of his life and work will live on in every practitioner, patient, and colleague he influenced.

With deepest sympathy,

The OEPF Board of Directors and Community
