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.

Connection is at the heart of Barkan Day — across generations of ophthalmologists, mentors, residents, alumni, and friends who continue to shape the future of eye care.

This year’s 40th Annual Barkan Day was a meaningful celebration of that shared legacy, bringing our community together to learn, reflect, reconnect, and look ahead.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone event so special.

We are so excited to welcome Piraya, our new Operations Coordinator, to the PVF team!

Piraya grew up right here in San Francisco and went on to study at UC Davis. After graduating, she lived in Japan, where she taught English in a small village through the JET Program and later worked with the local tourism board.

Her time abroad deepened her appreciation for community, connection, and showing up for others. Now back home in San Francisco, Piraya brings that same passion and dedication to PVF and the community she grew up in. We’re so happy to have her on the team!

Dry eyes can be more than just uncomfortable — they can make everyday tasks harder, from reading to working on a screen.

Stinging, burning, itchiness, redness, or irritation may all be signs your eyes aren’t producing enough tears to stay healthy and comfortable. If symptoms persist, worsen, or start affecting your daily life, it may be time to see an ophthalmologist.

For someone living with cataracts, surgery can mean more than clearer vision — it can mean renewed independence, confidence, and connection.

This Cataract Awareness Month, we’re sharing a glimpse of a cataract surgery made possible through compassionate care and donor support.

At Pacific Vision Foundation, we believe financial barriers should never stand between a patient and the sight-restoring care they need.

Your donation can support life-changing eye care for patients in our community. Give today! https://bit.ly/PVF-Give

This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm the importance of building a more welcoming and inclusive world — in health care and beyond.
