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.

Parents, myopia is more than just blurry vision! 👀🚨 If your child has myopia (nearsightedness), it’s not just about needing glasses, it’s a progressive condition that can lead to serious long-term complications if left unmanaged. According to the Mayo Clinic, myopia can cause:

📚 Struggles in school: Delays in reading, poor academic performance, difficulty with social interactions, and lower self-esteem.
😞 Reduced quality of life: Blurry vision can make daily tasks and activities frustrating and unenjoyable.
💥 Constant eyestrain & headaches: Uncorrected myopia can lead to discomfort and fatigue, making learning even harder.
⚠️ Safety risks: Poor distance vision can put your child and others at risk, especially when it comes to sports, crossing streets, or eventually driving.
👁️ Increased risk of serious eye diseases: Severe myopia raises the chances of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and even vision loss.

📢 The good news? You can take action NOW to slow myopia progression and protect your child’s future vision! Learn how we can help:

November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙👁️
Did you know diabetes can affect your eyes? High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of vision loss in adults.
The tricky part is that diabetic eye disease often has no symptoms in its early stages. You might not notice any change in your vision until damage has already happened. That’s why early detection matters so much.
When it’s caught early, treatment can help slow or prevent vision loss.
At Pacific Vision Foundation and Pacific Vision Surgery Center, we’re here to help you keep your eyes healthy for life. This November, schedule your diabetic eye exam and share this post with someone who could use the reminder. 💙

CRISPR-based gene-editing research continues to advance, including the development of a personalized therapy for an infant with a rare genetic disease, a milestone that could help pave the way for new approaches to treating genetic conditions.
It’s an exciting example of how quickly medical science is evolving and how advances in gene editing could ultimately shape care across many areas of medicine, including the treatment of inherited eye diseases.

During a thoughtful and warm conversation, eye surgeons shared how they built their solo and academic practices and discussed the joy they derive from their patients and professional networks.

In 2020, an estimated 43.3 million people worldwide were blind, a figure projected to rise to 61 million by 2050 as the global population grows and ages. Another 295 million people live with moderate to severe vision impairment.
But there is an encouraging part of the story: much of the world’s vision loss can be prevented or treated through early detection, access to care, corrective lenses, and surgery.
These numbers are an important reminder of why awareness and access to quality eye care matter. With timely diagnosis and treatment, we have an opportunity to protect sight and improve quality of life for millions of people around the world. 🌍

Today is World Sight Day 🌍, an annual global observance dedicated to raising awareness about blindness and vision impairment—and the millions of people around the world who still lack access to essential eye care.

We’re proud to stand alongside the global eye health community in working toward a future where everyone has the opportunity to see clearly
