September is Healthy Aging Month! 👁️ Protecting your eyesight as you age is important. Regular eye exams can catch issues early, before everyday tasks like reading, cooking, or driving become a struggle. 

At Pacific Vision Foundation, we’re committed to providing excellent eye care for all, including the seniors in our community. This month, we’re shining a light on the importance of vision health as we age - because clear sight means a fuller, more independent life.

AI just changed the game for one of the deadliest cancers. 🧠
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an AI model that can detect pancreatic cancer up to 3 years before a clinical diagnosis. 

Here’s why that matters:
More than 85% of pancreatic cancer cases are diagnosed after the disease has already spread, and five-year survival rates remain below 15%. Early detection isn’t just helpful, but it’s the difference between curative treatment and running out of options.

The AI system, called REDMOD, identified nearly three times as many early cancers as specialists reviewing the same scans without AI assistance, particularly in scans taken more than two years before diagnosis. It works by measuring hundreds of subtle changes in tissue texture and structure.

This is what the future of medicine looks like. Not replacing doctors, but giving them a tool that sees what wasn’t possible to see before. 🔬

Millions of people rely on contact lenses every day — but proper care is what keeps eyes healthy while you wear them.

A few reminders from Pacific Vision Foundation:

    •     Always wash your hands before handling lenses
    •     Never sleep in lenses unless approved by your eye doctor
    •     Replace lenses and solution as directed — don’t stretch their lifespan
    •    Avoid water contact (showering, swimming) while wearing lenses
    •    Schedule regular eye exams to make sure your prescription and lens fit are still right

Contact lenses are safe when used correctly,  but misuse can lead to serious infections and even vision loss. Your eyes are worth the extra care. 💙

Accessibility starts with listening—not assuming.

A simple question like “How can I support you?” gives each person the opportunity to identify what they need, whether that means clearer communication, help navigating a space or a different way of receiving information.

During Disability Pride Month and throughout the year, let’s lead with respect, listen to individual preferences and make inclusion part of every interaction.
