Pacific Vision Foundation

Pacific Vision Foundation (PVF) is dedicated to improving health equity in eye health and vision in collaboration with a community of physicians and other partners providing care and training. In 2020, PVF opened Pacific Vision Surgery Center, a brand-new 2 Operatory Room Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in our Eye Institute building, to ensure more access to cataract, glaucoma and retina surgeries for patients from Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) referred to our partner Lions Eye Foundation (LEF)/CPMC/Sutter Clinic, which in turn refers patients to PVSC who need surgery, at no cost to them. For more than 40 years PVF has supported the physicians and researchers providing care to the under-served and has provided support services for the Department of Ophthalmology at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) Residency Program. Our work ensures the next generation of eye care specialists have the expertise they need to build thriving careers, while helping some of the most vulnerable members of our community gain access to sight-saving surgeries. PVF is proud to play a significant role in leading edge training and research, and direct line to access to care as we work towards equity in eye health.
