Pacific Vision Foundation

Pacific Vision Foundation (PVF) aims to provide excellent eye care to all, without regard for ability to pay.

Most vision loss is preventable or treatable, yet even in our prosperous community here in the San Francisco Bay Area, eye care is unattainable for many.   And, the need is growing due to our aging population and the diabetes epidemic. 

For over 40 years, PVF has donated millions of dollars for the restoration of sight.

PVF opened The Eye Institute headquarters at 711 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco in 2016.  The Eye Institute is home to the CPMC Department of Ophthalmology Residency Program, Clinical Faculty offices, the Frank Stein and Paul S. May Center for Low Vision Rehabilitation, and the Lions Eye Clinic, which provides ophthalmological services to disadvantaged patients.

We are now launching an initiative to broaden our reach, and to bring vision care to those in need in our community.
