Based in the Washington South Sound area, Hope Vision Foundation serves over 40,000 people suffering from low vision. Only 2% of Low Vision patients seek vision rehabilitation due to barriers including; awareness, difficulty accessing services and training, the costs of care and devices, and anxiety and depression. Hope Vision Foundation is here to help by providing individualized resource connections and education services for visually impaired patients and their care partners.
Founded in April, 2017, our mission is to empower people with permanent vision loss to live their best lives. Hope Vision Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that empowers patients with low vision and blindness. By improving access to caregiver education, low vision resources and adaptive aids, we empower patients to regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
We know that excellent eye care and awareness go hand-in-hand. Because of this, we work with local public and private organizations to provide vision education to the community.
We have partnered with local Libraries and Community centers in 2018 and 2019. In 2020 will are working with Pierce County Aging and Disability Services and local Lions Clubs. We also had our first Intern from the WA State Division of Services for the Blind OTC.
