The Visionary Ophthalmology Foundation, also known as the Visionary Foundation, is a registered, charitable, non-profit organization (US IRS 501c3) established in 2012 under the leadership of Dr. J. Alberto Martinez, a surgical ophthalmologist passionate about giving the best vision and eye care possible to those less fortunate.
This passion to serve the less fortunate is deeply personal. Dr. Martinez himself immigrated to the United States as a young person from Colombia in search of a better life. After years of personal struggle, Dr. Martinez ultimately earned his Medical Doctorate in Ophthalmology from Georgetown University and went on to establish his own medical practice – Visionary Eye Doctors – providing a full range of ophthalmology and optometry services through several locations in the metro Washington, DC area.
The Visionary Foundation is the charitable vehicle through which Dr. Martinez and many others give back to society and mobilize support on behalf of underserved and under-resourced populations, domestically and internationally. While we may be small currently, with your help, we aim to be a global leader in expanding access to advanced, charitable eye care services, education and research to better ensure that all individuals, regardless of their location or financial status, can benefit from high-quality eye care.
Join us in giving the gift of sight with healing hands for the blind!
