Northwest Vision Institute, PLLC

We’re so excited and proud that NVI is the first clinic in Washington to be able to offer Abiliti, the only FDA approved orthokeratology contact lens for myopia management.
Myopia is an international epidemic with long term implications for vision, ocular health, and self-esteem. We’re so glad that research-backed technology is available at our fingertips. If your kids are increasingly becoming more and more nearsighted, they may qualify for Abiliti, or one of our other myopia management programs.
Contact our clinic to learn more!

Every spare moment we get, we’re training! Ophthalmology is one of the most data driven specialities out there and we have the equipment to boot. This means the techs are always practicing to get the best measurements possible.

Our friends at Congregations For The Homeless in Bellevue do amazing work every day.

Thank you Northwest Vision Institute, PLLC!
Paul had only been at our shelter for a few weeks when he accidentally broke his glasses. connected him with NW Vision Institute, who got him in for an appointment and gave him a new pair of glasses—all at no cost to Paul or CFH. They have helped so many of our clients to better see hope for their future.
