DLV Vision: A Lasting Commitment to Community

Community Involvement at the Core  

DLV Vision’s mission extends far beyond delivering exceptional LASIK, cataract surgery, and eye care. The practice takes pride in supporting initiatives that improve quality of life locally and globally, ensuring that people of all backgrounds have access to the vision care they need. Their work with charitable organizations and professional societies reflects the values of compassion, integrity, and service that define the practice. 

Partnerships That Make a Difference  

Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation 

Founded by Dr. Paul Dougherty, the Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to providing life-changing vision correction surgeries to those who otherwise would not have access. The foundation has touched lives both in the United States and internationally, especially in areas affected by war or natural disasters. By offering pro bono vision correction, the foundation restores not only sight but also opportunity and dignity. DLV Vision is proud to support this mission, ensuring that sight-saving procedures reach those who need them most. 

Conejo Free Clinic

As part of their local impact, DLV Vision actively supports the Conejo Free Clinic, a trusted healthcare resource for individuals and families in Ventura County who are uninsured or underinsured. This partnership helps expand access to essential medical and vision services for those who might otherwise go without care. By contributing time, resources, and expertise, DLV Vision demonstrates its commitment to equity in healthcare for all members of the community. 

San Fernando Valley Optometric Society (SFVOS)   

DLV Vision is also a proud and continued sponsor of the San Fernando Valley Optometric Society, an organization dedicated to advancing the profession of optometry while supporting local eye doctors in their practice and education. Through this sponsorship, DLV Vision contributes to the development of the optometric community in Los Angeles County, fostering collaboration and innovation in patient care. 

Building Stronger Communities in Ventura and Los Angeles 

Through these partnerships, DLV Vision’s impact extends well beyond its clinics. The practice is proud to: 

• Expand access to vision care for underserved populations through Conejo Free Clinic. 
• Provide life-changing pro bono surgeries worldwide through the Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation. 
• Support and uplift local optometrists by sponsoring the San Fernando Valley Optometric Society. 

Each of these efforts reflects DLV Vision’s belief that healthcare is not only about clinical excellence but also about compassion, connection, and responsibility to the community. 

Why It Matters 

Vision is one of our most precious gifts, and access to quality care can be life-changing. By investing in both local initiatives and global outreach, DLV Vision ensures that more people—whether across the street or across the world—can enjoy the freedom of clear sight. This commitment strengthens the communities of Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles, Westlake Village, and beyond, creating a ripple effect of care that touches countless lives. 

A Vision for the Community

DLV Vision’s work with the Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation, Conejo Free Clinic, and San Fernando Valley Optometric Society reflects a mission that goes beyond medicine. By combining cutting-edge vision correction with meaningful community involvement, DLV Vision continues to set the standard for compassionate care across Ventura County and Los Angeles County. 

Choosing DLV Vision means choosing a practice that not only restores sight but also invests in the well-being of its community—locally and globally.
