Broadway Vision Updates
InfantSEE
We participate in InfantSEE®, which is a public health program that is managed by Optometry's CharityTM - The American Optometric Association Foundation. InfantSEE is designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child's quality of life. Under this program, AOA optometrists provide a comprehensive eye and vision assessments for infants within the first year of life regardless of a family's income or access to insurance coverage.

VOSH-Northwest (a chapter of VOSH-International)
Since joining Broadway Vision Source in 2008 Dr. Kim has shared her optometric skills with those in our community, as well as to those who are unable to obtain proper eye care in impoverished regions of the world. She is a member of VOSH, whose primary mission is to facilitate the provision of vision care worldwide to people who can neither afford nor obtain such care. In 2009, Dr. Kim was part of the VOSH team that performed eye examinations to over 1,000 patients in La Ceiba, Honduras. In May 2010, she also participated in examining over 2,500 patients over a 5-day period in the Coapinole region of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, providing needed eye care services and glasses. http://voshnorthwest.homestead.com
Vision USA
We also participate in the Vision USA program. More than 40 million low-income, working people in the United States cannot afford the cost of routine eye care or the health insurance that covers it. As income earners, they don't qualify for government aid and private health-care assistance. Now a year-round program, Vision USA can help these people by providing basic eye health and vision care services free of charge to the many uninsured low-income people and their families who have no other means of obtaining care. Vision USA, started nationwide in 1991, is a program developed by doctors of optometry who are members of the American Optometric Association. Approximately 340,000 low income working Americans have benefited from free eye examinations through Vision USA. Visit www.aoa.org/x5607.xml for more information and to find out if you qualify.
Eyecare for the Homeless Program
The Eyecare for the Homeless Program (EHP) provides no-cost eye examinations and glasses to qualified patients falling through the welfare system and/or are homeless. Serving King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, EHP works in conjunction with the YWCA of Seattle in providing patients primarily originating from homeless shelters around the region to participating optometrist’s offices. Dr. Matsunami is actively involved in EHP, seeing patients each Thursday in hopes of improving their lives.

Warren Ruby, L.D.O.
We are happy to announce that Warren Ruby, L.D.O. has joined our optical team. Known as the “Wizard of Eyes” on Capitol Hill, Warren brings over 30 years of experience to Broadway Vision Source. As our Optical Manager, he offers unique expertise in choosing the right eyewear for customers based upon their facial shapes, coloring, and style-expression.
“My desire is to help people look and see their very best! In my experience, it takes another person with an objective eye to complement the individual’s face with eyeglasses. Educating your clients as to the particular styles which suit them best is most challenging and exciting to me!”
Most recently, Warren was General Manager of an optical boutique on Broadway, and previously owned his own business in Edmonds, WA. For a time, he was District Manager of Lunettes Cartier, USA.
“The best compliment on my work comes when another person sees my clients in their new eyewear and states: ‘where did you get those? They fit you perfectly!’”
