About Me
Hello, my name is Janis Lightman. I am an optometrist. An optometrist diagnoses vision problems and eye disease, prescribes eyeglasses and contact lenses, and prescribes drugs to treat eye disorders.
| Education and Training: | BA Degree, Brandeis University; OD Degree, New England College of Optometry; Residency, West Los Angeles Veterans Administration, S.C.C.O. |
| Board Certification: | California State Board of Optometry |
| Fellow: | American Academy of Optometry |
| Joined Kaiser Permanente: | 1997 |
About My Practice
As a doctor of optometry, providing vision care in an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle is of the utmost importance to me. I view a member’s overall health as a major part of their ocular health. The eye, as well as every part of one’s body, is vulnerable to environmental and nutritional insult. As such, I see Kaiser Permanente’s approach to a healthy lifestyle a key to good eye health and vision.
However, there are times when eye disease occurs despite all of our efforts. I find my work with my specialty patients the most rewarding and meaningful. These include all pediatric eye exams, pediatric and geriatric low vision, corneal transplant patients as well as patients requiring therapeutic, medically-necessary contact lenses for keratoconus and other eye conditions.
Why I Enjoy Working for Kaiser Permanente
I believe that Kaiser Permanente does the best job of providing patients an interdisciplinary approach to comprehensive health care. Through Kaiser Permanente’s leadership, health care providers of various disciplines work together to provide members optimal care in a synergistic way. Through our medical model of leadership, physicians, nurses, optometrists, and a whole host of health care providers work as a team to ensure that you, as a whole person, achieve your highest level of health and balance. Truly, by seeing the whole as greater than the sum of its parts, our members are benefited by this innovative approach.
On Personal Note….
I am a very active and committed member of the Sacramento Jewish community.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
