Meet Julius Perez—a true inspiration at Beyond Vision.

Julius’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and the power of community. Born with congenital glaucoma, he built a life as an LPN, a chef, and a business owner. But after a medical crisis left him in a coma, Julius lost his remaining sight in 2013.

When he found Beyond Vision, everything changed. Surrounded by a team that believed in him, Julius was inspired to reclaim his health—losing 150 pounds and rediscovering his purpose.

Today, Julius is a leader known for his dedication, kindness, and willingness to lift others up. He’s not just a valued team member—he’s a champion for giving back, organizing fundraisers and showing what’s possible when opportunity meets determination.

“Usually people see blind people as needy,” Julius says. “But sometimes a person who is blind can be in the position to give back and help.”

Julius reminds us that with the right support, anyone can thrive—and even become a source of strength for others.
