Life dedicated to vision, compassion, and excellence.
Dear Patients, Fellow Team Members, and Our Beloved Community,
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Dr. John Bokosky passed away suddenly on October 22, 2025.
Dr. Bokosky was not only a highly skilled and compassionate physician, but also a guiding leader within the Eye Care of San Diego practice and a stalwart in the San Diego community. His warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his patients and colleagues have left an indelible mark on this practice and all who had the privilege to know him.
Though his absence will be deeply felt, the values he instilled and the example he set will continue to shape this practice for years to come.
Dr. Bokosky was one of the area’s leading cornea specialists, and it was his mission to provide the highest level of ophthalmic care to his patients throughout the San Diego region—a mission that has shaped our practice from its very beginning.
As we honor his legacy, it remains our highest priority to continue that mission and uphold the standards of excellence and compassion that he embodied every day.
Our team is committed to ensuring continuity of care for all of Dr. Bokosky’s patients.
We ask for your patience as we coordinate coverage over the coming days and weeks. We recognize this news may raise many questions, but please know our immediate priority is to address the needs of our most urgent patients while we ensure long-term continuity for everyone under his care. Members of our staff will be reaching out to patients with upcoming appointments beginning today to assist with scheduling and care coordination as soon as possible, and those efforts will persist until all of his patients are transitioned.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Bokosky’s family, friends, colleagues, and the many patients whose lives he touched.
His legacy of compassion and excellence will continue to guide our work and the care we provide.
Sincerely,
The Eye Care of San Diego Team
“May his light continue to guide our hands and hearts.”
