The Mission: Color
BELLEVUE, WA - Joe Hopkins is a real
estate agent and private pilot who has been
using Claroxan for over a year now. He has
spent a good portion of his life interested in
aviation and tries to use that passion for good
things throughout the world.
Joe caught the aviation bug back in the 70's.
He had a friend who had an airplane and Joe
thought it was pretty neat that his friend was
able to own his own plane and be free.
Feeling inspired, Joe actually went up for a
trial ﬂight and requested the instructor put the
aircraft into both a stall and a spin to see if
he could handle it. The instructor did and Joe
stayed cool. That's when he knew he could
handle ﬂying airplanes.
Joe managed to get his private pilot certiﬁcate
in 1990, tacked on an instrument rating in 1993
and received his commercial pilot certiﬁcate in
1995.
These days Joe makes his living in real estate.
His background includes negotiating multiyear design and construction contracts
for commercial and mixed-use projects,
participating in due-diligence teams for the
purchase and sale of commercial & industrial
property, and marketing specialty designbuild work for large high-end residences &
estates. He works diligently and his discipline
is dialed in enough to free up some time to ﬂy
airplanes.

Joe has accumulated 500 hours of total time
and is still logging hours to this day. He is
currently working towards his CFI certiﬁcate
at the Arlington airport in Arlington, WA.
His ultimate goal is to train missionary and
foreign aid pilots who ﬂy relief into impoverished countries.
We were able to catch up with Joe recently and
talk about his success with Claroxan - the
once daily tablet for healthy eyes. Here is what
he had to say:
"I have worn glasses or contact lenses since I
was in the sixth grade but that was never really
a problem. I have kept a current medical since
I received my private certiﬁcate back in 1990.
My problem was that I was never able to pass the
FAA standard color ﬁeld test. I used a passing
result on the Farnsworth Lantern test to keep
eligible for night ﬂying.
I started using Claroxan daily in June of 2013
and on my most recent 2nd class medical test, I
was able to pass the color portion!
I am not sure if it was Claroxan, but it seemed
like a big coincidence. I am 62 years old this
July, working on my CFI and can't wait for my
check ride."
Thanks Paciﬁc Health,
Joe Hopkins

"My vision had improved from 20/35 to
20/20 in a matter of six
months. After I spoke
with my sister, I called
Paciﬁc Health to
thank the kind rep
who had explained the
program when they took
my ﬁrst order."

Fred Marashi
"After taking it for four months I could see
beneﬁts in my eyesight in
terms of less cloudiness.
I thought it was amazing
and could only attribute
it to taking Claroxan.
I plan on continuing
taking it."

Gregory Jones
"Claroxan deﬁnitely works and has made a
marked improvement in my
vision. My right eye
is weaker than my
left eye and before
taking Claroxan my
Snellen Chart reading
was 20/40 unaided. Now,
when I am well rested, I am
reading at 20/25."

Jim Wisniewski
"In my 50's I noticed some changes in
my vision and I was looking for something to help
restore and maintain my
eyesight. I happened to
come across Claroxan
and decided I should
give it a try. Boy was that a
good decision! That was about
10 years ago. I am still taking Claroxan
daily to this day."
