Optometry Cares®.

2011 Annual Report

Page 2: During times of need, Optometry Cares

As I come to the end of two terms as president of Optometry Cares®-The AOA Foundation, I want to thank the hundreds of AOA members, industry partners, corporations, foundations and individual donors who have supported the Foundation during my tenure. I found many who care deeply for the Foundation, the AOA and the patients whom we serve annually.

You will find the word “care” mentioned repeatedly in this year’s annual report. The word is personified by the character of the members of the Board of Directors of Optometry Cares®-The AOA Foundation and those caring individuals, corporations and foundations that support our mission.

The word “care” means so much to all of us. Care is apparent in nearly everything we do, and it is not a word we use lightly. It is a word that enables us to translate our feelings into actions. It is the backdrop for the compassion we exhibit daily with our family, friends, co-workers and patients. It also represents the service we provide to those who depend on us for their vision health.

Donations to Optometry Cares® enable the American Optometric Association to initiate and lead community health programs across the United States. Over the past three years, nearly 35,000 underserved patients were seen by more than 3,100 volunteer optometrists through our VISION USA program. During the same time period, nearly 8,000 volunteer optometrists saw approximately 42,000 babies in our InfantSEE® program…and identified vision problems in 10 percent of those babies. And, through our Healthy Eyes Healthy People® program, 18 community grants were awarded to optometrist-initiated research projects from Florida to Washington. None of these accomplishments could have been possible without the philanthropic support from our faithful donors and corporations. The recipients of your generosity are the patients we care for every day.

As we move through 2012, Optometry Cares® will continue to be careful stewards of your philanthropic support. The new president of Optometry Cares®, Cheryl Archer, O.D., will promote the same mission of caring.

Once again, thank you. Please show you care by continuing your support of Optometry Cares®-The AOA Foundation.

InfantSEE®

A unique national public health program, InfantSEE® unites optometrists from all 50 states in a singular effort—providing no-cost comprehensive vision assessments to infants 6 to 12 months of age regardless of household income or insurance availability.In 2011, more than 7,600 AOA-member volunteers furthered the work initiated in 2005 by providing InfantSEE® assessments.

Support for InfantSEE®

Enabling InfantSEE® to carry its message to parents and grandparents of infants as well as new providers, The Vision Care

Institute™, LLC, a Johnson & Johnson company, and the Allergan Foundation provided generous grants.

“As we have developed our roots, their support has allowed us to create awareness and link with organizations with similar

interests in babies in order to identify problems and conditions at the earliest possible level,” said Glen Steele, O.D., chair of

the InfantSEE® committee.

The Vision Care Institute™Since the inception of InfantSEE®, The Vision Care Institute™ has committed more than $3 million to this vital public

health program. Thanks to their lasting partnership, nearly 85,000 babies have been seen, and nearly 9,000 have been

identified with problems.

• Data shows more than 10 percent of babies seen have risk factors

and need follow-up care.

• At least eight cases of retinoblastoma and 20 cases of

congenital cataract were initially diagnosed through

InfantSEE® since 2005.

• The cause for concern continues as volunteer

providers see patients at 4 and 5 years

of age who are in need of care that, if

provided at an earlier age, would have

prevented many days of frustration

for the parent.

“We are committed to preserving

and protecting sight for people

of all ages, and together with

the AOA and thousands of

volunteer optometrists we are

helping parents recognize the

importance of the very first

eye exam and enhancing the

quality of life for their children,”

said Dave Brown, president,

VISTAKON®, Division of

Johnson & Johnson Vision

Care, Inc.

2011 Optometry Cares Annual Report | p. 5

Allergan FoundationThe Allergan Foundation helps create awareness within the schools and colleges of optometry to increase access to

optometric care for all infants in the United States. The grant aims to:

• Inspire graduates to include infant vision as a core patient care service in their future practices through education on how

to perform infant vision exams.

• Increase access to optometric care for all U.S. infants through the continuum of care.

• Expand visibility of the InfantSEE® program that ultimately leads to comprehensive infant eye exams being covered as an

essential defined benefit within federal health care legislation.

“The Allergan Foundation is proud to support the mission of the InfantSEE® program. The optometric profession has a rich

history in service and philanthropy, and this program will empower current optometric students, who are future practitioners

and leaders in the profession, to be an integral part of changing how infant vision care is not only viewed but also provided in this

country. By working together, we can establish a lifetime of vision health and wellness for our children,” said Julian Gangolli,

corporate vice president and president of North America Pharmaceuticals.

InfantSEE® Award WinnerChildren have always held a special place in the heart of Jeffrey J. Kenyon,O.D. So it was natural that early in optometry

school, he decided pediatric optometry would be an integral part of his practice.

Yet the impact of this careful attention to even the smallest patients has grown beyond the efforts of one man. Dr. Kenyon

collaborates with each patient’s pediatrician, advocating for the best patient care possible. This ensures a larger community

of health care providers is aware of the many benefits of the InfantSEE® program.

Due to his outstanding efforts, Dr. Kenyon was presented the 6th Annual Dr. W. David Sullins, Jr. InfantSEE® Award in the

House of Delegates at Optometry’s Meeting® in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2011.

“InfantSEE® is doing much more than identifying and treating risk factors that may cause eye and vision problems later in life,”

said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). “They are taking prevention to a new level to ensure healthier, thriving children and lower

health care costs down the road.”

Healthy Eyes Healthy People® Healthy Eyes Healthy People® (HEHP) grants are a grassroots tool for optometrists to collaborate with other organizations and enhance community health programs. These programs across the United States promote vision services vital to the health care system and continue efforts to improve care for all Americans. The 2011 HEHP grants focused on eye health and vision care for an essential group – the nation’s children. Together, Optometry Cares® and grant winners ensured access to care and fostered awareness with programs that fulfilled two children’s vision objectives developed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services:• Increase the proportion of preschool children 5 years of age and under who receive vision screening. • Reduce blindness and visual impairment in children and adolescents ages 17 years and under.

“Concentrating grant efforts in this key area enabled Optometry Cares® to make strides for improved care especially in needy populations, thanks to the generosity of long-time supporter Luxottica,” said James L. Boccuzzi O.D., chair, Community Grants Committee. “This focus on children came not a moment too soon, as the National Institutes of Health reports one in three preschool children have significant vision challenges.”

“Since its inception, this amazing initiative has developed community outreach programs throughout the country focused on promoting the importance of good eye health and reducing eye diseases in children and adults,” said Andrea Dorigo, president, Luxottica USA.“Considerable progress was made in 2011 with an emphasis on the vision needs of children through the funding of eye exams, purchasing proper medical equipment and education on maintaining healthy vision.”

2011 Grants: These 18 programs showed your profession cares and works to change future statistics on children’s vision.

Community Health Programs- VISION USA More than 46 million low-income individuals in the United States cannot afford the cost of routine eye care or do not have the health insurance that covers such exams.In 2011, VISION USA celebrated 20 years of helping connect low-income, uninsured Americans with caring, compassionate VISION USA providers.VISION USA providers donated exams for patients who, otherwise, would not have seen an optometrist. The thank you

letters sent by grateful recipients tell the VISION USA story best:

“I really appreciate your time and wonderful eye exam

and concern. I thank you so very much for working with

Eye America. Sometimes things get a little out of hand for

seniors. But because of groups like yours, you keep us going

and help us through during the bad times. You made an old

lady very happy.”

- Linda R., Ohio

“I just wanted to thank your program for getting my

husband an eye exam. He received his diagnosis this

morning and found out he has cataracts in both eyes.”

- Diane K., Mo.
