Liaison Trustee Iselin, N.J. President’s Message 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. “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.” 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, coworkers 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 optometristinitiated 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. Martha Rosemore Morrow, O.D. | President Dennis Holter | Chief Advancement Officer Cathy Bryson | Writer/Editor Mary Ellen Poff | Writer Martha Rosemore Morrow, O.D. | President Sara Breed | Contributor Sandi Gregson | Contributor Gene Abbey | Designer www.aoafoundation.org | p. 2 2011 Optometry Cares Annual Report | p. 3 InfantSEE Allergan Foundation ® 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. 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 Winner 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 Children 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.

In 2011, VISION USA celebrated 20 years of helping connect low-income, uninsured Americans with caring, compassionate VISION USA providers. Healthy Eyes Healthy People® (HEHP) grants are a grassroots tool for optometrists to collaborate with other organizations and enhance community health programs.

The 2011 HEHP grants focused on eye health and vision care for an essential group – the nation’s children. VISION USA providers donated exams for patients who, otherwise, would not have seen an optometrist.
