3. President’s message: As eye care professionals, we know communities thrive
when people are healthy. This is why it’s important to reach out to the areas we know lack
access to eye care. Optometry is known as a caring profession, and some of the most
selfless and compassionate people I have the privilege to know are the volunteers and
donors who help make Optometry Cares® our profession’s charity of choice.
Optometry Cares means a lot of things to different people. To some, they know it as
the helping hand for countless Americans who can’t afford eye care. To others, it helps
provide a remembrance to a beloved optometric colleague. For parents, it helps educate
on the importance of children’s eye care. At Optometry’s Meeting® it’s the face of fun and
supports valuable programs through its 5K Run/Walk and Blast from the Past events.
I’m proud to say that 2014 was one of our best years to date, with more donors contributing
than ever before. We made new friends who donated for the first time and helped bolster
our mission to expand eye care access to all Americans. We’re also very thankful to those
who annually pledge their support—we wouldn’t have our tremendous success without you.
In addition, we greatly appreciate the Optometry Cares Board of Directors and staff for
their leadership in helping our programs run so efficiently, and we also thank the AOA
Board of Trustees for their continuing support.
At Optometry Cares, we feel generosity is a chain reaction. One good deed inspires
several more. Together, we can make a difference for countless Americans who are in the
greatest need of eye health care.
Thank you,
T. Joel Byars, O.D.

Undiagnosed and untreated vision problems among children in the U.S. are urgent public
health challenges. Poor vision can impact a child’s learning potential and cognitive
development, which could limit his or her full potential in school, work and life.
InfantSEE®
Vision development and eye health problems are easier to correct if
treatment begins early. That’s why the InfantSEE® program continues to work year-round
to help ensure pediatric patients are on track for a lifetime of healthy vision. Participating
optometrists provide a no-cost, comprehensive eye and vision assessment for infants.
To encourage future optometrists to join the InfantSEE program and to raise awareness
of children’s vision and wellness, InfantSEE representatives seize every opportunity to
visit several schools and colleges of optometry. In 2014, thanks to generous support from
The Allergan Foundation, InfantSEE providers visited Pennsylvania College of Optometry
at Salus University, Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry, University of the
Incarnate Word Rosenberg School of Optometry, and New England College of Optometry.
InfantSEE also receives generous support from Johnson Johnson Vision Care, Inc.,
OptiCare and The Centene Charitable Foundation, and CareCredit.

InfantSEE has had such a positive impact on my patients,
community, and practice. What an excellent opportunity to
educate the public about the importance of eye care not only
for infants but for the whole family. By stressing eye care
starting in infancy, we are able to foster a lifetime of eye care
for all involved. The assumption is that ‘if an infant needs an
eye exam, I do too.’ Education is the key to healthy eyes, and
InfantSEE is the perfect tool to accomplish this.

Camp Courage: A Helen Keller Experience
For the second consecutive year, Optometry Cares® partnered with the Helen Keller
Birthplace Foundation to create an inspiring journey for children who are visually and
hearing impaired, called Camp Courage: A Helen Keller Experience. Encouraging campers
to “be like Helen,” Camp Courage offers children a chance to learn about arts and nature
using hands-on learning experiences similar to those encountered by Keller at that age.
In Tuscumbia, Alabama, 12 visually and hearing impaired campers converged Sept. 11-14, 2014 to
take part in the second annual Camp Courage: A Helen Keller Experience. This program is largely
supported by The Hamada Family Trust and The Rosemore Family Foundation.

comprehensive eye care to low-income individuals, see the joy in the faces of patients
whose lives are improved thanks to their services.

“…VISION USA has helped so many of our patients over the years. Most of our
clients are low income with no health insurance and have not had an eye exam
in years. This program has helped them be able to get the exam and then buy
glasses at a cost that they can afford. I have received more thank-you’s than I
could count...”

“…I work with the mentally ill patients in my community; people whose lives are
negatively affected due to lack of resources, poverty, and lack of overall health
care. I have been able to provide many of my clients’ assistance with getting free
eye exams and free corrective lenses. I want to personally thank you for the work
that you do with the poor in the community. This program really makes a positive

Healthy Eyes Healthy People®
With a mission to change community health programs so that vision services are provided
and optometrists are recognized as vital to the health care system, Healthy Eyes Healthy
People® (HEHP) worked throughout 2014 to provide eye health education across the country.
2014 grants
To reach American communities in need, HEHP, with generous support from Luxottica,
provided 16 HEHP State Association Grants. HEHP grants provide financial assistance to
community outreach projects that promote the importance of quality eye and visual health
for the American public.
2014 focused specifically on children’s vision, with a mission to increase the proportion of
children ages 18 years and under who have received an eye exam by an optometrist over
the next 12 months.

Optometry’s Meeting®
2014
During the 2014 Optometry’s Meeting® in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, people gathered at
the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to begin the Optometry Cares 5K Run/Walk.
More than $25,000 was raised for Optometry Cares programs and more than 400 people
registered for the race. Generous sponsors of the 5K Run/Walk were The Vision Council
Optical Lab Division and Transitions.
Optometry Cares also organizes its Blast from the Past and the Recognition Reception
events during Optometry’s Meeting. The Optometric Historical Society hosted Dr. Irving
Bennett’s presentation on optometry’s inclusion in Medicare at Blast from the Past, and
the Optometry Cares Board of Directors, AOA Trustees, industry partners and individual
donors came together at the Optometry Cares Recognition Reception.

Optometry’s Fund for Disaster Relief
Natural disasters can strike at any time and can leave an optometry practice in ruins.
Optometrists not only have to cope with structural and equipment damage and loss of
revenue, but sometimes patients also move to other areas if the community is affected.
Optometry’s Fund for Disaster Relief helps optometrists do what they do best—improve
the quality of life of their patients.
In 2014, Optometry’s Fund for Disaster Relief helped several optometrists whose
practices were damaged by disasters, including Mark Wells, O.D., whose practice was
destroyed by a fire on May 24, 2014. The building and all its contents were lost.
“The money that Optometry Cares awarded us were used for salaries, rent and
relocation expenses. Without those funds, this would have been more of a burden on us
financially,” said Dr. Wells.
The practice will break ground on a new building in the same location in downtown
Laramie, Wyoming, in May 2015.
Archives and Museum of Optometry
Optometry has a rich history that must be preserved so professionals can grow and learn
from champions before them.
The Optometric Historical Society (OHS) continues to work year-round to interpret
optometric history in its quarterly publication Hindsight: Journal of Optometry History and
helps The Archives Museum of Optometry (AMO) fulfills its mission by encouraging the
collection and preservation of historical materials in its repository.
In 2014, the AMO began hosting a University of Missouri-St. Louis graduate student to
do inventory and catalog the museum collection. The catalog will be available online at
the completion of the project, providing virtual access to the AMO collections. The AMO
also collaborated with the OHS for the first interview in a new oral history program. The
interview was with Lester Caplan, O.D., the first optometric consultant to the U.S. Public
Health Service, Indian Health Services, which will be available online for researchers in 2015.
The new OHS Advisory Committee will provide guidance and support to the membership
in fulfilling program goals.

The Power of...Hall of Fame
Three doctors of optometry were inducted into the prestigious National Optometry Hall of
Fame in 2014: Arol R. Augsburger, O.D., Ron Fair, O.D., and Karla Zadnik, O.D., Ph.D.
Since 1998, the National Optometry Hall of Fame has recognized and honored optometrists
who have made significant and long-lasting contributions to the optometric profession.
Endowment and Scholarships
Empowering future doctors to make a difference in their profession and community,
Optometry Cares offers scholarships and grants to optometry students.
For the 2014 InfantSEE® Scholarship Grant, sponsored by Vision West, Inc., Steven Kleen
from Southern California College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University was
honored with first place ($5,000). Matthew Polster from Pacific University College of
Optometry was runner-up and was awarded second place ($2,500).
Benjamin Foreman from Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University was
awarded the 2014 Dr. Seymour Galina Grant ($2,500), which is awarded annually in
memory of the long-time AOA member.
In addition, in honor of Bernard Maitenaz, inventor of the Varilux® lens, Essilor created an
annual scholarship in 2014 awarding $10,000 a year for the next 10 years to a third-year
optometry student.

Future Focus
Each Optometry Cares® program serves a unique
population and enables us to meet the needs of the
disadvantaged, underserved, uninsured and the most
vulnerable among us. Last year, over 60 million people
were in serious risk of vision loss due to eye disease
and only half of them visited an eye doctor in the
last 12-month period. We cannot sit back and watch
disadvantaged populations limit their potential and
quality of life. With your assistance, we can help those
in need to see a brighter future!
The Mission of Optometry Cares
Expand eye care awareness, education and research,
as well as access to eye health and vision care, to
everyone in the United States in order to enhance
human performance and quality of life.Meeting the needs of the
disadvantaged, underserved,
uninsured and the most
vulnerable among us.OC
