Saving Sight | Annual Report 2014-2015

2 0 1 4 - 1 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T

Saving Sight is a nonprofit

organization that changes lives

through the gift of sight and charitable

vision services. We were founded

in 1960 as an eye bank in central

Missouri, and today, our vision

programs serve more than 100,000

people in local communities around

the world. We strive to be the global

partnership model for how eye

banking and charitable vision services

can most effectively serve people

and communities.

Great things can be achieved when dedicated, passionate people approach the work of changing lives in a strategic way. We knew that when we worked with our stakeholders to develop Saving Sight’s first strategic plan in February of 2013. But when we completed that strategic plan this past year, 12 months ahead of schedule, we were amazed at the growth our 55-year-old organization had made in the past year.

In the pages that follow, you’ll read about some of the major accomplishments Saving Sight realized in 2014-2015. You’ll read about how we:

• Formalized a volunteer program, establishing a full-time volunteer coordinator and training 57 volunteers to aid in our work;

• Enhanced follow-up efforts for children referred for an eye exam through our KidSight program;

• Partnered with nonprofit ReSpectacle to expand distribution of glasses through our Eyeglass Recycling Program;

• Grew our international tissue distribution network to bring the gift of sight to more people.

The result of this strategic growth? Together, we changed more lives by saving sight in local communities and around the world over the past year than any other year in our history.

While we have a talented staff that embrace the difference they can make in the communities we serve each day, the work of Saving Sight is collaborative. We are only able to change lives because of our generous donors, partners, volunteers and financial contributors who believe in our mission to save sight.

Join us in celebrating the success of our work together this past year, but then renew your commitment to our mission. There are more lives to change, and with your help, we’re poised to save the sight of more than ever before in 2015-2016.

Sincerely,

Tony BavusoChief Executive Officer

PCC Al BlumenbergPresident, Board of Directors

AN ARTIST’S VISION



ANNE

As a teacher and artist, Anne was diagnosed with Fuchs’ corneal

dystrophy, which, if left untreated, would have blinded her left

eye. Her vision deteriorated to the extent that she required the

transplantation of corneal tissue from a generous eye donor.

Today, Anne’s vision has significantly improved, allowing her to

create artwork for her friends and acquaintances and remain

active in her community as the planning commissioner. Scan the

QR code to watch Anne tell how the gift of sight through eye

donation has changed her life.



Eye donors give the gift of sight through cornea transplants, but

also have the opportunity to change the lives of those affected by

eye conditions by providing tissue for research and education.

Saving Sight distributed 963 corneas and eye tissues to 32 research teams investigating the eye and eye conditions.

443 corneas and eye tissues were distributed to 26 educational

and training facilities to train eye care and vision professionals.

RESEARCH TISSUESAVING SIGHT



Researchers at the University of California, Davis receive research

tissue from Saving Sight to better understand how different

qualities of the cornea might connect to blinding eye diseases.

Specifically, they study the stiffness of the cornea and how it

relates to the onset and progression of diseases like glaucoma

and Fuch’s corneal dystrophy. These studies are designed to help

the medical community understand how to better treat patients

with these diseases to save sight.

UNDERSTANDING DISEASES FOR BETTER TREATMENT OPTIONS


KidSight Vision Screening Program

KIDSIGHT

Using a photoscreening device, we quickly and noninvasively

screen children ages 6 months to 6 years old for common causes

of childhood vision loss and follow up with parents to ensure

children get the eye care they need.

Our trained technicians and volunteers have screened more than

392,353 Missouri Children since 1995. This year, we screened a

record of 59,426 children.

We referred 3,831 at-risk children to eye care professionals

after a screening, with 67% receiving follow-up care.

CHILDREN SCREENED BY FISCAL YEAR



In 2015, Saving Sight completed the second year of a three year grant

awarded by the Missouri Foundation for Health to expand and improve

the post-screening referral component of the KidSight vision screening

program. The grant has supported a full-time impact coordinator who

has developed relationships with eye care professionals and followed

up individually with families of referred children to find eye care

providers, navigate financial aid opportunities when necessary and

ultimately ensure kids get the eye care they need. Support from the

William J. Brace Charitable Trust allowed KidSight to extend follow-up

efforts to 4 counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area in 2014-2015.

In total, follow-up efforts reached 3 out of every 4 children referred

by KidSight. During 2014-2015, 91% of responding parents took

their child to see an eye doctor.

FOLLOW-UP EFFORTS SEE BIG RESULTS



KidSight offers a preventive health service, but we also recognize that

prevention of childhood vision loss begins with education. Beginning

with support from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis,

Healthy Vision Day added an interactive educational component to

KidSight screenings. The program provided materials to the children we

screen – as well as their parents and teachers – about childhood vision

health best practices. Generous support from The Columbia Foundation

and the Community Foundation of the Ozarks allowed us to expand the

program to Boone County and metropolitan Springfield, Missouri.

The Columbia Foundation also granted support to provide these

materials online and introduce the world to our KidSight mascot,

Seymour the Lion, who guides families through eye exams and

healthy practices for childhood vision.

HEALTHY VISION DAY



A CHILD’S SUCCESS



COLTON

Like most children with vision problems, 4-year-old Colton adapted

without any complaints. But thanks to a KidSight vision screening,

Colton’s parents were able to get him the eye care he needed.

Today, with his vision improving, Colton is active with children his

age enjoying school, baseball, and his family. Scan the QR code

to watch his mother, Kristina, recount how the KidSight screening

helped change Colton’s life for the better.


Eyeglass Recycling Program

ON A MISSION


Eyeglass Recycling Program

EYEGLASS RECYCLING

With the help of local Lions and volunteers, Saving Sight

collects and processes used eyeglasses and distributes them

to people in need through its Eyeglass Recycling Program. Scan

the QR code to learn how the program changes lives.

30,200 pairs of recycled glasses were distributed to people in

need through 9 humanitarian groups in 2014-2015.

Saving Sight also coordinated volunteers for a Lions eyeglass

mission clinic which brought recycled glasses to 1,197 people in

Toluca City, Mexico in May, 2015. “Every few minutes you would

observe or hear another person see for the first time, whether

it was a 3 year old or an 88 year old, and I wondered what took

me so long to help,” said Doris, a Lion who volunteered on the

trip. “I’m already packed and ready for the next trip . . .

places to go and people ‘to see!’”

LIONS LEAD


Volunteer Program

Our volunteers dedicated nearly 4,500 hours to bring

additional scope, depth, knowledge, and personal experience

to our sight-saving programs.

Volunteers & KidSight technicians screened 2,076 adults for

glaucoma at Healthy Vision Screenings throughout Missouri.

The second annual Lions L.E.A.D. Weekend brought together

57 volunteers from across Missouri to learn about

Saving Sight’s programs.

Lions and volunteers in Kansas helped carry out Saving Sight’s

largest donor designation booth of the year at the 2014

Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. Overall, 28 volunteers

provided 143 hours of volunteer service to educate

Kansans about organ, eye and tissue donation.
