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.

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.

Community Health Programs- VISION USA
Healthy Eyes Healthy People®
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.
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.
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

“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.”
and help us through during the bad times. You made an old
lady very happy.”
- Linda R., Ohio
2011 Statistics:
“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.”

Optometry’s Fund for Disaster Relief: Even though natural disasters are unpredictable, Optometry Cares® is ready to assist
optometrists when their homes and/or practices are affected by federally declared disasters. Optometry’s Fund for Disaster Relief
provides immediate financial assistance to eligible applicants whose daily life has been interrupted by a natural disaster.
From the flooding that Hurricane Irene caused in New Hampshire, New Jersey and Vermont, to the tornados that devastated
parts of Alabama and Missouri, to North Dakota’s “500-year” flood, 2011 was a year full of natural disasters. Through the fund,
Optometry Cares® was able to help nine optometrists get back to the business of helping patients.
Show you care: Make a financial gift to the Fund to prepare for all natural disasters that might strike.
The Archives & Museum of Optometry: A resource for the history of the AOA and the profession, the Archives collect and preserve
materials that tell the story of optometry. In 2011, the Optometric Historical Society enjoyed active cooperation with the publication of
new heritage stories for the website. Two illustrated historical timelines were also completed and seven material donations received.
Show you care:
• “Rescue” an historical conference photo in need of restoration.

dean of the Pacific University College of Optometry, president of the New England College of Optometry and dean
of the University of Houston College of Optometry.

in incorporating optometry into IHS earned him the title “Father of Indian Health Service Optometry.” In 2005, the
Lester Caplan Award was established by the IHS in his honor.
Dr. Caplan transitioned from private practice to academic optometry when he joined the faculty of the University
of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry in 1979. Dr. Caplan co-founded the Association of Clinic Directors
of Schools and Colleges of Optometry and has been active in organized optometry at the state and national levels.
Dr. Lowther is a 1967 graduate of The Ohio State University College of Optometry (OSU). He spent a year in private
