Second Vision Clinic Opens

Dr RichardS Kersti11e exami11es a patient

On May th The CEI Foundation opened its second Vision Clinic at the St Vincent de Paul Center on Bank Street in the West End This Vision Clinic complements The Foundations first Vision Clinic which opened in 2008 in the basement of the Roselawn Lutheran Church on Summit Street in the Roselawn community ofCincinnati The CEI Foundations Vision Clinic at Roselawn has seen over 5600 patients through 2014

The opening of this second vision clinic grew out of the Foundations monthly screenings held at the Bank Street Center We were seeing 40 to 65 clients at each monthly screening (~-at St Vincent de Paul There was a demand that wasnt being met by our Clinic in Roselawn said Amy Jones Manager of Community Outreach

Dr Richard Kerstine a founder of the Cincinnati Eye Institute (CEI) and one of three volunteer ophthalmologists said I am very glad that we have been able to bring our clinic into the city Our surveys with referring agencies and our basic screenings at St Vincent de Paul and at Christ Church Cathedral downtown have made the need for a city location ve1y evident to us

The clinic provides comprehensive dilated eye exams to low income adults with no eye insurance Physicians are looking for eye disease that could lead to blindness Ifpatients need glasses they receive a prescription and a voucher for free glasses through our paitner OneSight Foundation at a local Lens Crafters

Dr James Faulkner also a founder of CEI and retired ophthalmologist volunteering at the Vision Clinics said This is an important service for The Foundation to provide in our community As the only free adult eye clinic in the tri state individuals that come to us have no other options for eye care

Retired ophthalmologist Dr Brounley added As the newest volunteer physician I am impressed that The Foundation has been able to establish and fully equip two quality clinics to serve the poor The need is certainly here

The CEI Foundation Vision Clinic at St Vincent de Paul is open on the first Thursday of each month Plans are being made to expand Vision Clinic days of operation


First Endowment Created George Sehi PhD a member ofThe CEI Foundations board of directors has created The CEI Foundations first endowment I wanted to support the excellent work ofThe Foundation and honor Dr William Faulkner to whom I really own my sight said Sehi Sehis legacy will benefit patients requiring financial assistance with Corneal Transplants

As someone who has suffered from corneal related problems all my life I understand the stress and the financial concerns that accompany these problems Sehi said He went on to say I cant thank CEI enough for providing me with the best care by the best physicians using the state of the art technology These physicians and their caring staff live their mission of saving and preserving sight every day

Sehi chose to honor Dr William Faulkner for his 28 years of exceptional care Dr Faulkner gave me a full corneal transplant in 1987 for which

Dr Faulk11er discusses the cott1plexitites of Comeal TransplAl1t with Dr Sehi

George Sehi

I am very grateful But I have been even more impressed with his big heart He is not only a brilliant surgeon he is a great human being who deeply cares about his patients

George Sehi s endowment will ultimately supplement the cost of corneal transplants for those who require financial assistance

Growing your LegacyshyHelping yourself today Helping others tomorrow The Foundations board of directors has announced the establishment of a Planned Giving Program to preserve The Foundations mission into the future The Committee is chaired by John Dovich with Dr Michael Petersen KMK attorney Mark Sims George Sehi and Patrick Ward

I have felt for a long time that planned giving is necessary for The CEI Foundation to make an impact on eye health initiatives said Dr Petersen When I asked the board to make this a priority I was specifically thinking of growing The Foundations support of reshysearch as well as its support of education and community outreach

Planned Giving has to be a part of any charitys future said John Dovich Planned Giving Challman The CEI Foundation will emphasize Wills Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Trusts Planned Giving can be beneficial to both the donor and The CEI Foundation Some planned giving techniques can provide a life time income to the donor and an immediate tax deduction Of course The Foundation will receive a gift that will help it canyon its mission Mr Dovich said
