saving sight | annual report 2014-2015
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
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

Cornea Donation & Transplantation
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.
Saving Sight Annual Report | Page 14
Cornea Donation & Transplantation
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
Saving Sight Annual Report | Page 15
Cornea Donation & Transplantation
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
Saving Sight Annual Report | Page 18
KidSight Vision Screening Program
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
Saving Sight Annual Report | Page 19
KidSight Vision Screening Program
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.

KidSight Vision Screening Program
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
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!’”
Saving Sight Annual Report | Page 25
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.

YOUR GIFT CHANGES LIVES BY SAVING SIGHT
While the largest portion of Saving Sight’s revenue comes as a
result of our eye bank operations, our community charitable vision
programs operate thanks to generous financial donations. Our
KidSight and Eyeglass Recycling programs – with budgets totaling
over $350,000 – are made possible by individuals, organizations and
institutions that support our mission to change lives by saving sight.
