Jules Stein Eye Institute Affiliates Programs— A Year in Review The Jules Stein Eye Institute Affiliates is a broad-based volunteer network established in 1990 to “support the Institute’s three-tiered curriculum of research, education, and patient care.” The Affiliates sponsors sev- eral different vision education and patient care programs throughout Los Angeles, all of which are supported entirely by volunteer efforts and funded by membership dues. Patient Services PRESCHOOL VISION SCREENING The Affiliates Preschool Vision Screening program marked its twelfth anniversary in 2012. This essential program, founded by Leonard Apt, MD, founding chief of the Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and supported by Mrs. Glorya Kaufman and the Jules and Doris Stein UCLA Support Group, provides free vision screenings to the Los Angeles community. Under the supervision of five volunteer optometrists, Affiliates volunteers visited 25 local preschools during the 2011–2012 school year to screen 830 children, three-and- a-half to five years of age, for simple refractive errors and eye muscle problems. SHARED VISION PROGRAM The Affiliates Shared Vision program continues to collect and recycle donated eyeglasses for those in need. Glasses are given to clinic missions conducted by nonprofit groups in Africa, Central America, and other developing nations. Institute faculty and staff involved in international outreach activities also assist with distributing eyeglasses to new patients. Dr. Louis Rosenberg, volunteer optometrist for the Affiliates’ Preschool Vision Screening Program, greets a young student at a local screening. MAGNIVISION PROGRAM The Affiliates MagniVision program provides financial and volunteer support for the Jules Stein Eye Institute’s Vision Rehabilitation Center (VRC). Volunteers work on site at the VRC and train low-vision patients on the use of magnifiers and various vision aids. Financial assistance from the Affiliates enables the VRC to purchase new assistive and magnification devices for its lending library and supports its general needs. Highlights | Community Outreach 23
Vision Education Vision IN-School (VIS) is a vision education program offered free of charge to fourth-to-sixth-grade students throughout Los Angeles. The curriculum is fun and interactive, covering the anatomy of the eye, eye safety, and optical illusions. VIS volunteers visited seven different schools this past year, presenting the curriculum to close to 200 elementary students. The program emphasizes eye safety and injury prevention in hopes of inspiring children to protect their precious gift of sight. Community Outreach Affiliates volunteers participated in various campus events to raise awareness and funds for visionrelated programs. Two successful sponsorship events were held to attract funding for the Make Surgery Bearable (MSB) program. This initiative provides plush Dr. Teddy bears to each pediatric patient undergoing eye surgery at the Jules Stein Eye Institute. The bears are tagged with the name of the donor or donor’s designee and go a long way to make children feel secure during what could otherwise be a frightening time. Dayna and Jordan Ballenberg recently collected more than 200 pairs of eyeglasses to support the JSEI Affiliates’ Shared Vision eyeglass recycling program as part of their B’nai Mitzvah service project. 24 Highlights | Community Outreach The Affiliates participated in the Foundation Fighting Blindness’s fourth annual 2011 VisionWalk to raise awareness and vital support to advance retinal eye disease research. Affiliates volunteers also participated in the summer 2011 eyeSmart eyeCheck com munity health initiative, providing free vision screenings for low-income patients. The 2011 FFB VisionWalk, held on campus at UCLA’s Dickson Court, raised over $110,000 for retinal eye disease research. The Make Surgery Bearable program brings joy to pediatric patients (shown: Dr. Sherwin Isenberg).
