Susie was the daughterof IEF’s founder, Dr. John HarryKing, Jr., and a stalwart in IEF’sfamily. She traveled the world withher father and mother, the lateHelen Tewksbury King, both duringhis career in the US Army and afterwardswith her husband William D.Clark, both strong advocates forIEF’s mission. Since IEF’s founding in1961, Susie had been fully active inour fundraising events, and was astrong and encouraging friend to thesuccessive CEOs, Board membersand staff. Through their extensivenetwork of friends and colleagues,Susie was extremely effective inmaking nominations of the very bestpeople to serve on IEF’s Board. Bill& Susie were recognized for theirsignificant support as recipients ofIEF’s “Promotion of Peace & Vision”award in 2005. We are grateful toher family for asking that donationsbe made to IEF in Susie’s memory.


Message from theChairman andPresident & CEOOur <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> shows in vivid pictures, descriptive charts, powerful wordsand compelling facts the accomplishments of the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Eye</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>.But the most powerful images and words cannot fully convey the impact of ourservices on people in developing countries. A contingent of IEF Directorsgained new insight to the importance of our mission a few months ago whenvisiting our partner clinic, Visualiza, in Guatemala City, and a satellite clinic inrural Peten.As our delegation toured the Visualiza clinic we met with doctors, medicaltechnicians, business managers and staff. Many of these talented professionalshave been associated with IEF for years; they are truly part of the IEF family.We were struck by their sense of purpose and dedication. It was clear: forthese professionals, delivering quality eye care is a personal commitment, not ajob. In fact, the doctors of Visualiza are so passionate about their calling theycreated the clinic in Peten, a farming area 500 kilometers (310 miles) or 6 hoursby road from Guatemala city. Each doctor volunteers to move to this rurallocation, on a rotating basis, for a week a month, taking eye care to people whootherwise could not spend the time or expense to travel to Guatemala city.During our visit, the waiting rooms of both clinics were filled with patients whowere confident they would receive the best care, even if they could not affordto pay the full price.Medical skill and determined commitment are essential, but in developing countrieswith vast needs, there is a premium on efficiency, productivity and managementexpertise. IEF is unique in its focus on this component of eye care. Ourapproach, SightReach® Management, introduces business planning and managementpractices to clinic and hospital administration. At Visualiza and 13 otherpartners in Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, we have seen thepositive results over the past 10 years: more patients treated, more cataractsremoved, resources used more efficiently, and greater income has been realized.Our goal is to replicate the success of Visualiza and its sister institutions. Weaim to add 10 clinics and hospitals to our global network by 2012. We needyour support to reach this objective.Susan T. FritschlerChairmanVictoria M. SheffieldPresident & CEOWe continue our work to reduce and ultimately eradicate the causes of low vision, even as the nature of thediseases and causes changes. Traditionally, “river blindness” afflicted millions of people in developing countries.Thanks to the IEF community-based” Mectizan Distribution Programs in Africa and Latin America initiated some17 years ago, blindness from this disease is disappearing.But new challenges have emerged. Cataract remains the cause of half the world’s blindness. Glaucoma, retinaldiseases, and refractive error are threatening the vision of greater numbers of people. By combining qualitymedical care and SightReach® Management principles, we are confident the incidence of these conditions will bereduced significantly. We ask for your assistance and support to make it happen.Charity Navigator awarded IEF a 4-star rating for the second year in a row noting only 17% of organizationsqualify in this way. We appreciate the confidence you have shown in our ability to advance our mission ofpreventing blindness and low vision. We value your support and ask you to continue partnering with us to givethe gift of sight to people in the developing world.

SightReach® PreventionChildhood Blindness3Most eye clinics in developing countries lackpediatric ophthalmologists who can treat eyeproblems unique to infants and children. IEFbuilds capacity and infrastructure to ensure longterm quality services for children who are at riskof blindness.SavingSightfor aLifetimeWith support from the USAID funded “ChildBlindness and Health Grants Fund”, IEF is screeningchildren in 60 schools, and outreach programsreach people in 60 communities so that peoplewith poor vision get examined and are providedwith spectacles.Roberto Carlos can see thanks to Dr. Mariano Yee andDr. Edwin Arias, the new pediatric ophthalmologist atVisualiza in Guatemala. Born with congenital cataracts,Roberto was only 28 days old when he was first examined.At age 3 months, he became Visualiza’s youngestpatient ever to undergo eye surgery when his cataractswere removed. Roberto’s father, a farmer and hismother, “queen of the house”, brother and 8 sisters livetogether in a small house, 5 meters by 5 meters (15’ x15’) with 2 rooms and a kitchen, walls of wood pieces, atin roof and dirt floor. Roberto’s parents walked 30minutes from their home to catch a bus traveling twohours to reach Visualiza’s satellite hospital in Flores inthe northern Peten region. His mother said that if thehospital was not there, they could not do anything forRoberto Carlos because they cannot afford to go all theway to Guatemala City. Now, Roberto can see his world,something that may not have been possible for himwithout this sight-saving surgery.Onchocerciasis—prevention of “river blindness”Thanks to the miracle drug Mectizan® (ivermectin) provided free of charge by itsmanufacturer Merck & Company, the tiny worms that invade the eyes no longerthreaten the sight of millions of people in Africa and Latin America. <strong>The</strong> worms thatcause onchocerciasis are passed by flies that breed in fast flowing rivers. One dose ofthe drug each year kills all the microscopic worms in the body so they never grow toadulthood and while flies still bite, there are no microscopic worms to pass from oneperson to another. People living near the rivers where the flies breed have moved backto their fertile lands where food is grown more easily. IEF has been distributingMectizan® for over 17 years and established the first “community-based” MectizanDistribution Programs in Africa and Latin America in 1990. In <strong>2007</strong>, together with theNational Onchocerciasis Program in Cameroon, IEF treated everyone at risk ofinfection in both Adamaoua and South Provinces. Funding from the African Programmefor Onchocerciasis Control, the Lions SightFirst Program and our many thousands ofindividuals ensures that the threat of blindness is eliminated for millions of peoplebecause they will continue to get this miracle drug each year.


4SightReach® ManagementFor nearly 10 years, IEF has focused on sustainability of eye care institutions, investing funds andtechnical assistance to create patient centered services focusing on quality care, efficiency, productivityand financial self-sufficiency. <strong>The</strong> network is growing with 14 eye clinics and hospitals in 9 countriesaround the world. <strong>The</strong> environments are different and present unique challenges, but the growingnumber of successful partners are paving the way as models of what a sustainable eye clinic can be.Support from the de Beaumont <strong>Foundation</strong>, the LavelleFund for the Blind, the Earl & Shirley Herbst <strong>Eye</strong> ResearchFund at the Connecticut Community <strong>Foundation</strong>, andothers are enabling IEF to reach more and more of themany eye clinics requesting our assistance. This year, theInstituto de la Vision in Mexico and its satellite clinics havejoined the SightReach® Management network.Sight-restoring surgery at the Institutode la Vision, Mexico“Without the invaluable help of IEF, wewouldn’t be where we are at this moment.”Juan Francisco Yee, AdministratorVisualiza, Guatemala“I was extremely impressed with the facilitiesand patient care provided at the VisualizaClinic and Pescatore Clinic. <strong>The</strong> Yee brothershave established a unique clinical model toprovide medical care in developing countries....they have developed clinical facilities allowingfor the care of both private ophthalmologypatients as well as subsidized social eye care forthe larger poor population which could notafford care without this assistance.”Monte del Monte, MDWorld <strong>Eye</strong> Mission volunteer to GuatemalaDr. Patrick Kwaw-Quaidoo, Chief OphthalmologistRidge Hospital, Accra, GhanaPromoting Sustainability• IEF Chairs “Sustainability Discussion Group”<strong>International</strong> Agency for the Prevention ofBlindness (IAPB)Chapter 2“Sustainable eye programs” waswritten by IEF in Dr. LarrySchwab’s very popular <strong>Eye</strong> Carein Developing Nations 4thedition, Manson Publishing,London <strong>2007</strong>.• “Optical Services as a Critical Component of<strong>Eye</strong> Care and Sustainability” presented at <strong>The</strong>Inaugural World Congress on Refractive Error,Durban, South Africa <strong>2007</strong>• “Critical components for financial sustainability”,a course presented by IEF at the 8thGeneral Assembly, IAPB, Buenos Aires, 2008
