Message from thePresident andExecutive DirectorNew World Health Organization data released in December 2004 show thereare 37 million blind in the world including 1.4 million under the age of 15 years,and 124 million with low vision. The good news is the number of blinddecreased from 45 million and low vision decreased from 135 million. The badnews is these figures do not include millions of people with refractive errorneeding glasses, and that 90% live in developing countries. Cataract is stillresponsible for half the world’s blindness (47.8%).Frank S. Ashburn, Jr, MDPresidentA paradigm shift in the way eye care is delivered is critical to meet demands. Inmuch of the developing world, patients will not seek nor accept poor andinefficient service, even if it’s free. The root causes of current inefficiencies,poor quality, and under-utilization of services lie in poor management and lackof financial sustainability of existing services. The few shining examples such asthe Aravind Eye Hospital in India must be adapted and expanded around theworld.The International Eye Foundation (IEF) has developed an effective model calledSightReach® Management combining the best of modern clinical eye carepractices with business planning and management systems to create a hybridsocial-entrepreneurial approach to eye care delivery. IEF assists partner eyehospitals in developing countries, both public and private, to undertakeorganizational and infrastructure changes to attract patients who can pay aswell as subsidizing the poor who cannot. A comprehensive redesign to achieveimproved quality, efficient service, customer satisfaction, and financialsustainability are similar whether IEF is transitioning public sector hospitals tointroduce innovative income generation while still treating the poor, or privatehospitals to subsidize poor patients while remaining financially viable.Victoria M. SheffieldExecutive DirectorFrom 2000 to 2004, seven eye hospitals and clinics in six countries insub-Saharan Africa, Central America, the Middle East, and Asia havedemonstrated IEF’s sustainability approach. Their impressive results aredescribed in this report. IEF also supports the Lions Aravind Institute forCommunity Ophthalmology (LAICO) at the Aravind Eye Hospital in Madurai,India where teams from IEF’s partner hospitals go for management training.We are proud to have supported LAICO’s establishment of a website callede-resource allowing doctors and hospitals worldwide to access managementand financial tools as well as clinical data and best practices.We are excited that our results are getting noticed and new donors aresupporting our work. Improving quality, efficiency, productivity and financingmeans that limited budgets are stretched allowing more people to be treated.SightReach® Management is extremely exciting and satisfying. We are gratefulto our many donors for your critical investments in our work. Your dollars arespent wisely and our documented results meet accountability requirements ofdonors, partners and patients. Thank you for your trust and yourencouragement as we continue to prevent blindness and save sight around theworld.1

O URM ISSION...The International Eye Foundation (IEF) is dedicated to helping people see!For over four decades, IEF has focused its programming in the developing world where 90% of the world’sblindness exists. On December 16, 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) released new data onvisual impairment updating figures from the early 1990’s.WHO Data – December 2004CATEGORY 2004 EARLY 1990’SBlind 37 million 45 millionLow Vision 124 million 135 millionTotal 161 million 180 millionWHO states that “globally, based on the 2002 world population, more than 161 million people werevisually impaired, of whom 124 million had low vision and 37 million were blind, including 1.4 millionunder the age of 15 years. These figures do not include people having uncorrected refractive errors suchas short or long sight or astigmatism.”Cataract is still responsible for half the world’s blindness at 47.8%, and 90% of the world’s blindness is stillfound in developing countries. WHO notes that “the new figures illustrate the successful impact of effortsto eliminate the infectious causes of blindness”, and attributes the reduction intrachoma, onchocerciasis, vitamin A deficiency and even cataract to “an upsurge in the intensity andefficiency of prevention of blindness activities in most parts of the world where blindness and visualimpairment are public health problems. This has been achieved despite the competing demands on thelimited resources of the governmental health sector from other publichealth priorities.”IEF is proud to have played a part in the reduction of the leading publichealth causes of blindness and has, in the last decade, increased itsemphasis on childhood blindness and emerging threats such as glaucoma,diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration highlighted by WHO.These new threats however, must be addressed by highly trained ophthalmologistsin tertiary centers that have sophisticated equipment. IEF’s innovativeSightReach® Management Program improves capacity of tertiary eyehospitals. SightReach Surgical®, IEF’s social enterprise, makes new,sophisticated ophthalmic equipment and instruments available at reducedprices for hospitals in the developing world. This report notes that ourchallenges are still many and changing, but that IEF is evolving to meetthose challenges and showing impressive results.IEF first came to Malawi in 1975 tohelp build our eye care services. Backthen, we only had one Malawianophthalmologist, Dr. Chirambo. In1980 and over the next 15 years,they sent seven ophthalmologistsand their families to Malawi for 2-3years each to treat people, do surgery,and train our own doctors. Weare eliminating “river blindness” andreducing vitamin A deficiencythanks to IEF. Over the last fouryears, IEF has transformed our twomajor eye hospitals so they are onthe road to financial sustainabilitywith improved capacity, quality andmanagement.2Tony Kandiero, Ambassador ofMalawi to the USA and IEF Boardmember.

SightReach ® MANAGEMENTLEADING CHANGE AND MAKING CHOICES…IEF has developed an effective model combining the best of modern clinical eyecare practices with business planning and management systems to create ahybrid social-entrepreneurial approach to eye care delivery. IEF assistspartner eye hospitals in developing countries, both public and private, toundertake organizational and infrastructure changes through a sub-grant andtechnical assistance from headquarters. The goal is to have both public(government) and private eye hospitals treating both paying patients andsubsidizing poor patients, providing quality care for all, and achieving financialsustainability.With a matching grant from the United States Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID) over the last five years, IEF has invested in sevenpartner eye hospitals in six countries (Malawi, Tanzania, Egypt, India, Guatemala,El Salvador) with impressive results. Key indicators reflect:Dr. Mariano Yee of Visualiza in Guatemalarestores sight to cataract patient.Photo: courtesy Dr. Mariano Yee Melgar• Quality of Care is defined as appropriate care that treats eyedisease resulting in restoration of eye health and/or sight. An example isensuring that all cataract patients receive an intra-ocular lens (IOL) torestore clarity of vision after cataract surgery. Implications toachieving this include an adequately trained surgeon, equipment andinstruments to perform this procedure, standardization of protocols, andfinancial resources to cover the cost of the intra-ocular lenses and surgery.• Quality of Service is critical to customer satisfaction ensuring that patientsare seen in a timely fashion, treated with respect, and will recommend theservice to their friends and family. Patient counselors advise patients,alleviate anxiety, and address needs contributing to overall patientsatisfaction.• Efficiency refers to all areas of the eye care service, but especially to patientflow-through in the outpatient department, turn-around time betweensurgical patients in the operating room, and adequate personnel toperform required duties.Old gentleman found during an outreachcampaign had his sight restored after cataractsurgery in Malawi.Photo: John M. Barrows/IEF• Outreach is critical to increasing patient volume and marketing services incommunities both for private or public hospitals alike. Patient counselorshave proven to be of great value in ensuring acceptance of services. Wellplanned screening campaigns enable the highest visibility and immediatereturn of patients to the base hospital with their friends and neighbors forfurther treatment and/or surgery. By alleviating fears of travel, surgery, andcost issues, women are more easily able to access care than if they had toseek it on their own.• Management is critical to success. Many hospitals in developing countries,especially in the public sector, do not have manager or accountant positions.IEF’s initial investment supports the creation of these positions until earnedincome can sustain their costs. To achieve efficiency as well as quality of careand service, standards and policies must be instituted and monitored toensure accountability. Accounting tools are critical to proper use of funds andadequate tracking of revenue and expenditures. In general, it is no longeradequate to expect the senior doctor to be responsible for all administrationand management of an eye hospital. While s/he may remain as head of theinstitution, their focus must be on clinical care and quality controls.Dr. Emad Badawy (right) trains OphthalmicTechnicians at the Magrabi Eye Hospitalin Egypt to use sensitive diagnosticequipment relieving ophthalmologiststo do treatment and surgery.Photo: Victoria M.

SightReach ® PREVENTIONSupport for Aravind’s new Vision Centers…Innovations at the Aravind Eye Hospital and its associated Lions Aravind Institute for CommunityOphthalmology (LAICO) have been a hallmark in Aravind’s leadership in eye care service delivery. Because “onlyabout 7% of the rural population needing eye care show up for service at eye camps”, an innovative model hasbeen developed. With a grant from IEF, Aravind established two pilot Vision Centers in Theni District atAndipatti and Ambasamudram, each serving approximately 25,000 people. Aravind’s “2004 Activities Report”states that “these centres are small, low-overhead facilities that are able to provide primary care, refractiontesting, and spectacles. They also screen patients for referral to the eye hospital, thus maximizing theeffectiveness of the hospital in delivering secondary and tertiary care.” Each Vision Center is staffed by a trainedOphthalmic Assistant who, with volunteers, screens and identifies the people in all villages served by thatcenter. S/he has a high-bandwidth wireless data network linked to the Theni Hospital allowing a virtualconsultation with an ophthalmologist at the base hospital for treatment or referral advice utilizing dramaticapplications in telemedicine. IEF support will allow Aravind to open two new Vision Centers in 2005.SightReach ® Management support for Aravind’s e-resource website…Access to information is a critical need in developing countries. A grant from IEF enabled Aravind and LAICO tolaunch “Vision 2020 e-resource”, a website to share “practical and tested resources for planning, implementingand monitoring different aspects of eye care services including disease control, human resource developmentand infrastructure development” worldwide at the touch of a keystroke: http://www.laico.org/v2020resource/The reasons given as to why they succeeded in transforming theirprivate eye clinic to a social enterprise using the IEF approach:Speaking of the new OpticalService in Blantyre, Malawi“I can confirm that from thereceptionists to the opticians,the service at the Eye Center isrefreshingly polite andprofessional to all customers!Well done.His Excellency Tony Kandiero,Ambassador from Malawi to theUSA, and IEF Board Member.1. We learned and understood how to differentiate the services.2. We let the poor and private patients choose the services they want.3. The price structure is so simple and attractive in both sections and thegap between the social and private practice is not so big so somepatients may choose the private service if they want to.4. The standardization of all the procedures is essential to work efficiently.5. The use of appropriate technology such as the Small Incision CataractSurgery technique is effective, fast, low cost, and with great results.6. The introduction of the patient counselors in our practice (to advise thepoor).7. IEF’s invaluable help, good communication in our practice.8. Team work.9. The quality of our service.Dr. Mariano and Nicolas Yee Melgar, ophthalmologists at Visualiza inGuatemala City6

SightReach ® PREVENTIONDEMONSTRATES SUCCESS AGAINST DISEASE…Addressing the leading causes of blindness – cataract, trachoma, onchocerciasis,and childhood blindness – that can be treated and/or prevented.CATARACTWHO’s new data notes that cataract remains the leading cause of global blindnessresponsible for half (47.8%) of all blindness, an impersonal figure. That’sapproximately 18,500,000 people, much more striking and personal, especiallywhen we know that 90% of those 18.5 million are in the developing world. IEF’sSightReach® Management program described in this report is transforming eyehospitals to provide better quality surgery, ensuring that every patient receives anintra-ocular lens, and increasing productivity so that more and more people haveaccess to a cataract operation. IEF’s seven partner hospitals in Malawi, Tanzania,Egypt, India, Guatemala, and El Salvador reported a total of 11,155 cataractoperations in 2004.Photo: courtesy, Dr. Marian Yee Melgar,Visualiza, GuatemalaTRACHOMAPfizer’s generous donation of azythromycin for mass trachoma treatmentcampaigns has made a significant impact on the rates of trachoma worldwide.WHO’s new report states “it is noteworthy that trachoma has decreased insignificance as a cause of blindness as compared to earlier estimates”. Trachoma isresponsible for 3.6% of global blindness, or 1,332,000 people. The significancehowever relates to the reduction in new cases, especially among children, who willnever reach the stage of scarred eyelids and blinded corneas. IEF partner hospitalscontinue to treat patients with trachoma and conduct important public educationprograms.Photo: IEF archivesONCHOCERCIASISMerck & Company’s ongoing and generous donation of Mectizan®, kills themicroscopic worms in the body that can migrate to the eyes. Commonly known as“river blindness”, WHO’s new data shows that onchocerciasis is responsible for0.8% of the world’s blindness, or 296,000. However, over 17 million are infectedwith the disease and need treatment. IEF’s programs in Cameroon and Malawiresulted in significant increases in Mectizan distribution in 2004 totaling 1,468,915people treated. A new program in South Province of Cameroon supported by theInsel Foundation will report its treatment numbers in May 2005.CHILDHOOD BLINDNESSThe global efforts of non-governmental organizations, USAID, WHO, UNICEF, andthe governments themselves have placed a major emphasis on the reduction ofvitamin A and micro-nutrient deficiencies. WHO’s new data puts childhoodblindness at 3.9% or 1,443,000 blind children worldwide. In 2004, IEF’s child survivalprograms in Bolivia and Malawi focused on vitamin A and micro-nutrientdeficiency control, nutrition education, malaria prevention and control, andimmunizations. In Ichilo Province, Bolivia, 61,553 mothers and children werePhoto: VM Sheffield/IEF7

SightReach ® PREVENTIONtargeted resulting in an overall increase of immunization coverage of children 12-23months from 25% to 65%, and an increase in vitamin A capsule distribution to12-23 month olds from 3% to 77%. In Nsanje District, Malawi, approximately Photo: Gwen O’Donnell/IEF237,000 are targeted, 23% are women of child-bearing age and 17% are childrenunder age five years, in 513 villages. The external mid-term evaluation notes that population coverage increasedwell beyond original targets of 194,481, the child survival project has contributed to a wider nationalmovement to distribute treated bednets to make a significant impact on malaria, and analysis and improvement ofoperational health systems at the district level is a sustainable way to use resources more effectively and efficiently.Congenital cataract and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)continue to threaten children with a life of blindness.Our partners reported 586 sight-restoring operations onchildren in 2004.LOW VISIONThere are 124 million people with low vision worldwide according to WHO’s new data. IEF’s grant to New York basedLighthouse International enabled them to develop a Low Vision Training Course for two centers in India. Part I washeld at the LV Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad in January 2002. Part II trained low vision instructors at Aravind EyeHospital’s Vision Rehabilitation Centre in Madurai in December 2003. Aravind’s hands-on program trained 17ophthalmologists, optometrists, refractionists, ophthalmic assistants, and medical officers. The course includedpublic and professional awareness and specific topics such as management of the low vision patient, low visionoptics, low vision in children, diseases leading to low vision, use of low vision aids, and low vision services. Asocular complications of diabetes and macular degeneration increase worldwide, the need for low vision servicesbecomes critical in keeping people independent and able to function as normally as possible.With IEF support, the Aravind Eye Hospital at Coimbatore acquired a sophisticated digital retinalcamera to examine premature newborns at risk of ROP. Visual images of the babies’ retinas can be referredto the base hospital in Madurai in real time through a telemedicine hook-up.Aravind’s Director, Dr. Namperumalsamy reports the “RetCam has been an invaluable tool forscreening and documentation of ROP. It is being regularly used for all the babies who come for ROPexamination in our clinic. The biggest advantage of RetCam is that in just a few minutes one can finishthe full fundus examination and document almost the entire retina with just 5 photos.The digital images, which are permanently stored and easily retrievable, are shown to the parents on everyvisit. Through the pictures they can actually see what is happening in their child’s eye. This makes it easyfor them to understand and also they realize the importance of follow up.RetCam photos are also used in information brochures for parents and pediatricians, and in variouspresentations at national and international conferences and publications.”Photo: John M. Barrows/IEFMAGI EYE CLINIC, HONDURASFounding Board member, the late William M. Carrigan and his wife Ramona founded the Magi Eye Clinic in SanPedro Sula in 1986 serving 3.5 million people in the northern part of Honduras. Their dedication to preventingblindness and eye care for the poor is a source of inspiration still today. Three ophthalmologists and two nurses seeapproximately 1800 patients per month and perform 60 surgeries per week. Former IEF volunteer and Boardmember, Dr. Larry King has built the clinic’s capacity by training ophthalmologists and, with annual grants from IEF,making sure modern equipment is available.8

SightReach ® SURGICALCONTINUES TO GROW MAKING NEW, MODERN OPHTHALMIC PRODUCTSAVAILABLE TO EYE CARE PROVIDERS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD…As a component of SightReach® Management, it was critical to reduce thecosts of new and modern ophthalmic instruments, equipment, andconsumable supplies in order to reduce the cost of eye care in thedeveloping world. Ophthalmologists and eye hospitals, as well as charitiesworking overseas, need to buy equipment and supplies in order to keep eyecare services going. In 1999, IEF established SightReach Surgical®, amission-related social enterprise that procures ophthalmic products frommanufacturers around the world and sells them to our customers at reducedrates, thus allowing them to buy more with less. Since its establishment,SightReach Surgical® has grown providing quality products to customers inover 40 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and EasternEurope.
