Saving Sight 
Restoring Vision Enabling Children
Every child deserves good vision to learn, play and to experience life fully. Help restore vision before it's too late.
An increasing number of patients who do not qualify for state or federal assistance, have no Medicaid or health insurance, are not admitted by medical establishments. Distressed patients arrive to the clinic daily and require immediate medical care: These kids are not only afflicted with eye disorders, but their families endure continuous rejection for their inability to pay. Some patients arrive with no insurance and barely a pair of shoes, a truly heartbreaking situation. Our job is to welcome them and provide consultation, the best treatment and/or surgical care at no cost to the families. In some instances, we provide medication and even transportation.
The exceptional team of pediatric ophthalmologists at the Center volunteer their time, skills, and facilities to preserve and restore the sight of children who do not have health insurance or those who cannot afford quality eye care. Donated Professional Fees in 2021 were valued at $476,250 and included: 1,565 patient exams and evaluations, 80 surgical procedures, 100 hospital consultations, 300 newborn screenings and 25 Emergency Care cases at Scottish Rite Hospital.
