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
50,000 people each year. We strive to be the
global partnership model for how eye banking
and charitable vision services can most
effectively serve people and communities.
When we looked back at our work from the past year, we noticed a
pattern: so much of our success could be traced back to our strategic
plan. At Saving Sight, we’ve always planned our work, but the strategic
planning process, started in February 2013, enabled us to bring our staff,
management, board of directors, and some other stakeholders together
to plan collaboratively. By integrating all of those different viewpoints,
we developed a strong sense of what we value, what we do well as an
organization, and what we want to achieve. As a result, we created a path
to change more lives by saving sight and pursued it wholeheartedly.
Our work is motivated by the recipients of our programs. So our plan
included numerous strategies that improved the way we helped people
regain and preserve their vision. In the pages that follow, you’ll find many
examples of our progress this past year, including:
• The introduction of Autologous Serum Eye Drops, an innovative
use of our existing capabilities to help people in a new way
• A 7.5 percent increase in corneal tissue distributed for transplant
• A record-breaking year for our KidSight program.
By making greater investments in our planning and our programs, we
were able to serve more people and to heighten our impact on each
individual recipient.
These achievements have been collaborative, which means we have you
to thank. Our staff and board members worked extremely hard to deliver
our programs day in and day out, but it is only through heroic cornea
donors, generous financial contributors, and supportive organizational
partners that we can thrive and make these investments in our programs.
So we thank you for your support.
Please join us in celebrating last year’s successes. Then renew your
commitment to our mission this year because it’s true that together, we
change lives by saving sight.
Sincerely,
Al Blumenberg Tony Bavuso
Tony BavusoChief Executive Officer
PCC Al BlumenbergPresident, Board of Directors

Reasons Lives by Saving Sight
Annual Report | Page 5
Cornea Donation & TransplantationSince 1960, Saving Sight has coordinated cornea donation and the distribution of corneas
for transplant. Today, we operate in Missouri, Kansas, and central Illinois, and we distribute
corneas to transplant surgeons in those states, the rest of the U.S., and around the world to
help people receive the precious gift of sight.
Pilot Receives Cornea Transplant & the Sight He Needs to Fly
With renewed vision and medical clearance to fly, Laren was back in the air for his first post-transplant flight in January. “It was just unbelievable,” he recalled. “I’m so thankful that I’m able to keep flying, something I love to do. I’m able to keep flying these jets. So I can’t express enough thanks to the donor who returned my sight.”
Veteran Will Enjoy Her Retirement Thanks to Corneal Transplants
Patricia became eligible to receive a cornea transplant in her right eye, which rescued her from more than five months of total blindness. Thanks to her optimism, supportive medical care, her donor families, and following her doctor’s instructions, Patricia is on the road to enjoying her retirement with clear vision.
Donor Mother Shares Her Experience with Donation
When Carol lost her 30-year-old son, Mark, she learned that he had made the pledge to become an eye donor. Her son’s heroic decision to donate impacted the lives of two cornea recipients as well as Carol and the rest of Mark’s family. She encourages others to consider donation and correspondence because it changes lives for the better.

KidSightOur trained technicians have screened more than 350,000 Missouri children since 1995.
Using a photoscreening device, we quickly and noninvasively screen children ages 6 months
to 6 years old for common causes of childhood vision loss free of charge, and we refer
at-risk children to eye doctors for examination and treatment.

KidSight Helps Jesse Succeed in School and on the Baseball Field
Cheri describes Jesse, her youngest son, as “a rambunctious superhero” with tons of energy. And now, with his vision being restored, he’s able to be a superhero on the baseball field, too, like his older brothers. Before the vision screening, “we tried to play catch with him, but he couldn’t and didn’t seem interested,” Cheri said. “Now he’s very interested. We think it was the vision that was throwing him off.”
Hannah’s Sight is Preserved Thanks to KidSight Referral
Cassidy describes her daughter, Hannah, as a complete social butterfly who loves to learn, read, and draw and who has an imagination that’s “out of this world.” “As long as someone’s telling her she’s cute, she’s content with her glasses,” Cassidy said. “I’m extremely thankful for the program you offer, free of charge, to the schools. I appreciate that as a parent.”
KidSight Helps Layla Obtain Healthy Vision to Read
“Layla does seem to be able to read better,” said her mother Delaina. “With her glasses on, she can read for longer periods. Earlier, her teacher said Layla was behind. But at the end of the year, the report card said she reached the first grade reading level so she’s where she should be. We know the screening made a big difference.”

Missouri Head Start Association Names
Saving Sight an Outstanding Partner
In 2013, Missouri Head Start served
20,080 families, and KidSight
screened 7,854 children at 190
Missouri Head Start sites. “We were
selected as an Outstanding Partner
because we screen at so many
centers each year,” said Tamara
Oberbeck, RN, M.Ed, director of the
KidSight program. “The Missouri
Head Start Association understands
that healthy vision is important to
success in school. And KidSight
gives free health information to these
committed parents so the children
with vision problems can get early
treatment.”

Community Vision Programs
Our community vision programs change lives locally and globally. We screen adults at
Missouri businesses, health fairs, and community events to detect glaucoma and age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). We also collaborate with the Missouri Lions to collect used
eyeglasses and recycle them for distribution abroad.
Healthy Vision Screenings Screened 2,561 adults for glaucoma & AMD.
Eyeglass RecyclingMore than 60,000 pairs of eyeglasses collected.
Jefferson City Residents Distribute Recycled
Eyeglasses in Mexico
Since 2010, Larry (right) has
organized mission trips through his
community and Concord Baptist
Church to distribute used glasses
in central Mexico. The group has
provided more than 15,500 pairs
of glasses to people in need,
nearly all of which were originally
collected by the Missouri Lions
and Saving Sight.
We’re pleased to begin offering autologous
serum eye drops (ASED) in Missouri. Applying
our technology, aseptic technique, and clean
processing environments, we prepare ASED
in our Kansas City and St. Louis facilities.
Because ASED is made with the patient’s
own serum, the drops are non-allergenic and
avoid the risk of disease transmission. ASED
has been proven successful in treating a wide
range of ocular surface conditions, including:
Dry eye
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Graft vs. Host disease
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis
Neurotrophic keratitis
For 30 years, human serum has been
considered an excellent substitute for tears
due to their biochemical similarities. Saving
Sight dilutes the patients’ serum, creating
eye drops that offer a safe, natural, and
preservative-free alternative or addition to
other therapies. For more information, visit
saving-sight.org/ased.

Funding the Gap for Charitable Vision ProgramsWhile the largest portion of Saving Sight’s revenue comes as a result of eye bank operations, our
charitable vision programs are funded only through generous financial donations. Our KidSight and
community vision programs--with budgets totaling over $350,000--are made possible by individuals,
organizations and institutions that believe in each program’s mission of changing lives by saving sight.

Misko was a leader in Saving Sight’s eye banking program. When he passed away, we partnered with Numedis to cosponsor a memorial scholarship, which supports promising eye banking technicians’ travel to the EBAA Technician Education Seminar. “I believe this is a particularly meaningful way to honor Jachin because it represents the impact he had on eye banking,” said CEO Tony Bavuso.
