A message from the president... I hope this message finds all of our partners and funders safe and well from the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to thank you and the Sight Savers America Board and Staff for helping us navigate these turbulent times, allowing us to continue improving the lives of the children we serve. Like most organizations, we faced numerous challenges during the pandemic and adapted in order to shield our nonprofit and those whom we serve from its impact. We successfully met all challenges and are well-positioned to continue to sustain and expand upon past achievements. Our financial condition remains strong and our Eye Care, Low Vision, and Screening programs continued to serve those in need throughout 2019 and 2020. Below are a few significant details of the past two years: • The pandemic led to a decreased number of children vision screened in the community by our partners, resulting in less referrals to our Eye Care Program. The amount of time staff dedicated to each child’s eye care dramatically increased due to the need for appointment rescheduling and expanded communication with parents. • Our Low Vision Program increased the number of individuals receiving high-tech vision aids and even expanded to our 15th state. This was accomplished through virtual meetings, allowing for one-on-one remote trainings and additional training sessions as needed. • Our Screening Program worked diligently with school officials and provided screening opportunities never before offered by Sight Savers America. This included screenings for virtual learners after school hours and multiple day screening events for schools utilizing alternating day schedules. We also experienced major leadership changes within Sight Savers America in the summer of 2020. Margie Haddox retired on May 27, 2020. Margie’s expert advice, dedication and passion for Sight Savers America will be greatly missed! She was involved in a wide range of activities since inception, including the design and implementation of the Eye Care Program, the creation of the Low Vision Program, and strategic positioning for expansion. Bill Burrus, our longtime Chairman of the Board, passed away on July 7, 2020. Bill was an inspiration! He had a true passion for service and was always willing to lend a helping hand with a smile on his face. The Sight Savers America Board, Staff and I miss him tremendously and are so grateful for his enduring friendship and leadership. Thank you for your support and involvement in the work of Sight Savers America. We look forward to continuing our partnerships with you as we honor the legacy of Bill and Margie to improve children’s eye care. Regards, Jeff Haddox

EYE CARE PROGRAM
Sight Savers America’s Eye Care Program is a national model for children’s
individual case managed follow-up eye care. This one-of-a-kind program
partners with many vision screening and other referring organizations and
over 1,300 eye care professionals who provide comprehensive eye care
services to children in need, helping them achieve their best vision. From
birth until their 19th birthday, all aspects of a child’s eye care needs are
managed through our detailed follow-up (including extensive eye care
education/awareness, comprehensive dilated eye exams, eyeglasses,
medications, vision therapies, aphakic contact lenses, surgeries, and and all
other necessary treatments).
Each of the nearly 100,000 children referred in the past two years received
one-on-one cased managed eye care. Sight Savers America (SSA) continues to
serve children statewide in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina and
in areas of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Since the
program’s inception, we have provided eye care for nearly 700,000 children with unmet vision
needs. SSA provides a local eye care home and coordinates recurrent eye exams and prescribed treatments throughout a child’s
formative years. The vast majority of these children are assisted numerous times from preschool all the way to high school graduation.
Working closely with partners and following all local/state/federal safety guidelines, SSA continued operations during COVID-19,
ensuring school children received all needed eye care services. Parents of children with scheduled eye exams affected by the pandemic
were informed their child’s appointment would be rescheduled. Case Managers worked with individual eye care offices to reschedule
cancelled appointments and communicated their safety protocols to parents/guardians.

her eyes are going to be ok now!

LOW VISION PROGRAM
Sight Savers America (SSA) is the only organization in the United
States that proactively places high-tech vision aids, such as Electronic
Video Magnifiers (EVMs), into the homes of children with severe visual
impairment on a city or statewide scale – all at no cost to qualifying
families. EVMs are more expensive than the average family can afford
and are not covered by medical insurance.
EVMs are life-changing devices that allow each child to make the most
of his or her remaining vision. They dramatically enhance contrast
and magnify objects up to 118x, and will open up a new world of
opportunity, allowing a child to read, write, groom themselves, and
even see their loved ones’ faces clearly.
Over the past two years, our Low Vision Program has continued to
expand across the United States and provided services for over 3,000 individuals in 15 states (AL, AR, AZ,
CA, FL, GA, HI, IL, LA, MS, NC, OH, SC, TN, and TX). SSA has successfully eliminated the backlog of children
with low vision needs in all of Alabama, Mississippi, and the panhandle of Florida, over 50% of Texas, as
well as over 75% of Louisiana, and significant portions of several other cities and states.
Once the original backlog is eradicated within a city/state, the program’s maintenance phase—for children
who may age into the program, move into the area, or develop new eye problems—serves a smaller number
of children newly identified each year (approximately 10% of the original need). When additional funding
allows, SSA also serves adults with low vision and individuals needing blind aids.

CHILDREN & ADULTS CONTINUED TO RECEIVE
HIGH-TECH VISION AIDS THROUGHOUT COVID-19
As the pandemic emerged in 2020 and schools moved to virtual instruction, it became even more essential for
children and adults with severe visual impairment to have high-tech vision aids in their homes to help them
read, write, and complete school assignments. Prior to the pandemic, in-person trainings were conducted at a
clinic for multiple individuals or in a family’s home. Once face-to-face trainings were not possible, we began
shipping the vision aids directly to the recipient’s home and held virtual training sessions.
These sessions have been very effective, allowing us to increase the training time with each person, as well as
perform additional training sessions when needed. As a result, there has been no decrease in the number of
people served and we will continue virtual trainings when appropriate.
I wanted to thank your
organization for the gift of
an EVM. I have been able to
graduate high school, receive
my associates degree and now
pursue a bachelors degree in
education. - Lindsay 7

SCREENING PROGRAM
Sight Savers America’s Screening Program provides vision screenings
in Alabama Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and health
screenings in Alabama. Our staff and partners worked closely together
to ensure school children continued to receive these important screenings
and follow-up care during COVID-19.
VISION SCREENINGS
Sight Savers America’s Vision Screening Program provides school-based vision screenings using a
Plusoptix vision screener. In less than one second, the state of the art optometric device screens for
anisocoria, anisometropia, astigmatism, corneal reflex abnormalities, myopia, hyperopia, and
indications of amblyopia. If not identified and treated early on, amblyopia can cause permanent
vision loss. All children found to have a potential vision issue are referred to our Eye Care Program for
comprehensive case managed follow-up eye care.
Over the past two years, the Vision Screening Program continued to expand preschool screenings in
Head Starts, daycares, and preschool programs in the Lower Pearl River Valley of MS and the greater
San Antonio, TX area. During the 2019-2020 school year, Sight Savers America (SSA) restructured the
Vision Screening Program in Fulton County, GA schools. SSA now performs these screenings and has
increased the number of 3rd and 5th graders served annually to 4,000 students.

HEALTH SCREENINGS IN ALABAMA
Sight Savers America’s Health Screening Program provides annual head-to-toe health screenings to preschool-12th grade students in
underserved schools across Alabama. These screenings detect potential vision and health issues impeding a child’s ability to learn and
perform at their best.
Through expanded funding, SSA provided health screenings to an additional 5,000 children in
Alabama’s Black Belt and surrounding counties during the 2019-2020 school year. These
screenings were not affected by the pandemic because their event dates occurred prior to the
pandemic.
Over the past two years, our partnerships with nursing and professional schools throughout
the state have provided valuable clinical experiences for 3,639 future nurses and
professional students. A faculty member from Samford University‘s Moffett & Sanders
School of Nursing recently told us, “I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your continued
partnership and investment in our nursing students. Providing health screening experiences
and opportunities for our students has truly opened their eyes and given them an appreciation
why these preventive screenings are so very important. Through student reflections and comments,
we’ve seen growth and understanding that might not have happened were it not for us being able to
partner with you like we have. We wholeheartedly believe in and support the work you do and it’s such a
blessing to be part of it.”

11REMEMBERING BILL
Sight Savers America lost an incredible friend and champion for children’s
eye care in the summer of 2020.
William E. “Bill” Burrus Jr. passed away on July 7, 2020, at the age
of 94. He was known for his spectacular smile, warm heart, positive
outlook, generous nature, and let’s not forget…a wardrobe of MANY
colors. People who knew Bill well often described him as “the nicest
person I ever met.” He was devout in his faith, loved to dance and loved
helping people, especially children in need of eye care. He was blessed
with good health and an abundance of energy until his last year. He loved
life and lived it well!
Bill was drafted during his senior year in high school and within months was part of the Battle of
the Bulge. He received his high school diploma during the war and then attended the University of
Alabama. His professional career included 50 years in the insurance and financial planning industry.
Bill’s interest and enthusiam for children’s eye care began because of his daughter’s vision issues in
her childhood.
Bill served as a Sight Savers America board member since our inception and was our Chairman of the
Board until 2019, leading for over a decade. Under his leadership and dedication to our mission, we
expanded to serving almost 100,000 children every year.
He was such a gift. We miss him greatly.

Sight Savers America would like to thank Margie Haddox for her dedicted
service of 23 years and helping to create a place that has made a real
difference in the world.
Margie is a founding member of Sight
Savers America (SSA) and was VP and
Director of the Low Vision Program until her
retirement on May 27, 2020.
Margie’s contributions to SSA began in
1997. She was a full-time volunteer for
almost 4 years, involved in all aspects
of shaping the organization, including designing and implementing the Eye Care
Program, creating the Low Vision Program, and the strategic positioning of SSA for
expansion.
Margie was hired in 2000 and, over the next 20-plus years, she played an instrumental role
in both the Eye Care and Low Vision programs. Most recently, with the help of a dedicated
team, she oversaw the expansion of the Low Vision Program into 15 states.
Margie’s dedication to SSA is unwavering and her
contributions throughout the past 23 years have been
invaluable in helping SSA become a national model
in children’s low vision and eye care services. Whether
scheduling eye exams for children in her early days,
training a child with severe low vision on an electronic
video magnifier, or overseeing a low vision clinic –
Margie’s heart for service always shined!
Please join us in wishing Margie a wonderful retirement. The good news is, it’s not
goodbye, as she will be returning to SSA as a volunteer!
