Our Programs

Roselawn Eye Clinic

In 2008, The Foundation opened the Roselawn Eye Clinic, the first charitable eye clinic of its kind in the tri-state area. The clinic has one part-time coordinator and over 100 volunteers. It provides free comprehensive eye examinations to uninsured low-income adults.

The Dr. Richard S. Kerstine Vision Outreach Program

The Dr. Richard S. Kerstine Vision Outreach Program Provides free screenings and lectures on a variety of vision threatening eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration. With seniors and African Americans at greatest risk for certain eye diseases, early detection of these conditions can prevent vision loss.

New for 2012! I-CARE Partners Program:  This is an opportunity for your business to provide preventive eye care for your employees. Let The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation provide an educational lunch and learn all about EYES. We also provide onsite vision screenings for a nominal fee.  Please contact Amy Jones for a list of programs as well as pricing at 513-569-3643

Research

To support research is to support the hope and promise that one day we will discover new cures and improved treatments for the most daunting eye diseases. The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation supports various areas of research in ophthalmology. Research grants are offered in the field of ophthalmology for noteworthy projects.

The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation has been honored with a
