For more than 25 years, the Academy Foundation has advanced lifelong ophthalmic education and public service thanks to the support of thousands of donors.

Last year, proceeds from the Orbital Gala:

• Continued the funding for both established and new educational practice products such as ProVision, the Academy's premiere resource for continuing medical education with 450 illustrated questions and discussions in nine subspecialty areas, including the rapidly changing field of kerato-refractive surgery,
  


• Provided more than 50,000 people with eye care and eye health information through EyeCare America (ECA) and its 7,100 volunteer ophthalmologists; ECA also created an award-winning eye health Web site for use by the public- www.eyecareamerica.org -which has hosted over 120,000 visitors within its first eight months,
  


• Shared the educational offerings and experience of the Academy's Annual Meeting with five ophthalmologists from developing nations through the Academy's International Outreach Rotary Host Program, and
  


• Captured one of the Museum of Vision's most popular Annual Meeting exhibits "On the Shoulders of Giants" to the museum's Web site, www.museumofvision.org where visitors can continue to learn about the historical leaders and legends of ophthalmology.
  

Your generosity is a tribute to a great profession and the patients we serve.
