Lifetime Giving
Christine Perry (left) has been struggling with glaucoma for 14 years. She’s able to see today because she had an eye screening. Her ophthalmologist, Mildred M. G. Olivier, MD, stresses the importance of educating patients on their conditions and urges them to encourage family and friends to have annual exams. “There is still no cure for glaucoma,” she said. “Catching it early allows patients to have a longer period of maintenance.”
The Foundation gratefully acknowledges the following individuals for their lifetime commitment of $10,000 or more toward the Academy’s mission and priority programs in education, quality of care and service.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Christopher F. Blodi, MD
OPHTHALMOLOGY has always been at the forefront of technology and medical advancement. The Academy Foundation helps to ensure that we continue to evolve and gain more knowledge. Foundation funding is vital to the Academy’s initiatives to improve patient care through advocacy and clinical education.
My wife and I decided that focusing on the causes we felt most passionate about was the best way for our contributions to have maximum impact. We support organizations like the Foundation that exemplify what we believe in and use our donations wisely and effectively.
Foundation funding also helps define and connect our field’s past, present and future by supporting important programs like the Museum of Vision. The museum preserves our heritage and history by sharing our many achievements. Along with its collection of ophthalmic antiquities, the museum is also a valuable educational resource for the community.
The Foundation’s mission reminds me why I wanted to be a doctor — to help and give to others. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through donations. I am proud to be an ophthalmologist and a member of the Academy, and I am excited to contribute to the advancement of the field.
Dr. Blodi and his wife, Patti, give annually at the Partners for Sight level. They have made more than $27,000 in lifetime donations to the Foundation.

”The Academy provides great value to its members. When I was in practice, the range and quality of educational resources meant a great deal to me. I made a bequest to the Academy Foundation to ‘pay it forward’ for future generations of ophthalmologists and to benefit our patients.”
