The Illinois College of Optometry's school-based clinic, the Illinois Eye Institute at Princeton, received a $249,000 grant from the Illinois Children's Healthcare Foundation. The grant will be used to expand clinic capacity and address the unmet vision care needs of Chicago Public Schools students.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2013 –The Illinois College of Optometry and Chicago Public Schools have received a $249,000 grant in support of their school-based eye clinic, the Illinois Eye Institute at Princeton, which has served more than 11,000 students since it opened two years ago. The grant was awarded by the Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation, an organization committed to improving the health of all children across the state.

 

“The mission of the foundation is to create opportunities for and lead in the development of initiatives that improve the health of all children,” said ILCHF Senior Program Officer Bob Egan. “By partnering with ICO and CPS, children will have the opportunity to succeed in school and be ready to learn by receiving the proper eye care they need to grow up healthy.”

 

“We are very pleased the ILCHF has awarded us this significant grant and recognizes the essential services our school-based eye clinic provides,” said ICO President Dr. Arol Augsburger. “This grant will go a long way in supporting our efforts to address the unmet need of vision care for children within the city of Chicago.”

 

In partnership with CPS, ICO established the nation’s largest school-based clinic—the Illinois Eye Institute at Princeton—to provide primary and advanced eye care services year-round to underserved youth. For some, this clinic has provided access to needed corrective eyewear for the first time. The award from the ILCHF will be used to increase clinic capacity and invest in equipment that will provide advanced diagnostic testing onsite. The grant will also provide critical support for an additional staff person to champion the program within the CPS system.

 

"Since the clinic has been opened, more than 11,000 students have received eye exams and 75 percent have received eyeglasses,” said CPS Chief Health Officer Dr. Stephanie A. Whyte. “Without a doubt, we know those children have an increased opportunity to perform better in school. We value our partnership with ICO and are grateful to the ILCHF for supporting our efforts to expand vision services for CPS students."

 

The clinic is outfitted with 13 eye exam lanes and is open Monday to Friday, with mornings reserved to accommodate CPS schools and afternoons structured to see walk-ins and provide necessary follow-up care. ICO students provide much of the clinical care under the supervision of optometrists who are also ICO faculty members. Youth in need of advanced or immediate care are referred to the Illinois Eye Institute for further testing.

The Research Symposium at ICO is held annually in October, showcasing the outstanding quality and diversity of research at ICO for the preceding year. The Research Symposium cultivates a research environment and provides an opportunity for faculty, residents and students to present their research work and discuss research ideas. Posters from professional meetings are exhibited, including SECO, ARVO, AOA, COVD, WCO, AAO, IBIA, ISER, GSLS, Society for Neuroscience and other meetings. Publications are also displayed.

The Symposium is also intended to spotlight exceptional faculty, residents and students through the various awards that are presented for presentations and publications. Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Research Symposium which will be held on Friday October 11th, 2013!

Upon completing his bachelors degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Baas received his optometric and residency training at ICO, where he has been a part-time faculty member since 2007. In 2009 Dr. Baas founded Marketplace Vision, a private practice, where he continues to see patients and manage the office. He is active with the IEI Sports Vision Service conducting vision screenings and providing care for collegiate and professional athletes in the Chicago area. Dr. Baas is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and has lectured on numerous topics in practice management.

Why ICO?

Ever since I was a student at ICO I knew that I wanted to return as a full-time faculty member. The clinical education is unrivaled and the faculty, staff and administration work as a cohesive unit to ensure that every single student is provided the tools they need to become a successful optometrist. My current position allows me to utilize both my clinical and administrative skills in an academic setting and I am excited to be a part of the ICO/IEI team.
