Claim Nonprofit Profile

The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation's (CEIF) Mission is to preserve and improve sight. CEIF provides access to eye care services for the most vulnerable and the underserved in the region. It also advances the education of eye care professionals, it educates the public about vision-related issues, and it funds eye-related research. CEIF has found that the most effective and efficient way to achieve its mission and goals is through the sharing of resources, the exchange of information, and the forging of collaborative partnerships with other community groups, agencies and like-minded individuals. CEIF has come to realize that it takes a community-wide effort to ensure that all individuals living in Greater Cincinnati have access to the eye care they need. This philosophy has led to CEIF's opening free clinics in partnership with other providers in neighborhoods of high poverty and high unemployment.
