Be a champion for eye donation
Over 2 million corneal transplants have been performed by EBAA member eye banks.
Recipients range from newborns to senior citizens and come from all walks of life. You can transform the life of someone suffering from corneal blindness; register as an eye, organ and tissue donor, and let someone see life through your eyes.

Danny’s doctor recommended corneal transplant surgery, and within a week, surgery was performed on one eye, resulting in near 20/20 vision. A few years later, Danny had surgery on his second eye. His vision had been saved by two donors, and he felt it was his calling to give back through organ donation.
