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.
