Events & Observances

2025 Eye Donation Month

What is Eye Donation Month?

Eye Donation Month is an annual observance raising awareness about cornea donation and transplantation, honoring the gift of sight given by selfless donors and their families, celebrating corneal transplant recipients, and educating about eye donation and encouraging individuals to register as donors.

When is Eye Donation Month?

Eye Donation Month takes place each November. To prepare, watch this brief overview.

What is the theme of Eye Donation Month 2025?

This year’s Eye Donation Month theme is: “Everyday Heroes“. It celebrates how nearly anyone can be a cornea donor and therefore a superhero by giving the gift of sight. It also honors all the “everyday” superheroes who restore sight: donors and their families, eye bankers, corneal surgeons, champions of eye donation and more.
