EBAA Veterans

November 6, 2020

EBAA is fortunate to have many Veterans working throughout our member eye banks, whose military experience benefits them as eye bankers, and contributes to our mission to #RestoreSight worldwide. Because we have so many Veterans to honor, we’re taking the full Veterans Day week to salute their service. Here are some of their stories.

EBAA Veterans: Mike Tramber
“The field of donation allowed me to help people, and gives me surgical opportunities.” ...The Army has made him a better eye banker, saying, “It definitely instilled in me great discipline, strong work ethic, and overall sense of service to others.”
EBAA Women in STEM 2021: Marian Macsai, MD
Asked to advise other young women interested in a career in STEM she suggests, “Don’t listen to the boys in high school; follow your passion. They’re probably teasing you because they’re jealous. Try a lot of things, and don’t forget the arts! Art exposure makes you an ‘outside the box’ thinker and helps you excel.”
