Join us in celebrating the gift of sight and raising awareness about corneal donation and transplantation during Eye Donation Month in November.
Every November, we join Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) to celebrate the life-changing impact of cornea donation and transplantation, and recognize all those who donate the gift of sight for others for transplantation or critically needed vision research. Eye Donation Month is an opportunity to put a spotlight on the 12 million people worldwide suffering from blindness that can be restored with a corneal transplant.
The purpose of Eye Donation Month is to:
- Raise Awareness about cornea donation and transplantation
- Honor the gift of sight given by selfless donors and their families
- Celebrate cornea transplant recipients living their fullest lives thanks to the generosity of donors
- Educate about eye donation and encourage individuals to register as donors
The 2023 Eye Donation Month theme, “A Community of Compassion,” highlights the many individuals who work together to make restored vision through transplantation possible.
Eye Donation Month is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of registering to be a donor, cornea donation and transplantation. Visit RestoreSight.org to learn how you can get involved.
