Eye Banking Today
Since 1995, we have eliminated a local waiting list for transplants.
The current situation has given rise to higher quality standards for transplantable tissue.
Once staffed primarily by volunteers, Eye Banks are now fully staffed with Certified Eye Bank Technicians and various administrative staff.
Federal government has taken large steps in the regulation of human tissue in recent years.
Medical advancement in Organ and Tissue transplantation continues to have dramatic effects on Eye Bank operations. We have become part of a much larger group of transplant organizations.

Carlie’s Gifts Changed Lives…
Unexpectedly, at age 11, Carlie did not recover from a severe seizure.
When it determined there were no more miracles for their little girl, Carlie’s family decided to create a miracle for another family.
The decision to donate Carlie’s corneas and organs was such easy one for her family to make because of the kind of person Carlie was.
“Her arms were always open and she had a constant smile on her face. Carlie was an extremely giving person,” says her mother, Maria.
Carlie’s family looks at cornea and organ donation as an obvious and only choice. “Why not give? A part of Carlie will live through someone else,” said Maria.

My sincerest condolences for the tragic loss of your loved one. I hope, however, that some solace can be taken in knowing that a great gift has resulted from this tragedy as I was the recipient of a donor cornea from your loved one. Thanks to this, I can see out of my right eye for the first time in twelve years! This gift will allow me to continue my work as a television producer; be able to enjoy playing soccer: a game I have loved since I was five years old; but, most important, I am able to wake up in the morning and see my wife’s face. I will always value this blessing and treasure the gift that your sacrifice has given me.
Thank you.Sincerely,
AndyA very grateful donor recipient
