A new issue of the International Journal of Eye Banking is out! Read it for free today - EyeBankingJournal.org

November is !

All month long we are:

- Raising awareness about cornea donation and transplantation
- Honoring the gift of sight given by selfless donors and their families
- Celebrating cornea transplant recipients
- Educating about eye donation and encouraging individuals to register as donors

For 2021, we continue the theme: Community of ComPASSION, emphasizing the PASSION eye bankers and cornea surgeons have for sight restoration, the PASSIONS pursued by donors during their lifetimes, and the PASSIONS recipients can fully explore, thanks to the gift of sight.
