Eye Donation Month
Gain a new perspective and let your ability to restore sight change your view!
Eye Donation Month is observed every November across the United States in partnership with the Eye Bank Association of America. In Colorado and Wyoming, the staff at the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank is celebrating region-wide sharing the purpose of Eye Donation Month, which 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 cornea donors
- Educate about eye donation and encourage individuals to register as eye donors
Celebrate With Us!
