Eye Donation
Did you know that an estimated 12 million people around the world suffer from corneal blindness, which could be restored with a cornea transplant? By registering to be an eye donor, you can make a significant difference in someone's life by giving the gift of sight.
At SODA, we are passionate about saving lives and encourage our students to learn more about eye donation. Please take a look at these informative guides:
This guide was created by our friends at the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA). EBAA provides a second chance at life by obtaining, medically evaluating, and distributing ocular tissue for transplant, research, and education. On average, EBAA eye banks provide tissue for more than 85,000 sight-restoring corneal transplants each year. Since 1961, EBAA member eye banks have facilitated over 2 million sight-restoring and life-transforming corneal transplants.
