For over 75 years, Eversight has been working to restore sight and prevent blindness through the healing power of donation, transplantation and research.

One billion people are coping with blindness or visual impairment globally, including 12 million who suffer from corneal blindness - the fourth leading cause of blindness worldwide. Your generosity helps ensure Eversight can continue making an impact in the fight against preventable blindness.

Thanks to your support in 2024, our impact was remarkable: 

  • 14,927 total eye tissues were acquired for transplants, research and education 
  • 10,204 tissues were made available for sight-restoring transplants, including 105 tissues that were provided gratis to patients in need around the world
  • 4,723 tissues were used to advance research and clinical knowledge 

Thank you for changing lives!
