Eye Donation Month is held each November to help bring awareness to the importance of eye donation. All month long, Miracles In Sight, (with the help of the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) and eye banks around the world) will help generate awareness about the need for eye donation, common misconceptions about the process, and life-changing opportunities that are created when recipients regain their sight through corneal transplants.
With the help of our partners, we can continue to further our mission to support the restoration, preservation, and enhancement of sight through transplant, research and innovation together.
