Lone Star Lions Eye Bank


There is no substitute for human tissue. Sight restorative corneal transplants offer those suffering from corneal blindness a new chance at a healthy and productive life. By choosing to be an eye and cornea donor, you may provide someone with the priceless gift of sight. And, through research, your invaluable contribution can advance the discovery of the causes of many sight disorders as well as treatments and cures.
