Eye Bank Association

The Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) is the world's oldest transplant association dedicated to the restoration of sight worldwide. As the nationally-recognized accrediting and standards setting body for eye banks, EBAA ensures that its members uphold the highest standards in the field. They provide a range of services and resources to support their members, including education, accreditation, certification, grants, scholarships, and publications.

Since 1961, EBAA member eye banks have provided tissue for over 2 million sight restoring corneal transplants, changing lives and restoring vision for people suffering from corneal blindness. The success rate of these transplants is between 95-98%, making a significant impact on individuals and their communities. In addition, cornea transplants performed annually contribute over $6 billion to the economy.

EBAA members serve all 50 U. S. By registering as an eye, organ, and tissue donor, you can become a champion for eye donation and make a profound impact on someone's life.

Recipients of corneal transplants range from newborns to senior citizens, and anyone can become a donor regardless of age or background. Through the generosity of organ donors, individuals like Dr. Maisha Gray Diggs, Colton, and many others have had their vision restored, allowing them to fully experience and appreciate the wonders of the world.
