The Louisiana Lions Eye Bank is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to help in the restoration of sight to the visually impaired. How do we do this? We match donors with surgeons who are seeking corneas for transplant for their patients.
It is hard to think about donation at the time of death when families are grieving. Because of time constraints, it is vital that we gain their consent as quickly as we can. This is where you can make a huge difference by registering now to become a donor, and making your family members aware of your wishes. This makes it a lot easier for them.
