Charitable tissue for uninsured patients in the U.S.
Eversight’s charitable tissue program makes corneal transplantation possible for U.S. patients who are uninsured or otherwise unable to afford this critical procedure. Through this initiative, we offer high-quality donor tissue at a reduced or waived fee to surgeons, ensuring that financial hardship does not prevent individuals from regaining their sight. Surgeons who have an existing relationship with Eversight are invited to apply for this program—subject to approval and tissue availability—to help underserved patients restore their vision and improve their quality of life.
Global aid for underserved communities
The Eversight global aid program extends the gift of sight to underserved communities worldwide. We provide donor corneal tissue to surgeons who travel abroad to perform surgeries in areas lacking access to donor tissue or trained clinicians. By partnering with local healthcare providers, we help bridge the gap between need and access, supporting surgeons in delivering sight-restoring surgeries to those who would otherwise remain in darkness. Surgeons in our network may apply to receive tissue for these missions—subject to approval and tissue availability—allowing them to make a lasting impact in communities most in need.
Advancing our shared mission to restore sight globally
Eversight works to eliminate corneal blindness worldwide through eye bank development, clinical training and tissue provision. With more than 75 years of eye banking expertise, we deliver both short- and long-term solutions to transform the lives of more than 12 million people suffering from corneal blindness globally.
Through the incredible generosity of our donors and donor families—as well as philanthropic support—Eversight offers these charitable tissue and global aid programs to underserved patients whenever possible. By empowering surgeons to change lives, we help create resilient, self-sufficient communities and give individuals the opportunity to thrive personally and economically through the gift of sight.
