Eversight works around the clock to ensure donor wishes are honored and the miraculous gift of sight is available for those in need.When tissue is deemed eligible for transplantation Eversight Tissue Distribution matches donor tissue with surgeon requests. The Tissue Processing team prepares it for surgery, and it’s packed in a cooler and prepared for shipment.
Tissue Distribution staff coordinate complex logistics to ensure timely and efficient delivery of these precious gifts worldwide.
Last year, 4,478 transplants occurred outside the U.S. using tissues recovered and prepared by Eversight. We also provided 404 tissues globally for research and education and trained 85 international clinicians.
139 tissues provided by our charitable tissue and global aid programs extended sight-restoring care to underserved individuals and communities around the world.
Eversight’s Tissue Distribution team adapts to flight cancellations, weather events and any number of unforeseen circumstances to ensure tissue arrives before the scheduled surgery.
Clinical staff at the surgical center unpackage tissues and ensure each one is assigned to the correct surgical case. Transplants are performed throughout the day and the miraculous road to sight begins.
Many recipients can see clearly within just a few days of transplantation.
Lives are transformed by the gift of sight every day, all because of the generosity of eye donors and their families.
