For over 75 years, Eversight has been working to restore sight and prevent blindness through the healing power of donation, transplantation and research.

Give today

One billion people are coping with blindness or visual impairment globally, including 12 million who suffer from corneal blindness - the fourth leading cause of blindness worldwide. Your generosity helps ensure Eversight can continue making an impact in the fight against preventable blindness.

Thanks to your support in 2024, our impact was remarkable: 

  • 10,204 cornea and other eye tissues were provided for sight-restoring transplants all around the world 
  • 4,723 tissues opened new frontiers in research, education & clinical training, paving the way for future breakthroughs in preventing, treating and curing blinding eye conditions
  • 343 training sessions were delivered to 918 surgeons and other clinicians in 34 countries, ensuring that more professionals have the expertise to restore sight and improve patient outcomes 

Thank you for changing lives!
