Canadian Eye Banks
The Eye Bank of Canada began in 1955 as a joint effort of CNIB and the Canadian Ophthalmological Society. Today, hospitals, service clubs and universities are joining the effort with funding, research and volunteer support.
Corneal transplants are the most successful kind of transplant performed today, but those in need depend on you to give the gift of sight. To give the gift of sight, simply fill out any donor consent card such as the one that comes with your driver's license and keep the card with you at all times.
