Community eye banking
Transforming eye and vision care through community focus
Our greatest impact comes from
relationships with people in
the communities we serve —
surgeons, researchers, donor
families, recipients, charitable
supporters and the public. Working
together, we combine our unique

experiences and knowledge to
tackle the toughest challenges affecting donation,
transplantation and eye and vision research.
The impact of community eye banks is magnified
when we combine our resources and expertise with
the support of Eversight network services.
These connections create the framework for the most
effective approach to restoring sight and preventing
blindness — community eye banking.
See how Eversight Illinois is
bringing the healing power
of donation, transplantation
and research to people in our
community.
In an age where many organizations are consolidating
operations and reducing locations, Eversight is
deeply invested in maintaining localized services and
resources through our network of seven community
eye banks in Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan,
New Jersey, Ohio and South Korea.
Eversight provides a centralized system for managing
common operational functions — like donor
screening, logistics, clinical policies and procedures,
human resources, finance, marketing and information
technology — so we can focus on meeting our local
needs.
