The gift of sight

The Eye Bank is a registered non-profit organisation, authorised by the Dept. of Health to obtain and distribute eye tissue to Surgeons for transplant purposes.

This in order to restore or improve the sight of persons who are blind or partially blind due to corneal disease or injury.

The Eye Bank would like to encourage all South Africans to consider becoming a donor and thereby give the gift of sight and improve the lives of those who are waiting for a corneal graft. The need for donor corneas is never satisfied as new patients are continuously being added to the waiting list.
