Eye Donation Month is observed each November, and this year's theme is "We Can See Clearly Now."
The purpose of Eye Donation Month is to:
- Raise Awareness about cornea donation and transplantation
- Honor the gift of sight given by selfless donors and their families
- Celebrate cornea transplant recipients living their fullest lives thanks to the generosity of donors
- Educate about eye donation and encourage individuals to register as donors
This year, Iowa Lions Eye Bank is planning a number of activities to commemorate Eye Donation Month.
