"I am fortunate to have a relationship with the Iowa Lions Eye Bank for over 15 years. In that time, they have been a leader among eye banks nationwide in teaching and innovative research. In true midwest fashion, they have graciously shared their knowledge with surgeons such as me who have settled across the country, thus allowing countless other residents and fellows across the nation to benefit from their cutting edge innovations."
