Funding Opportunities

For more than 60 years, the mission of Iowa Lions Eye Bank has been to enhance people’s quality of life through the restoration and preservation of sight. Your financial contributions play an important role in making that happen.

Thanks to its many selfless donors and their families, Iowa Lions Eye Bank is on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to recover and prepare donated corneal tissue for transplant to patients who need it.

Iowa Lions Eye Bank also conducts important research to help improve surgical techniques and tissue processing. This research can improve outcomes for the 40,000 or more cornea transplant recipients around the country each year – or perhaps help people avoid the need for a transplant in the first place.

Please consider giving to Iowa Lions Eye Bank and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at University of Iowa Health Care to help find the next generation of treatments and cures for diseases that rob people of their vision.
