Millions of people around the world struggle to live with corneal blindness, which is the loss of sight caused by damage to the surface of the eye.
It’s a treatable condition with a clear solution: a corneal transplant. Yet a shortage of transplant tissue and insufficient surgeon training keep over 12.7 million men, women, and children in the dark.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality donor tissue, unparalleled customer service and superior products that transform how ophthalmologists treat and care for every person impacted by corneal disease.
