Eye Bank Experience Program

The CorneaGen Eye Bank Experience Program is designed for corneal fellows to gain a deeper understanding of eye banking and the critical steps that occur between corneal donation and tissue delivery—long before tissue ever reaches the clinic.

Through expert-led in-person presentations and videos, fellows learn how corneal tissue is recovered, evaluated, processed, and prepared to support safe, successful surgery. From there, fellows have the opportunity to participate in hands-on tissue processing and surgical technique wet labs.

About

CorneaGen’s one-of-a-kind Eye Bank Experience Program is a virtual program that introduces corneal fellows to the day-to-day operations of an eye bank, following the path of a cornea from the time of donation consent to when the cornea is shipped for surgery.

Upcoming sessions will be held March 20 – 22 in Orlando and June 5-7 in Seattle.

It’s pretty amazing to see where the tissue comes from. When you’re a surgeon, you often forget all the work that goes behind getting what you need to take care of your patients. This is really a singular experience and I think that every fellow should go through it.
