SightLife

Founded in 1969, SightLife is a non-profit global health organization focused on eliminating corneal blindness, 98% of which is in developing countries. Our efforts focus on activating awareness and prevention, building transplant capability, and improving patient outcomes. 

In the US, our domestic eye bank operations focus on tissue recovery facilitation that educates and counsels grieving families and works closely with hospitals and other donation partners to offer as many families as possible the opportunity to give the gift of sight. 

Globally, we provide grants, training, certification and consulting, free of charge, in the areas of policy & advocacy, awareness, prevention, partnerships, eye banking, surgeon training and follow up care. Our goal is to create sustainable ecosystems that ensure no one must wait for a sight restoring surgery.
