Imagine what it would be like to lose your eyesight. Blinding eye diseases affect 80 million Americans, who are unable to see loved ones, drive to work or read the newspaper. Consider that vision loss results in an annual economic impact of $51.4 billion. Now, consider what you would do to help a single person whose blindness can be treated.
As a nonprofit and proud member of the Chicago community since 1947, Eversight is committed to restoring sight and preventing blindness through the healing power of donation, transplantation and research. As Illinois’ only eye bank, we work with donor families to provide medically safe tissues for Illinois cornea transplant surgeons, patients and Chicago’s distinguished ocular research institutions.
