About Midwest Eye-Banks
Midwest Eye-Banks is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of sight. Through our locations in Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey, we recover, evaluate and distribute human eye tissue for transplantation. As part of our mission, we support preliminary research into the causes and cures of blinding eye conditions. Through public and professional education programs, we encourage people to learn about eye, organ and tissue donation. We also provide humanitarian aid to those unable to afford transplantation procedures, both at home and abroad, by waiving our tissue processing fees when a charitable need exists.
