Beauty of Sight is a fully
EBAA-accredited eye bank. Our primary mission
is to recover, process, and distribute corneal and scleral tissue for sight-saving transplant surgery.
To make this happen, we rely upon the selflessness of individuals and their families who choose to
donate their eyes upon their death.
Beauty of Sight isn’t just an eye bank, though. We also operate the only ocular pathology lab in
South Florida. Our laboratory is a comprehensive resource for tissue evaluation, patient diagnosis,
physician training, and clinical archive.
Additionally, Beauty of Sight is dedicated to furthering ophthalmic research. We annually provide several
hundred thousand dollars in grants to qualified ophthalmic research efforts. We also supply
whole eye tissue for research and physician training.
Since our founding 60 years ago, Beauty of Sight has restored the beauty of sight to over 65,000
cornea transplant recipients. More than 15,000 pieces of the sclera and preserved corneal tissue have been
provided to patients for other surgical uses. Nearly 33,000 whole eyes have been supplied to researchers
at no cost, and 93,000 specimens have been examined in our pathology lab. To date, we have provided over
$3 million in grants to research projects to cure, treat, or prevent eye disease. We are proud
to have made a difference in our South Florida community and beyond.
