Surgeons

Your single-source, nonprofit eye bank


The Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank is recognized the world over for its expertise and leadership in eye banking. In any language, RMLEB means service, quality and compassion. As one of the world's largest eye banks, surgeons may schedule transplants in advance without worry of appropriate tissue being available on the day of surgery — and without the need for importing tissue from other eye banks. Rest assured your surgical tissue is in our expert hands from donor recovery to delivery to your surgery center.

Our state-of-the-art eye banking facility meets European Union Grade A controlled environment standards for eye tissue processing, the world's toughest standard.

In addition, RMLEB offers:

  • Reasonable processing fees. Part of our nonprofit mission is a dedication to being good stewards of our resources while maintaining our place as a world leader in eye banking. Shipping in the US is included in all our processing fees. 
  • Ability to securely schedule and manage your patients directly in our distribution calendar.  You can also manage users within your office. 
  • A single source for all tissues. With 70% of Coloradans and 60% of Wyomingites registered as donors, RMLEB has eliminated the need to import tissues from other eye banks. Every cornea meets our high standards because it is in our hands from donor recovery to delivery to your surgery center.
  • Personal attention to your tissue preferences.
  • World-wide experience and leadership in eye banking. We have provided corneas to surgeons across the country and around the world.

High-quality, full-service eye banking at reasonable fees

  • Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP):  Full-thickness corneas based on your tissue criteria. 

  • Endothelial Keratoplasties:

    • DSEK/DSAEK: Standard grafts (>100 μm) or our Ultra-thin grafts (40 μm - 90 μm). 

    • Neusidil Corneal Inserter: RMLEB is an exclusive provider of the NCI corneal inserter, whose advantages include a spatula and inserter in one device. The donor tissue is folded without overlap so endothelial cells never come into contact with each other or the instrument. Eliminates the need for viscoelastic. Read more.

  • Keratolimbal Allografts (KLA): Recovered using special techniques specifically for your patient.
