RMLEB is a community-based, non-profit eye bank founded in 1982 by the Lions of Colorado and Wyoming. We are regulated by and registered with the Food and Drug Administration and accredited by the Eye Bank Association of America. Our donor recovery service area encompasses all of Colorado and most of Wyoming. Our transplant area is worldwide.
We are a full-service eye bank, meaning that in addition to recovering the donor eye tissue, we bring it to our facility where we prepare tissue grafts according to the needs and criteria of the surgeons we work with. Our tissue distribution starts with local surgeons' needs in Colorado and Wyoming, then expands to national and then international placement. As a result of the high donation rates in our area, we have provided transplant corneas to nearly every state and over 20 countries.
