Eye Donation Month

As Johnny Nash said, I Can See Clearly Now, eye tissue transplant recipients, donor families and champions of eye donation are changed by their connections to the cause. In November, we celebrate the transformative power of eye tissue donation and transplantation!

Eye Donation Month is observed every November across the United States in partnership with the Eye Bank Association of America. In Colorado and Wyoming, the staff at the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank is celebrating region-wide, sharing the purpose of Eye Donation Month, which is to:

  • Raise Awareness about cornea donation and transplantation
  • Honor the gift of sight given by selfless donors and their families
  • Celebrate eye tissue transplant recipients living their fullest lives, thanks to the generosity of eye tissue donors
  • Educate about eye donation and encourage individuals to register as eye donors

Celebrate With Us!

Printed Materials

Print and download materials to display at home or work to remind others of the importance of eye, organ and tissue donation. Everyone can enjoy these fun and bright materials!

Information

Print the handout with facts, data and FAQs. Learn how you can help. This resource is a great tool for presentations or local community talks. Have coffee with friends and tell them about your donation decision and share how donation impacts your community with these facts. Did you know that just one cornea donor can restore sight in two others?

Consider using your driver license or state ID as a tool to start the donation conversation. Showing the heart symbol on your license and sharing what it means and why you signed up can help empower your neighbors to talk about donation within our communities.

Social Media

Share these graphics on your social media pages as a way to start the donation conversation with your loved ones. Talking about your donation decision with your friends and family is important. And remember to be thankful for restored sight this November!
