HLEB Becomes a Vision Share Eye Bank
The Heartland Lions Eye Bank is pleased to announce a new partnership with Vision Share, a non-for-profit consortium of accredited U.S. eye banks. In late August, HLEB became a Vision Share member eye bank, joining the ranks of some of the nation’s largest eye banking organizations. Currently, Vision Share has 17 member eye banks.

Vision Share allows its member eye banks to work together to maximize the distribution of their corneal tissue to corneal surgeons for transplant. The organization can also help place tissue with vision researchers. Additionally, the Vision Share eye bank community is an ideal arena to discuss, provide and share information on new trends and techniques in eye banking and corneal transplant surgery.

The Eye Bank looks forward to the benefits of its new membership. In working together with Vision Share, we hope to extend the reach of our eye banking services and share in a community that offers a wealth of knowledge about our field.
