Baton Rouge Regional Eye Bank

November is Eye Donation Month! 👁️💙

This month, we honor the generous donors and donor families who make the gift of sight possible, celebrate the recipients whose lives have been changed through corneal transplantation, and raise awareness about the importance of eye donation.

One donor can help restore sight to two people, creating a legacy that allows others to see the beauty in the world around them.

Throughout November, we’ll be sharing stories, facts, and ways you can help spread the word about the gift of sight.

See the difference. Share the hope. Give the gift of sight. 💙
