Before surgery, Walter was legally blind. Daily tasks became obstacles—pouring a glass of water, navigating stairs, even leaving his home. His doctoral studies were put on hold, and his independence felt just out of reach. But then came the gift of sight in 2010. Since then, Walter could once again drive, read and live fully. The cornea transplant restored not just his vision, but the possibility to return to his life. Discover his story in : https://eversight.ws/3ZaHfxL. 🧡

For Walter McDermott, restored vision is both a gift and a responsibility. A cornea transplant recipient and member of Eversight’s New Jersey Advisory Board, Walter knows firsthand how eye donation transforms lives. After decades of vision loss and a sight-threatening infection left him legally blind, a generous donor made it possible for him to regain his independence—and inspired his lifelong advocacy for the gift of sight.

When Teresita first noticed her vision declining, she didn’t yet understand how drastically her world would change. Within two years, Fuchs' dystrophy clouded her daily life—making simple tasks feel impossible. For an educator who spent her life surrounded by books, ideas and students, losing her vision felt like losing part of herself. But even as her vision dimmed, her determination did not.

Doreen has helped tens of thousands of corneas find their homes—whether restoring sight through transplantation or supporting critical research that expands what’s possible—but direct donations leave a special mark.

A direct donation occurs when a donor’s family requests the corneal tissue from their loved one go to a relative in need—a rare, delicate process requiring precise timing, surgeon availability, preoperative testing and more. When everything aligns, it’s extraordinary.

“As we connect with eye bank leaders around the world, our goal isn’t just to share skills—it’s to build sustainable systems of care,” said Heather Nuskind, EdD, Global Development & Surgical Innovations Director, Eversight. “When one surgeon gains the tools to restore sight for hundreds of people, the impact reaches far beyond one community. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.”

By equipping local clinicians and eye bank personnel with new tools and knowledge, this collaboration helps advance sustainable improvements in access to sight-restoring care in Kumamoto, Japan.

Together with partners like UPMC, Eversight is building a world where everyone, everywhere, can access the gift of sight: https://eversight.ws/4pzBghL.
