This month, we celebrate the priceless gift of sight and the remarkable individuals and families whose generosity makes that gift possible. Beauty of Sight’s mission is simple but profound: to restore vision, support eye research, and change lives through kindness and innovation. Every eye donor and their loved ones help turn that mission into reality. With your selfless act, the world shines brighter for many whose vision and hope are renewed.

Since 1962, Beauty of Sight has had the privilege of being at the intersection of science and humanity, helping restore sight and supporting breakthroughs that give people a clearer view of life. None of this would be possible without you, our donors, families, physicians, and supporters, who remind us that every day, vision is more than just seeing; it’s living.

This November, we celebrate those who have made sight possible. Together, we are Creating a World Without Blindness.

We observe World Sight Day, a reminder of the amazing gift of vision and our collective goal to eliminate blindness.

Beauty of Sight believes everyone deserves to see the world clearly. Through awareness, accessible eye care, and unwavering compassion, we work each day to eliminate preventable blindness and bring light into more lives.

Let’s protect the beauty of sight and Create a World Without Blindness.

October highlights vision care during World Blindness Awareness Month.
According to the WHO, over 314 million people worldwide have severe visual impairment, including 37 million who are blind, and 80% of blindness is preventable.

Trachoma remains the leading cause of preventable blindness, affecting about 1.9 million people. Another significant, preventable cause is diabetic retinopathy; proper disease management and regular eye exams are crucial. Early screenings and prompt treatment can help prevent vision loss or slow the progression of the disease.

Beauty of Sight's mission is to restore sight and prevent avoidable blindness. We support innovative vision research, improve access to sight-restoring treatments, expand community screenings and education, and promote eye tissue donation and training. We are Creating a World Without Blindness.

Join us: get screened, spread the word, and support our work.

Innovations That Would Revolutionize Ocular Care and the Future of Ophthalmology.

Eye disorders are a significant public health issue, affecting millions worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 2.2 billion people experience vision impairment or blindness, with at least 1 billion of these cases being preventable or treatable. Additionally, the global rate of vision impairment is likely to rise in the coming years due to an aging population and lifestyle-related factors.

Our Story

Founded in 1962, Florida Lions Eye Bank was the first eye bank to open in the state of Florida. A half-century later, we have restored the beauty of sight to over 44,000 cornea transplant recipients, provided about 15,000 scleral and corneal grafts for other surgical uses, supplied more than 33,000 whole eyes to researchers, and examined over 93,000 specimens in our pathology lab. We have been able to make this happen because of our selfless eye donors and their families.
