I can see the life ahead of me because of a transplant

The community-based Doheny Eye & Tissue Transplant Bank has become a pioneer and leader in providing eye and tissue banking services to patients, surgeons and hospitals in southern California for more than 40 years.

The mission of the Doheny Eye & Tissue Transplant Bank is to relieve human suffering by providing human tissue for transplant, research, and medical education in our community and around the world.

The non-profit, non-governmental Doheny Eye & Tissue Bank is a member of the TBI/Tissue Banks International non-profit network of vision and certified by Eye Bank Association of America.

Each person who chooses to become an eye and tissue donor can help more than a dozen people through their gift:

• Sight is restored with a cornea;
• Mobility is enabled with a ligament;
• Pain is eased with a spinal implant made of bone;
• Burns are treated with skin;
• Lives saved with heart valves.
