The Utah Lions Eye Bank is located in the John A. Moran Eye Center, one of the top ophthalmic research centers in the world. Millions of Americans suffer from blinding diseases that cannot today be cured. Through the generosity of donors who consent to donate their eyes for research we are rapidly finding new ways to save and restore sight.
Listed below are some of the researchers supported by eye tissue donated to the Utah Lions Eye Bank.
