How true that
sentiment is in
our ever-evolving
world of donation, transplantation
and research.
But change is the reason we are
able to restore sight to thousands
of people each year in our
community and around the globe.
Since the first cornea transplant
more than a century ago, our
world has been shaped by
innovations and discoveries that
bring new treatments to light –
all made possible by the countless
individuals who refuse to let
blindness prevail.
In this issue of Vision, you will
read how Eversight and our
partners are working together
to change the future of sight
by advancing knowledge and
treatments in powerful ways.
And just as technology and
medicine are evolving, so is our
mission. We have learned that the
interconnectedness of donation,
transplantation and research is a
healing force – one that reaches
beyond the gift of sight and brings
comfort, hope and inspiration to
people when they need it most.
I am excited to introduce to you
our new mission statement, which
celebrates the importance of
everything we do: Restoring sight
and preventing blindness through
the healing power of donation,
transplantation and research.
I invite you to join Eversight Ohio
in making vision a reality in new
and exciting ways by engaging in
our healing mission.
