Madison and Malia are twin girls who were born with glaucoma, a blinding eye condition. Cornea transplants offered them the gift of sight, thanks to the generosity of eye donors. The girls wrote and illustrated the book, "The Blind Porcupine", based on their experiences.
Please take a moment to watch our PSA, featuring the girls reading their book.
The Michigan Eye-Bank is a division of Midwest Eye-Banks, a charitable, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of sight. We recover, evaluate and distribute human eye tissue for transplantation.
As part of our mission, we support preliminary research into the causes and cures of blinding eye conditions. Through public and professional education programs, we encourage people to learn about eye, organ and tissue donation. We believe education is the key to making an informed decision about donation, and is also an important way for us to secure funding for the community services we provide.
We also provide humanitarian aid to those unable to afford transplantation procedures, both at home and abroad, by waiving our service fees when a charitable need exists.
