Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin

Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin is a 501(c)(3) that has served Wisconsin for more than 50 years. LEBW's purpose is to support donors and their families during their time of loss, assist with the recovery of corneas for transplant to help improve the lives of the visually impaired and to serve Wisconsin's corneal surgery needs for transplant surgeons throughout the state. Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin volunteers directly support the mission of our organization and provide awareness and education on the impact of donation. They represent Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin, providing support to donor families, transplant recipients, donation partners, healthcare professionals and our community.

Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin (LEBW), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is a team of professionals and volunteers dedicated to the mission of restoring the gift of sight through recovery and transplantation of corneas, research to advance the knowledge and treatment of eye diseases, and education to increase donations of human eyes after death.

Serving the entire state of Wisconsin, LEBW fulfills this mission by procuring, processing and distributing eye tissue to corneal transplant surgeons, researchers and teachers. Equally important is our commitment to education through our network of medical professionals, Lions and Lioness Club members and other volunteers who give generously of their time and resources. LEBW continues its commitment to people who receive transplants and those who will benefit from the research. The ultimate goal of LEBW is to improve people’s quality of life through the gift of sight.
