The Eye Bank of Kentucky

At the Eye Bank of Kentucky (EBKY), we believe the gift of sight belongs to everyone. For the last 8 years, we’ve worked as an independent non-profit to honor the generosity of donors and their families by restoring vision through corneal transplantation, advancing education, and supporting research that changes lives.

We are proud to be the honored stewards of these gifts, guided by our commitment to tissue Quality, tissue Safety, and positive patient Outcomes (QSO). Every donation begins with trust—whether through an individual’s decision to be a donor or a family’s consent—and we uphold that trust with the highest standards of care.

What sets EBKY apart is our community of hope—donor families, transplant recipients, physicians, researchers, and supporters—coming together to transform loss into new beginnings. Every cornea recovered, every transplant performed, and every story shared strengthens the connections that unite us in the mission to give sight.

Thanks to supporters like you, we are able to provide access to sight-restoring transplants, expand education for medical professionals, and advance innovative research. Your gift of any amount sustains our mission, supports our facilities, equips our staff, and most importantly, helps us continue giving the gift of sight.

Thank you for supporting the Eye Bank of Kentucky and ensuring the legacy of sight continues to inspire, restore, and thrive across our communities.
