Lions Eye Bank is the name of the various eye banks operated by the Lions Save Sight Foundation (LSSF), a not-for-profit foundation within the Lions Clubs International service organisation. The Banks store and prepare donated corneas for transplantation. Corneas may be stored for up to seven days before being given to the ophthalmic surgeon for transplantation. There are over 60 Lions Eye Banks around the world, supported as ongoing projects by Lions service clubs.[1] Australia
The Western Australian Lions Eye Bank was established in 1986 and is housed at the Lions Eye Institute in Perth, Western Australia.[2] It is the only facility of its kind in Western Australia, and coordinates the collection, processing and distribution of eye tissue for transplantation. The Bank also maintains a waitlist of patients who require corneal graft operations. About 100 corneas are provided by the Bank for transplant each year. Corneal transplants have a high rate of success, but Western Australia has a shortage of donated human eye tissue.
The Lions NSW Eye Bank provides over 350 grafts to the people of NSW each year.[3] Germany
The Lions Eye Bank NRW was established in 1995 and is part of the Universitäts-Augenklinik Düsseldorf.
