About Us

Founded in 1969, SightLife is a non-profit global health organization focused on eliminating corneal blindness, 98% of which is in developing countries. Our efforts focus on activating awareness and prevention, building transplant capability, and improving patient outcomes. 

In the US, our domestic eye bank operations focus on tissue recovery facilitation that educates and counsels grieving families and works closely with hospitals and other donation partners to offer as many families as possible the opportunity to give the gift of sight. 

Globally, we provide grants, training, certification and consulting, free of charge, in the areas of policy & advocacy, awareness, prevention, partnerships, eye banking, surgeon training and follow up care. Our goal is to create sustainable ecosystems that ensure no one must wait for a sight restoring surgery. 

Our Values 

In pursuit of our mission, our work is guided by five core values: 

Quality: We continuously pursue the highest standards in our programs, people, and service. 

Integrity: We continuously pursue the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, and honesty. 

Passion: We are driven by a genuine commitment to our mission and those we serve. 

Innovation: We embrace and encourage creative and entrepreneurial solutions to sight challenges. 

Responsibility: We strive to provide a social and humanitarian benefit to donors, donor families, recipients, each other and those who partner with us.
