Our brand-new processing video series highlights the various ways we transform the gift of sight at LEBWCO. This 4-part video series will showcase DMEK, DSAEK, Preloaded DMEK, and Sclera processing. The first video in our series highlights DMEK processing. A DMEK corneal graft is a partial thickness transplant that replaces the recipient’s Descemet membrane and endothelium with donor tissue. It is one of the most popular forms of cornea transplantation! #DonateSight #LEBWCO

Today we kick off our four-part video series titled Transforming the Gift of Sight. In this series, we will look at the journey an ocular graft takes at LEBWCO to transform it into the gift of sight, being able to heal those who are need of a corneal transplant. For our first video, we are looking at tissue evaluation! Evaluation is a critical step for the gift of sight as it is utilized to make sure that grafts are suitable for transplant through a variety of different factors. Even when a cornea is unable to meet surgical transplant standards, it can still be utilized for research, where it goes to help advance sight restoration through new technologies.?Donating corneas for research has the potential to help countless more lives receive enhanced vision through the gift of sight. #LEBWCO #DonateSight
