in 1925 Helen Keller spoke to Lions Clubs International and challenged them to become Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness more than 80 years later her words still inspired the members of the Minnesota Lions vision foundation and the organization they started the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank at the University of Minnesota together their mission is vision working with cornea surgeons and researchers the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank helps restore vision through I donations for cornea and I tissue transplants research and medical education developments and breakthrough innovations in corneal tissue preparation and surgeries make this a critical time of advancement in I banking and corneal transplantation I banks are the link among I donations surgeons and researchers ibanks recover prepare and provide corneas for transplant and provide I tissue for research leading to treatments and cures as a result lives are transformed I bank innovations are absolutely transforming lives there are new techniques that have been used just in the last few years that are allowing more people to be recipients of new types of cornea transplants they have lower risks and potentially better visual outcomes Lions Clubs International is the largest service organization in the world with members in more than 200 countries in 1959 a Minnesota lion club member George Dugan noted people in need of corneal transplants had to travel to other states for surgery lion George approached the department of ophthalmology at the University of Minnesota and a year later in nineteen sixty the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank opened corneal transplantation used to be similar to current day organ transplantation as a donor cornea would have to be transplanted within a few hours of the donors death but in 1972 the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank helped develop a preservation solution now used throughout the world which preserves a donated cornea for up to two weeks this allows corneal transplants to be performed as scheduled surgeries I tissue is recovered by trained technicians and then prepared at an ibank and delivered for surgery it's important to preserve corneal tissue because in the past that was not available in patients had to be available 24 hours a day may be called in the middle of the night for a corneal transplant and the tissue could not be stored at all it had to be used fresh now because of corneal preservation the tissue basically can be stored and the patients can schedule their corneal transplantation or the tissue can be sent to other places around the United States which require tissue since it opened the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank has provided more than 25,000 corneas for transplant and 22,000 eyes for research and medical education its focus is in three major areas medically evaluating and distributing donor I tissue for corneal transplants educating the public especially to raise awareness of the need for and benefits of eye donation and research an advancement of the science and technology in treating I diseases and injuries by providing donor I tissue the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank helps professionals learn more about I conditions including macular degeneration diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma the ibanks recovery technicians are available twenty-four-seven every day to go to hospitals and other locations to recover donor I tissue the eye bank is accredited by the iBank Association of America that sets medical accreditation and certification standards for eye donation the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank and organ and tissue organizations work together to provide education about donation as well as support decisions of individuals who have legally documented their personal choice to be donors can you tell me was there any blood loss at the time of death what's typically transplanted is the corneas did this song donor have any I history such as glaucoma take about 45 minutes or an hour so once the once the pro camera tech gets to the facility will contact the family will get some information from them and see what their idea is about donation a decision to be a donor may be listed on a driver's license or state ID card in a health care directive or an online donation registry I know that you said your mom was really proud to be a donor she would be so very proud of you and all that you've given of yourself and in her name for the iBank and its mission this was a good gift it was valuable it's important to let family members know of your desire to be an eye donor they'll be reassured that they're carrying out your wishes and also they'll be able to provide the medical information necessary for donation scientific knowledge is rapidly evolving improving access to corneal transplants yet many countries find economic cultural and governmental challenges impact the opportunity for transplants health care reform may change the way I banks meet the needs of surgeons and researchers the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank is a leader in unifying the I banking community through its international journal of I banking an open access peer reviewed online journal created to advance I banking worldwide by sharing best practices and innovations with ibanks surgeons researchers and others engaged in restoring site almost anyone can be an eye donor poor vision most cancers or medical conditions may not prevent someone from donating providing tissue for corneal transplant surgery or research that could benefit thousands across the world I was a college graduate as a engineering technician and he was becoming harder and harder to try to read the specs I was designing to and to see the plans I was drawing on I saw shadows I started out with very good vision as a child and as a teenager and as a young adult and then I entered a period of time where over about three or four years every time I went in for a check-up my vision was getting worse I've always been an outgoing person type-a personality and I found myself not wanting to go anywhere not to socialize with friends I think the hardest part was I was afraid that I would lose my vision in the other eye and would be blind totally after the transplant and now with restored vision my life is so greatly enhanced I think about now even more what I couldn't do and what I can do now I looked out the windows of the hop of my hospital room and I could see trees with leaves and I don't remember the last time I remember seeing leaves in the wind the challenge facing the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank is to advance research and innovation and to unite I banks throughout the world we have increased regulation for ibanks we have new fast innovations that are coming and then of course we have health care reform just around the corner and we don't quite know what that means so I banks are going to have to stay connected here and learn about new information that they're going to have to understand quickly and adapt their business practices and build relationships in order to be successful site is one of our most cherished senses and improving or restoring someone site is nothing short of miraculous it can empower an individual to embrace life once again when I think about the gift that I've received it touches me um greatly I I can I want to thank that family in fact they do think that family and donor every day as I'm driving as I'm seeing bright colors I am so thankful and grateful that somebody had to make the decision to have their loved one be an eye donor because if they had not been a donor I would not have had the gift of someone's cornea the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank is at the forefront of the crusade to help people see again by providing cornea and other eye tissue for transplant research and education they are changing lives on a daily basis what they are achieving every day is clearly visionary more than 40,000 people in the United States need a corneal transplant each year to learn more about the
