Vision Share

A highly organized network of Eye Banks located throughout the US that restore sight by providing high quality tissue and excellent service worldwide.

Vision Share eye banks collectively provide more than half of the US donor supply of donor corneas. Vision Share coordinates information from domestic and international eye banks and surgeons to effectively distribute donor corneas to those who are suffering from corneal blindness.

What a remarkable week for Vision Share member eye banks at this year's Eye Bank Association of America Annual Meeting. VisionFirst - Indiana Lions Eye Bank had the honor of serving as the host eye bank for the event.

We were also thrilled to celebrate two outstanding leaders in our network: Eversight's Senior Brand Strategy and Communications Specialist, Caroline Miller, who received the Optics Award, and Chris Hanna, Executive Director of Utah Eye Bank, who was honored with the prestigious Heise Award.

One of the most meaningful moments was seeing current and former colleagues, team members, and friends come together to celebrate these well-deserved achievements.

Congratulations to all of this year's award recipients. We are proud to have these exceptional eye banks as part of the Vision Share network and grateful for their continued contributions to advancing eye banking and restoring sight worldwide.

What happens when innovation, collaboration, and surgeon education come together? Real progress in supporting global sight restoration.

At the Ophthalmological Society of South Africa Congress 2026, Vision Share partnered with National Medical Supplies to host a hands-on KeraNatural® CAIRS wet lab led by Tony Dang, Director of Client Services at Vision Share. Surgeons had the opportunity to gain practical experience in handling KeraNatural® tissue segments and explore new possibilities in keratoconus treatment.

We are grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to meaningful conversations around innovation, education, and global collaboration in corneal care.

Last week, Tony Dang, Director of Client Services at Vision Share supported surgeon education in South Africa on CAIRS using KeraNatural® by co-hosting a wet lab in partnership with National Medical Supplies during the Ophthalmological Society of South Africa Congress.

It was a pleasure connecting with so many ophthalmologists who stopped by to explore the technique and see how it can be integrated into their surgical practice. The level of engagement and thoughtful discussion around Keratoconus treatment with CAIRS was exciting.

At Vision Share, we’re committed to expanding access to surgical education and supporting surgeons worldwide with the tools, training, and resources they need to advance patient care.

Thank you to all the ophthalmologists who took the time to participate and engage with us. Interested in learning more about KeraNatural® or future training opportunities? We’d be happy to connect.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Jonathan Solomon and the team at Solomon Eye - Physicians & Surgeons to learn more about their experience with KeraNatural® and how it’s being used in practice.

These conversations help bridge the gap between innovation and real-world application, so we can better support surgeons and the global effort to restore sight.

Grateful for the opportunity to spend time with leaders like Dr. Solomon, who are advancing patient care every day. Stay tuned for our upcoming interview with Dr. Solomon.
