Curious about Saving Sight? Here’s more about their incredible story.
Headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., Saving Sight facilitates eye donation in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois, impacting the lives of those near and far through transplantation. Last year alone, approximately ten individuals received the gift of sight each day from the incredible gift of sight given by deceased eye donors in Saving Sight’s service area.
As a co-founder and business partner of Vital Tears, Saving Sight also supports patients nationwide with autologous serum eye drops for ocular surface conditions like severe dry eye. Our innovative process for providing serum tears has expanded access to patients across the U.S. Saving Sight’s team in Kansas City processes each custom-made order of Vital Tears.
Additionally, Saving Sight provides annual grant funding to like-minded nonprofits that share our mission. Recent beneficiaries include KidSight, offering free vision screenings for children in Missouri; the Missouri Lions Eye Mission Foundation, supplying equipment for local and international eyeglass missions; and Mid-South Lions Sight and Hearing Service, helping to cover surgical eye care costs for uninsured and low-income individuals in Missouri.
