November is Eye Donation Month. Here are some quick facts how being an eye donor helps others.
• There are three eye banks in Louisiana that recover and provide transplantable tissue to
Louisiana’s citizens.
• Last year, through cornea donation from fellow Louisiana residents, our eye banks provided nearly 1000 corneas for transplantation to help fellow Louisianians and patients around the world, regain their sight.
• Almost anyone can be a cornea donor, regardless of vision, age, or past ocular health issues such as cataracts or laser vision correction.
• The transplants performed each year increase their recipients’ productivity and reduce their healthcare costs, contributing $6 billion in benefits to the US healthcare system.
Memorial Medical Group on Aster Street is open. Let Memorial take care if you. #SafeOpenHereForYou
