The Idaho Lions Eye Bank recovered eyes from 215 humanitarian individuals in Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The Eye Bank processed 293 corneas for transplant surgeries in Idaho, the United States and the world to individuals afflicted with blindness. Thank you to our donors and their families, Yes Idaho Coalition, and our Technical Director, Edwin Marshall, his staff of seven and 70 contractors who exemplify a passion for sight restoration. The future of eye banking will remain strong in Idaho. The “Yes Idaho” coalition will be hiring three part time individuals to promote organ, eye, and tissue awareness in the state and the coalition office will be housed at the Lions Foundation on Cole road in Boise. Executive Director, Jay Lugo, was elected to the Board of Directors for the Eye Bank Association of America based out of Washington D.C. The two year term started July 1. It is the first time in the 50 year history of the Association that someone from Idaho has sat on this influential board that shapes the eye banking industry around the world.
