The April 23 Iowa Lions Eye Bank tour is currently full. Please consider attending a different event or click the sign-up link below to join the waitlist – spots may come open.

Iowa Lions Eye Bank (ILEB), part of the UI Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, is the only eye bank in the state of Iowa and supports all 99 counties.

ILEB visitors are invited to learn how eye bank staff recover, evaluate, process, and distribute ocular tissue donated by generous individuals for use in corneal transplantation, research, and education at the University of Iowa and throughout the world. Guests will also learn how Iowa Lions Eye Bank honors donors and their loved ones for the gift of sight, provides outreach and education to the public, engages in cutting-edge research to revolutionize our understanding and treatment of eye disease, and improves eye banking practices.

In accordance with regulatory and safety practices, all visitors are required to wear covered toe shoes and have no exposed skin on the shoulders or below the waist. However, if you forget, ILEB has scrubs and foot covers available to borrow for the duration of the tour.
