The Lions Eye Bank for Long Island
The Lions Eye Bank for Long Island, a not-for-profit eye bank, was established at North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, New York in 1986 with the help of our local Lions Clubs. This locally-based Eye Bank has as its chief purpose to serve the needs of Long Island and the surrounding communities by providing superior quality ocular tissue for corneal and scleral transplantation surgery. We also provide this tissue for the use of education and research programs throughout the U.S.A. . This effort is supported enthusiastically by the many thousand members of the Lions Clubs of Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens. We are a three year fully accredited member of the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA).
