The North Carolina Eye Bank ^Company

The history of Miracles In Sight has at its roots the emergence of corneal transplant surgery in eastern Europe in the first half of the 20th century. In 1951, a team of visionaries in North Carolina saw the possibilities in this revolutionary procedure and organized to lobby the state legislature for the establishment of The North Carolina Eye & Human Tissue Bank. This organization evolved to become The North Carolina Eye Bank in 1996, the fifth eye bank established in the United States. In 2014, the organization changed its name to Miracles In Sight to reflect the broader role it was playing in helping to restore sight through corneal transplantation.
