Formerly known as the Lions Eye Bank of the Delaware Valley, Lions Clubs members from the states of New Jersey, Delaware and southeast Pennsylvania founded the LEBDV in 1957. What was once a volunteer effort has grown into a professional, nonprofit organization. Since 1957, the eye Bank has provided tissue for more than 40,000 individuals who have received the “Gift of Sight” through corneal transplant. Countless others have been helped through medical research and education make possible with tissue recovered by the eye Bank staff.
Mission Statement: AltruVision is committed to enhancing a person’s quality of life by restoring or improving vision through corneal transplantation, medical research and education.
AltruVision is grounded in altruism, authenticity, and diversity. We include and embrace different perspectives that empower, honor, and uphold our commitment to serve others with compassion.
