SANDER DUBOVY, MD RECOGNIZED AT DONOR NEXT DOOR AWARDS LUNCHEON

Beauty of Sight Foundation was proud to honor Dr. Sander R. Dubovy at the Philanthropy Miami Donor Next Door Luncheon held on December 7th.

Dr. Dubovy also dedicates much of his time to advancing ophthalmic research and expanding knowledge of current ocular diseases. Join us in celebrating our #1 volunteer, Dr. Sander R. Dubovy!

UPCOMING DMEK DIABETES STUDY

Florida Lions Eye Bank is proud to be a participating site of the Diabetic Endothelial Keratoplasty Study. This nationwide multicenter study will investigate the role that diabetic donor tissue plays in the graft success of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery. With diabetes rising in the United States, this study will help eye banks and ophthalmologists develop relevant guidelines for donor eligibility. We look forward to sharing the future results of this groundbreaking research.
