Eversight

The Eversight Michigan Story:

    Eversight Michigan was founded in 1957 with a man’s dying wish: to donate his eyes so that others may see. That wish united University of Michigan ophthalmologist John W. Henderson, M.D., Ph.D., with Lions Clubs across the state to create a way for people to give the precious gift of sight – and the Michigan Eye-Bank was born.
