The Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank had their annual fundraising event on September 24. The Circle of Light event was a tremendous success. Channel 4 New reported on the event. Click here for the broadcast.
The Circle of Light Photo Project is a collection of images photographed by people whose blindness was cured through a cornea or sclera transplant. It aims to show the impact eye, organ and tissue donation has on our communities and hopes to inspire others to leave the legacy of sight and life by becoming eye, organ and tissue donors.
Each of the photos was taken by transplant recipients who benefited from eye donors in Colorado and Wyoming. Some of the photographers had their sight back for only a few months while others had their sight restored a few years ago. In each case, the images in the collection were only possible because of the generosity of an eye donor. At the event, there was a chance to meet the photographers.
