Just returning from the annual Eye Bank Association of America's Annual Meeting in Hilton Head. Congratulations to Bruce Varnum, CEO and President of the Georgia Eye Bank, for completing his term as Chair of the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA). While I spend a good proportion of my time doing cataracts and LASIK, I also serve as one of the medical directors to the Georgia Eye Bank and perform a large number of corneal transplants to patients in Tennessee, Georgia, and adjacent states in the southeast. It is truly an honor to work with Bruce and the EBAA, the organization that provides corneas to people all over the country who are blind and need cornea transplants to see. Bruce is a true example of "paying it forward". After receiving cornea transplants at a young age after going blind, he has paid it forward to pave the way for many others to receive sight through the gift of cornea transplantation. Myself and all of Georgia should thank Bruce!! We are very fortunate to have him here in Georgia as the head of OUR eye bank!!
