“In all of Guatemala, there may be five corneas available at a time,” said Dr. Lilyan Leon Nieto. “Every hospital has a waiting list, and the wait can take more than 10 months. If a patient gets sick while waiting, they lose their chance.”

By contrast, in the United States there is no waiting list for cornea transplants. Domestic demand is consistently met, allowing donated tissue to be shared with patients in need around the world—including those in countries like Guatemala where the shortage is critical.

That’s why the arrival of 10 corneal tissues from Eversight was so significant. With the support of Dr. Bouchard and coordination between Eversight and Visualiza, more patients were able to access care—at no cost.

In May 2025, Eversight supported a second medical service trip to Guatemala City, delivering another 10 sight-restoring cornea transplants—bringing the total to 20 surgeries across both visits. For many patients, the difference is life-changing—some hadn’t seen light in months, now they can work to support their families again.

One of the challenges Caitlin faces in her work is changing how people view research tissue.

“A common misconception is that research tissue might not be as important as transplant tissue. That’s really not true,” she said. “The impact a research donation can make is tremendous. One tissue can provide multiple different research purposes.”

In fact, many donations are recovered specifically for research projects—not as a secondary use after transplant. In 2024 alone, Eversight facilitated 4,723 donated eye tissues for research, education and clinical training—opening new frontiers and paving the way for future breakthroughs in preventing, treating and curing blinding eye conditions.
