Imagine not knowing the color of a sunset...
or what a tree looks like...
Imagine being able to help. Even if you have been diagnosed with cancer
Even if you have received chemotherapy
You can still be an eye donor. You can make a difference. Thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of others around the world suffer from corneal blindness each year. By donating your eye tissue after death, you may contribute in a positive and generous way to restore or improve the sight of these people. All ages benefit from corneal transplantation. Sight restoration makes a tremendous difference in the quality of life to those in need. An eye tissue donation used in transplantation can help two people. An eye tissue donation used in research and teaching helps thousands and can make a difference for generations to come. Sign up on the Nebraska Donor Registry. Go online to: donatelifenebraska.com

You can indicate your wishes when obtaining or renewing your drivers. When you state that you want to be a donor at the DMV, your name is automatically placed on the Nebraska Donor Registry.
