Kevin Corcoran // President & CEO // Eye Bank Association of America

“You gave me my life back!” When that’s a phrase consistently uttered by the people you serve, you know you’re doing something wonderful. Today we had the opportunity to speak with Kevin Corcoran of the Eye Bank Association of America – an organization with the mission of restoring sight to people who have lost, or are losing, their vision. While uniting and accrediting all Eye Banks across the U.S., the association has also been helping to set up similar facilities around the world. And no, their offices are not filled with eyeballs in little jars!

Kevin Corcoran is an association executive who has spent most of his career helping to turn around struggling organizations. Now, as the CEO of the Eye Bank Association of America, he’s working to give individuals a second chance at life by restoring their sight.

“The members of the Eye Bank Association of America restore the sight of over 75,000 people each year through corneal transplantation.
