Summary

Former employees of the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank in Wyoming and Colorado describe a stressful workplace with poor oversight, resulting in mistakes during cornea retrieval and risks for transplant recipients.

Unlike organ donation, tissue donation, including eye banks, faces weaker regulations, raising concerns about safety and transparency.

While tissue donations play a vital role in restoring sight, the lack of oversight and public data makes it harder to ensure quality and safety.

Some employees have since withdrawn their consent to be organ donors after their experiences.
