The Italian Society of Eye Banks

The Association is non-profit, apolitical, non-partisan, and non-denominational. Its mission is to contribute to the dissemination and improvement of the quality of corneal transplantation and the treatment of ocular diseases, through the promotion and development of Eye Banking.

To achieve these objectives, SIBO:

promotes scientific, educational, and cultural activities in the field of Eye Banking (procurement, evaluation, preservation, and distribution of tissues for ocular surgery), including outreach initiatives aimed at practitioners;
promotes the development, dissemination, and implementation of guidelines relating to Eye Banking activities and the establishment and organisation of Eye Banks;
promotes the organisation of courses, congresses, conferences, debates, seminars, and educational, scientific, and research initiatives on Eye Banking, corneal transplantation, corneal diseases, and ocular surface disorders;
establishes connections, collaboration, and scientific and cultural exchange with national and international organisations pursuing similar objectives;
acts as the primary point of reference for the institutions coordinating transplantation activities in Italy (the National Transplant Centre, Regional Transplant Coordination Centres, and Interregional Transplant Coordination Centres);
promotes scientific research aimed at studying and improving Eye Banking techniques and evaluating the outcomes achieved;
puts forward proposals to public and private stakeholders aimed at safeguarding and promoting Eye Banking;
undertakes every appropriate initiative to foster connection and collaboration among Italian Eye Banks.
