Eversight staff highly efficient, tolerant, professional, courteous, patient and full of many more qualities. I don't have more words to admire them more appropriately though.

I am a corneal transplant recipient who is so grateful. I am a retired RN and never thought I would need this kind of gift. Blessings to the donors family. I am having my other eye done early 2024. So exciting to see again. I have Fuchs and was slowly going blind.

My husband passed away 3 years ago. He chose to be a donor and I chose to as well.What many people don't realize is that you can easily become a donor in just a minute while renewing your drivers license. So many families might not be aware of their loved ones choice until they pass.I was so happy that my husband was able to help someone else who needed a donor. Eversight was nothing but kind in my eyes. And someone else can now see through my husbands eyes. What a blessing!!

My mom passed March 24th 2023. She wished to donate her eyes. We, as her children granted her wish. My family has Grey eyes and I hope to one day look into her eyes again. To the person who received her eyes I hope you see the beauty that she did with those beautiful Grey eyes.

They called the day my Hubby passed. Told me he had volunteered to donate his eyes. When I refused she said "don't you want to honor his death by fulanis wishes". How insensitive and rude. Shame on you!

Have to give a star to post.. Obviously, you have still been holding bodies. My brother in law passed. When we went to the funeral home and found out his body was not there....Eversight has a hold on the body they said. Umm what?He was not a donor. How dare you put a family through this.How dare you make a family have to make phone calls and get stressed out over having a hold on a loved ones body. How dare you do this to people. I will be looking into this further. This is NOT ok to do to a grieving family.I am a donor but will make sure I change some things.

A dear friend of mine passed today and this organization put a hold on his body so it could not be removed by the funeral home, even though they were told that there would not be a donation. The family is suffering and has to go through calling around to have their loved one’s body released. This is unconscionable - I read the reviews and saw this isn’t the first time this has happened. Shame on you shame shame shame!! Negative stars!

If I could leave negative stars I would.
I understand why time is so important with this whole process and I think the mission of this charity is admirable, however their tactics are nothing short of predatory and coercive.
Within 90 minutes of my wife's mother passing, these people called our home and demanded an answer as to whether or not corneal tissue donation was an option. My wife needed time to follow up with the other members of the family to make sure whatever answer she gave would be an appropriate response. She asked for a number at which she could contact these people to give them that answer and she was told they could not give her one.
Later in the day while beginning to make funeral arrangements, the funeral home informed us that our loved one's body was not able to be released because this "charity" network had somehow placed a hold on it because they had not received a positive or negative response from their initial request. We were supposed to wait for them to contact us again because as stated earlier they refused to give a call back number.
Once the family eventually calmed down from hearing this devastating news in an already difficult time, the funeral director was kind enough to get us a toll free number with which we could contact this charity. We contacted them and told them that it would be against the decedent's wishes to donate.
The funeral director and Then followed up and contacted the morgue at the hospital to verify that the hold had been lifted and they could properly receive the remains. She was informed that the network did indeed contact the hospital and authorize the release but she was also cited saying to never give out any contact information for the network.
For an organization that should be trying its hardest to understand the great loss that a family has just felt, the entire interaction seems nothing short of insensitive and predatory.
If you were asking people whether or not it is ok for to harvest parts of their loved ones remains you could at least be courteous and certainly should not be allowed to place any kind of hold that supersedes the wishes of the family.
This is indecent.
