Blind - Visual Impairment

The Mississippi Lions Eye bank was founded in 1971 with its primary objective being the recovery of corneal tissue for transplantation and/or research. MLEB is funded in part by the Lions Sight Foundation of Mississippi, the major fund raising arm of the Lions Clubs of Mississippi.

MDRS offers programs and services administered through the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation for the Blind (OVRB) that specializes in working with blind and low vision impaired individuals to optimize their opportunities for inclusion into the workforce, community, and home.

We are a 501 (c) 3 statewide non-profit organization and a registered charity with the Mississippi Secretary of State.
