I loved backpacking around the world for two years, I could never have done that without the transplants. I also love that I know what my children look like.

Chloe - cornea recipient, VIC

Before my fist cornea transplant, I only saw white. There was just no vision at all from my right eye. Now I can see colour and outlines and I had none of that before. That’s a significant difference for me.

Thanks to the decisions of both my donors, and their families who honoured their decisions, I’m able to get on with my life and embrace the many interests I had before
