Eye Bank Started In South America
A Buffalo model eye bank and research society inspired a new eye bank in Porto Alegre Brazil. Located in a city of about 500000, the facility stems from local officials and an ophthalmologist and is believed to be the first of its kind in South America. Rudolph Spitzer, executive director of the Buffalo bank, said guidance for Brazil came largely from the Buffalo organization.

The Porto Alegre agency will be supported by the Lions and Spitzer notes plans to open a research department like Buffalo society in cooperation with the University of Buffalo. Both groups aid the blind through cornea transplant surgery and may use barnstorming or whistlestopping to promote the effort, in a style akin to Eisenhower’s Iowa tour.
