SightLife Surgical, a for-profit subsidiary of SightLife, has created a medical advisory board comprised of six leading ophthalmologists in order to help the organization focus on medical advancements in corneal therapeutics, according to a press release from the organization.

Led by Chairman Edward Holland, MD, the board will include John Berdahl, MD, Nicole Fram, MD, Terry Kim, MD, Elizabeth Yeu, MD, and Richard L. Lindstrom, MD. They will advise SightLife Surgical’s board of directors and executives on how to better serve corneal surgeons. This board is separate from the medical directors who make decisions about donated tissue.

“We are honored and humbled to bring together such a well-respected group of ophthalmologists to support our mission to eliminate treatable corneal blindness by 2040 by driving innovation in the cornea ecosystem,” Monty Montoya, president and CEO of SightLife Surgical, said in the release.

SightLife Surgical aims to treat preventable corneal blindness, which affects more than 10 million people worldwide, by enabling innovation and access to treatments.
