Michael Kaytor: SightLife Cornea Recipient

Michael Kaytor, a Vietnam War veteran, was living with constant pain in his eye due to a problem with an eye surgery. His vision was greatly impaired and that, coupled with the discomfort, was making Michael suffer on a daily basis.

Now, thanks to his corneal transplant, he has found relief and can see clearly. He sees the gift of sight as a "true blessing" and says, "I smile every day and look forward to all of my blessings." In a letter to his donor family, he continued, "I am over another hurdle in life and healing every day, and words can't express my gratitude for the gift of my sight and being out of pain. Thank you so very much. May you be comforted in your time of loss knowing that you have given a wonderful gift and enriched my life."
