The new brand honors two legacies while building a shared future for restoring sight

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. & CLEMMONS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Advancing Sight Network and Miracles In Sight today announced Precision Ocular Network as the new name and brand of their combined organization, following the merger unveiled in November. The new identity marks a shared vision for the future focused on compassionate eye banking services, innovative research, and intentional collaboration.

Globally, at least 253 million people live with blindness and/or moderate to severe visual impairment, while approximately 90% of the vision loss in the world is preventable or treatable. As separate organizations, Miracles In Sight (MIS) and Advancing Sight Network (ASN) built rich and distinct legacies, each dedicated to the mission of sight restoration. Together as Precision Ocular Network (PON), the merged organization is committed to going beyond traditional eye banking, to embrace research, cellular therapeutics, and clinical trials.

“Precision Ocular Network represents the future we envisioned when we chose to come together,” said Ingrid Schunder, Co-CEO of Precision Ocular Network. “By uniting our teams, expertise, and legacies under one shared identity, we are better positioned to support donors, clinicians, and partners, as well as give more people the opportunity to experience the miracle of sight.”

Precision Ocular Network will advance its mission through:

Trust: Accuracy and efficiency are critical to ensure our partners receive the tissue they need, exactly when they need it.

Collaboration: We represent a collaborative network working together to help restore sight to as many people as possible around the world.

Research and Innovation: We are committed to helping expand ocular research beyond corneal issues – including research that aims to find more effective treatments or cures for blinding diseases and research related to retinal vision loss.

“The launch of Precision Ocular Network marks an exciting new chapter for our organizations and in vision restoration,” said Alan Blake, Co-CEO of Precision Ocular Network. “Together, we bring a depth of experience, innovation and collaboration that allows us to have a greater impact on advancing sight and expand what’s possible in ocular donation, transplantation and research now and in the future.”
