Vision Share to Distribute KeraNatural® & halo® in Select Global Markets

CHICAGO - June 16, 2025 - PRLog -- Vision Share, the world's largest network of eye banks, is proud to announce its partnership with VisionGift to be an exclusive international distributor of KeraNatural® and halo® products in Algeria, Costa Rica, Israel, Morocco, Peru, South Africa, and Tunisia. In addition Vision Share will also support access in Argentina, Canada and Switzerland. This strategic partnership will increase global access to two innovative solutions in corneal care.

VisionGift, a recognized leader in corneal tissue innovation, developed KeraNatural® as a biocompatible, donor-derived stromal arc or ring used in the treatment of keratoconus. Designed to naturally reshape the cornea and improve vision, KeraNatural® offers a compelling alternative to synthetic implants, supporting better patient outcomes through natural integration and reduced surgical risk.

Halo®, another groundbreaking offering, provides clear, sterile, pre-packaged corneal, sclera, and pericardium tissue for several ocular procedures. Unlike traditional opaque grafts, halo sterile tissue remains transparent, supporting easier post-operative assessment and better cosmetic results.

"Our mission has always been to provide ocular tissue with exceptional service and support global sight restoration", said Phil Fasone, Executive Director at Vision Share. "This partnership allows us to offer thoughtfully designed, innovative, donor-derived solutions that give surgeons more options in corneal care."

"This partnership reflects our shared belief that innovation should be accessible. By aligning with Vision Share's international reach, we're making it easier for surgeons around the world to offer their patients high quality, donor derived solutions that honor the gift of donation and advance the standard of care." — Corrina Patzer, Chief Strategy Officer, VisionGift.

At VisionGift, we're driven by the belief that every donation deserves to reach its highest potential. By partnering with Vision Share, we're ensuring that the generosity of donors extends even farther by bringing innovative, sight restoring solutions like KeraNatural® and halo® to patients across the globe. This collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver meaningful impact, one cornea at a time." — Chris Stoeger, Chief Executive Officer, VisionGift.

The addition of KeraNatural® and halo® to Vision Share's portfolio reflects a shared commitment between Vision Share and VisionGift to expand access to safe, effective, and ethically sourced transplant options. This partnership will streamline ordering and distribution while ensuring that surgical teams have timely access to specialized tissue when they need it.
