Actress/singer Vanessa Williams is spearheading a new campaign to encourage people to donate their eyes when they die - as a tribute to her father.

The former Miss America has teamed up with New York's Eye-Bank in a bid to expose the desperate shortage of eyes that medics need to help those struggling with sight issues. The Ugly Betty star became a supporter of the organization when her late father donated his eyes to help someone else see after his death in 2007.

She says, "When he passed away two years ago, he gave the gift of sight... See what your eyes can do for others."
