ISLAMABAD: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has successfully concluded a series of 20 comprehensive free eye treatment camps across Pakistan under the Noor Saudi Volunteer Initiative 2025.
Implemented in collaboration with Al-Basar International Foundation and Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, the initiative aimed to deliver essential ophthalmic services to underserved and vulnerable communities, particularly those facing financial constraints or limited access to specialized eye care.
The eye camps were strategically organized across urban and remote areas of Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, ensuring broad geographic coverage and equitable access.
The initiative focused on early screening, diagnosis, surgical intervention, and vision correction to address preventable and treatable eye conditions and to enhance overall quality of life.
During the course of implementation, a total of 79,161 patients benefited from outpatient consultations and eye screenings.
Of these, 8,085 sight-restoring surgeries, including cataract and other vision-impairing procedures, were successfully performed by qualified ophthalmic specialists. In addition, 20,096 corrective eyeglasses were distributed free of cost, along with essential prescribed medications provided on-site.
The camps reached thousands of beneficiaries across multiple districts, prioritizing areas with limited ophthalmologic services and high unmet needs.
Through these targeted interventions, KSrelief ensured timely and life-changing eye care for individuals who otherwise would not have been able to afford or access such services.
