In our ongoing efforts to combat blindness in the Thar region, we organized a free eye camp at Mai Kadija Hospital on July 16th. Our partner agency for the camp was Al Abbas Education Society, led by Pir Abdul Ruab Chisti. During the camp, we examined and treated over 250 patients, performing 21 cataract surgeries free of charge. Enjoy the photos of the camp below.

Eye camps play a crucial role in reducing the burden of blindness, especially in regions like Thar where the prevalence of visual impairments is already high. By providing accessible and free eye care services, these camps ensure that individuals who might otherwise go untreated due to financial constraints or lack of awareness can receive timely diagnosis, treatment, and even surgeries. This proactive approach not only improves the quality of life for affected individuals but also contributes significantly to preventing avoidable blindness.
