Khyber Eye Foundation Conducts Free Eye Camp at Dalazak Road Dispensary, Peshawar, Benefiting Local Community

Peshawar, January 25, 2025 – In its ongoing commitment to providing quality eye care to underprivileged communities, Khyber Eye Foundation successfully organized a free eye camp at Dalazak Road Dispensary, Peshawar. The initiative was part of the foundation’s broader efforts to ensure early diagnosis, timely treatment, and overall eye health awareness for individuals who may not have access to specialized medical care.

The eye camp saw an overwhelming response from the local community, with a total of 185 patients undergoing thorough eye screenings. A team of skilled medical professionals examined each patient to detect and address a range of vision-related issues. To support immediate treatment, 183 patients received free medicines tailored to their specific eye conditions. Additionally, 109 individuals benefited from the distribution of free near-vision glasses, enabling them to carry out daily tasks with greater ease and confidence.

Understanding that some cases required more in-depth examination and specialized medical attention, 23 patients were referred to Khyber Eye Foundation for further detailed eye checkups. This step ensures that those with complex conditions receive the necessary follow-up care and treatment, preventing potential long-term vision impairment.

Khyber Eye Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to combat preventable blindness and make quality eye care accessible to all. Through such free eye camps, the foundation aims to reach as many people as possible, particularly those residing in areas with limited healthcare facilities. The initiative reflects the organization’s dedication to public service and its belief that vision care should be a fundamental right, not a privilege.

The success of the event would not have been possible without the dedication of the medical team, volunteers, and community members who contributed their time and efforts. Khyber Eye Foundation extends its gratitude to all those involved and looks forward to organizing more such initiatives in the future. By expanding its reach and enhancing eye health services, the foundation continues to make a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals in need.
