Free Eye Camp at Dalazak Road Dispensary: A Lifeline for the Community

On 9 March 2024, the Khyber Eye Foundation hosted a free eye camp at the Dalazak Road Dispensary in Peshawar, reaffirming its commitment to eye health in the community. The event was a resounding success, drawing 184 people to its Outpatient Department (OPD).

The camp saw a diverse turnout, with 51 adult males and 115 adult females taking advantage of the free services. Including children was also notable, with 7 male and 11 female young patients attending the camp. This comprehensive demographic engagement highlighted the foundation’s dedication to providing eye care across all ages and genders.

One of the key highlights of the camp was the distribution of free eyeglasses to 99 individuals, ensuring that those in need had access to essential vision correction. In addition to eyeglasses, the camp also distributed 153 units of free medicines, addressing various eye-related ailments and contributing to the overall health and well-being of the attendees.

Furthermore, the camp identified 34 patients suffering from cataracts, a common yet potentially debilitating condition. These patients were referred to the Khyber Eye Foundation for further treatment, ensuring they received the necessary care and intervention to restore their vision.

The eye camp at Dalazak Road Dispensary stands as a testament to the Khyber Eye Foundation’s ongoing efforts to enhance eye health and prevent vision impairment in the community. Through such initiatives, the foundation continues to significantly impact the quality of life for many individuals and their families.
