Peshawar, Pakistan – 30 November 2024

In a commendable effort to promote eye health and provide essential care to underserved communities, the Khyber Eye Foundation successfully organized a free eye camp at Mali Khel village on Kohat Road, Peshawar. The initiative aimed to bring accessible and quality eye care to the residents of the area, reflecting the Foundation’s commitment to community service and health improvement.

The camp witnessed an impressive turnout, with a total of 104 patients screened for various eye-related conditions. Among them, 89 patients received free medication, and 67 were provided with near glasses at no cost. These contributions were vital for addressing immediate needs and improving the vision and quality of life of the beneficiaries.

Furthermore, 21 patients were referred to the Khyber Eye Foundation for a detailed eye check-up to address more complex conditions requiring advanced diagnostic and treatment facilities. This follow-up ensures that those with critical needs receive timely and comprehensive care.

Speaking about the initiative, a spokesperson for the Khyber Eye Foundation said:
“Our mission is to eradicate preventable blindness and improve eye health, particularly for communities with limited access to healthcare facilities. This eye camp is a testament to our ongoing dedication to serving those in need and raising awareness about eye care.”

The free eye camp was met with gratitude and enthusiasm from the local community. Many residents expressed their appreciation for the Foundation’s efforts in bringing essential health services directly to their doorstep.

The Khyber Eye Foundation plans to continue its outreach programs in the coming months, targeting more remote areas to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the gift of sight.
