Islamabad (TDI): The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has successfully concluded 20 free eye treatment camps across Pakistan under the Noor Saudi Volunteer Initiative 2025, providing critical eye care services to thousands of people in need.
Carried out in partnership with Al-Basar International Foundation and Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, the initiative was designed to support underserved and low-income communities with limited access to specialised eye treatment.
The camps offered comprehensive ophthalmic services, including screening, diagnosis, surgical procedures and vision correction.
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.
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.
