Pakistan

  • Pakistan has one of the highest blindness rates for children in the world, and yet there is no government funding for cataract surgery. Consequently, nonprofits carry the entire burden of assisting needy patients. 

    Our School Eye Screening Program, SightBuddies, should be widespread in the next few years.

  • CharityVision founded a hospital in Mansehra, Pakistan that performs 3,000 cataract surgeries each year. We also partner with other ophthalmologists who perform screenings in remote villages.

    • Saeed Education and Health Trust

    • Mehboob CharityVision Eye Hospital
