Importance of
Eyes:
Eyes are the most valuable gift
of Allah Almighty and are an
important and beautiful organ of
our body. They make us observe
surroundings around us. In
Pakistan where general state of
health is getting deteriorated by
the day, the diseases of eyes are
also increasing there.
Environmental pollution is the
chief reason of this malaise.
There are around 6 million blind
people in the world today.
The number of blind people in
Pakistan is also increasing.
Keeping this situation in view,
Al-Shifa Eye Trust started
holding free eye surgery camps
in the backward and far-flung
areas of Pakistan. According to
the prevalent concept of eyecamp in Pakistan, it is getting
oneself checked up by

11

a doctor one day and getting a

prescription of medicine.
Whereas annual free surgery eye
camp is held under the
banner of Al-Shifa Eye Trust
benefiting hundreds of patients
each year. Some of the
prominent characteristics of
these camps are given below:

12

Characteristics of
Eye Camps
The camps are held under
the supervision of
experienced doctors of big
hospitals.
Medicines and equipment of
international standard is used
in these camps.
These camps are held majorly
in poor areas. Al-Shifa Eye
Trust focuses on these farflung backward areas for
OPD camps where people
find it hard to come to cities
for treatment owing to
poverty and ignorance.
Thus they get the medical
facility at their doorstep.

13

Doctors team visit such rural

areas and hold OPD camps
prior to arranging surgery
camps where the deserving
people get fist aid medicine
on the spot whereas more
serious patients are given
dates of operation. It is in this
way that 3000 people are
operated upon annually.
The patients recommended
for operation by the OPD
initial camps are operated
upon within three days under
the supervision of expert
professors.
The patients are kept under
the medical treatment for a
day or two. Al-Shifa Eye
Trust is responsible for
boarding and lodging of such
poor patients.
Al-Shifa Eye Trust also
arranges for the provision of
lenses as per patients' needs
and post-operation eye drops
etc.

The patients belonging to

middle, lower middle and
lower class benefit from
such camps. The district
governments have declared
these camps as highly
organized and welfareoriented. The government
organizations have expressed
their gratitude for the AlShifa Eye Trust for
undertaking this noble cause.
