Sightsavers Pakistan

Sightsavers began working in Pakistan in 1985, and opened a country office in 1998. Our focus is treating eye conditions and making sure people with disabilities are included in education and work.

Sightsavers aims to ensure everyone can be treated for eye issues. We’ve trained more than 85,000 Lady Health Workers to provide health care in the community for conditions including refractive error, cataracts. We’ve also trained more than 40,000 teachers to screen children in schools.

In collaboration with provincial partners, we’ve established seven paediatric ophthalmology centres, and trained thousands of opthalmologists and surgeons.
