Al-Shifa Eye Bank of Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital is Pakistan’s biggest cornea transplant center where an estimated 800 corneas are transplanted annually. After the transplant, patients can get their vision back again. An estimated 2 million people suffer from blindness in Pakistan. Out of which around 2 lac individuals suffer with diseases of cornea. The vision of such patients can be easily recov
ered through corneal transplant. Since we do not have a national level eye banking system, therefore all the corneas are imported from abroad. The supply cannot match the huge demand for corneal transplantation. To address the shortage of corneal tissue, Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital has established an advanced eye bank, where people can submit their will for donating cornea. Al-Shifa Eye Bank is registered with Punjab Human Organ Transplantation Authority, Government of the Punjab. Your donation can bring light to a blind person’s life.
