Adult Eye Treatments
Donate Zakat and Sadaqah and help adults regain sight
23 million adults in Pakistan are blind or visually impaired, which has a huge bearing on individuals, families, communities and society. Sight loss prevents people being able to perform their duties and work. Lost work in turn affects family finances, leading to hardship and poverty. Poverty is therefore both a cause and a consequence of poor eye health.
LRBT has developed a comprehensive eye care service that treats the full range of eye conditions. With a network of hospitals and clinics across the country, your Zakat and Sadaqah donations ensure we help the most vulnerable in society, serving communities with little or no access to health care. In restoring sight, we help redress the economic imbalance and empower the most vulnerable to become productive members of society again.
