Global Perspective
- According to 2015 statistics, out of 7.3 Billion people, 253 Million are visually impaired.
- 55 % of visually impaired are women.
- 75 % of the Global Visual Impairment is curable,
- 89 % of the Visually Impaired are in middle and low income countries.
- 1.1 Billion people need reading glasses only.
- Major Cause if Visual Impairment is Uncorrected Refractive Errors, correctable with prescription of suitable glasses.
- Second most common cause of Visual Impairment is Cataract
- UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) # 1,3,4,5, 8, 10 & 17 have direct or indirect reference to the needs of the Visually Impaired. These SDGs needs to be addressed at Government as well as Non-Government levels.
- UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) needs to be taken up at NGO level too to address the concerns and efforts be made for their inclusion in our community programs.
- Unicef Convention on the Rights of Child addresses universal concerns and Vision Trust wants to make positive contributions in this regards too.
Domestic scenario
- Total Visual Impairment in Pakistan, both genders and all ages for 2020 is 11.21 %. iapb.org atlas for 2020.
- This translates into 2.8 Million Visually Impaired.
Vision
Making our world a better place for living, by eliminating curable visual impairment.

Our Journey
Inception in 2004,
We started working for the above Mission, at a humble level at Bahadurabad, Karachi, Pakistan as Sheikh Aziz-ur-Rehman Memorial Eye Clinic in 2004. This initiative was organised as Danishsra Welfare Association registered under The Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration And Control Ordinance 1961) of Pakistan.
Re-organisation;
In 2009 we re-structured our legal framework and transformed into Vision Trust registered under The Trusts Act (II OF 1882) of Pakistan.
Presently;
For want of expansion of our service base and workload capacity, in 2016, we moved our clinic to a bigger and better premises, near Islamia College, Karachi Pakistan, courtesy K&N’s Foundation, which is registered under section 42 of The Companies Act, 2017 of Pakistan. The eyecare facility here morphed into Khairun-nisa Eye Hospital, located at the premises provided by the Foundation at 49/4 Dr. Tharani Road, Gujrat Colony, Jamshed Town, Karachi-74800, Pakistan.
Over all these years, thousands of underprivileged have benefited with high quality eye care and surgeries. Moreover this has provided us a firm foothold in society and a step for us to move on. It also reflects in a way our unwavering resolve, perseverance, and the success of our working and financial model.
Immediate Future Plans;
Our School Eye Health Services are being initiated with various organisations like Nasra School Trust, Ida Rieu School for Deaf and Dumb, Jannat Aziz Hospital, Burewala, The Citizen Foundation and with Read Foundation. Our objective is to provide eyesight screening to as many school going children as possible.
We intend to empower the schools by training their staff to conduct simple and routine eye sight screening tests on an annual basis and share their findings with us. The central theme is to install/ empower the schools towards creating and managing a self sustainable eyesight screening mechanism. Once established this can Include other school health components like nutrition, hearing defects etc and rehabilitation of the blind.
Long Term Future Plans;
To setup a Human Resource Development, Teaching and Training Facility from ground up, a comprehensive eye care facility, providing quality eye to privileged, underprivileged alike and those in need to be treated totally free of cost.
Message of the CEO
Right from the start of my career back in 1982, I always felt the pain for people who couldn’t afford decent healthcare for lack of resources.
Working for more than two decades at such, out-of-reach-for-the- underprivileged-setups, I finally made peace with myself in 2004, when I decided to dedicate full time, the remaining years of my career in the service of less fortunate.
16 years down the line, I am happy to have taken a right decision in a moment in time I consider sacred in my heart. No amount of fee can give me such professional satisfaction and spiritual delight as much as I get in serving the deprived and the underprivileged.
Absolutely nothing was possible, without the help and support of like minded friends and supporters all along the journey. They helped and encouraged me on with their material, financial and moral assistance. They were always standing behind me for support in manners I expected as well as over and above my expectations. Cannot name them all, or even remember the too many names in this regard, but sincerely pray to the Almighty who knows them all very well, to reward them well with rewards much more than what they might ever wish for and even more.
May Allah give me enough time, strength and opportunity to create a much bigger and better facility than the one He has led me, my supporters and wellwishers to create. Bigger and better in scope and above all being accessible to less fortunate. My Allah accept my humble endeavours and let me make differences into the lives of people I come across in discharging my duties.
Let's join hands and work together to eliminate blindness.

Quite often, some points in life turn out to be the turning points in one's life. One such point in time, in my life turned up back in 1997, when a young junior staff member of our office was diagnosed with cancer.
The humane part of my personality took over me with a force that rules me till the time of writing of these lines. Such was the force of this emotion and such was the growth of this helping hand for fellow humans within me, that it completely re-directed the course of my entire life and objectives for ever.
In 2003, I formed a Trust, Nasiruddin Pirzada Welfare Trust in memory of my late father a retired Colonel in Pakistan Army. Started a tiny little one-room vocational centre of women in Azam Basti, a low lying underprivileged neighborhood of Karachi - Pakistan. By the grace of Almighty, at the time of this writing, it has grown into a primary School, upto 5th grade with 300+ children receiving quality education free of cost.

I practice ophthalmology not as a profession but as a religious obligation. My parents, may Allah shower His blessings on them, have provided me everything that can make anyone go out and work for. The pleasure I draw from practicing general ophthalmology, high volume cataract surgeries and honing my skills in practice of medical retina here, is beyond words to express. The smiles and prayers of patients I get in return are my precious take homes.
At this hospital, I have all that it takes to practice ophthalmology and achieve what I want to. Patients, all the necessary equipment, supportive staff, above all a friendly and family like professional work environment. In short we have all what it takes to make any professional like me happy, to fully exploit the potentials of my person and the art I practice.
I look forward to serving the patients at Khairun'nisa Eye Hospital, the cause underlying the creation of this hospital, for a long time. A cause that binds me to it, in a spiritual manner, the pure cause of service to humanity.
