World Sight Day 2020
Oct 8, 2020
World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness held on 08 October to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment.
This year, the ‘Call to Action‘ for World Sight Day is:
Hope In Sight
We aim to bring all people in Pakistan "Hope in Sight" by providing FREE eye care to every man, woman and child who cannot afford treatment. We are proud to have a network of 19 hospitals, 59 clinics, mobile units, outreach centres and screening camps that enables us to treat people in deprived urban areas and remote rural villages, which have poor healthcare facilities.
Thank you for all your support to help us carry out our mission envisioned by our founding fathers in 1984, the late Graham Layton and Zaka Rahmatulla.
No Pakistani would go blind because he/she could not afford the treatment.
They also left behind 4 founding principles which we call ‘The Spirit of LRBT’ guiding our activities and permeates everything that we do:
All treatment at LRBT is totally free so that no man, woman or child becomes blind because he/she cannot afford the treatment.
Treatment is appropriate and state-of-the-art because charity should not mean second rate.
Treatment is no discrimination due to gender, caste, ethnicity, language, religion or sect.
Patients are treated with compassion and dignity.
