Rawalpindi Eye Donors Organization

A group of young volunteers established this organization. The aim was to motivate people to donate eyes for clients with cornea visual impairment. There are approximately 190,000 curable visually impaired persons in Pakistan whose vision can be restored by cornea grafting. Eye specialists in Pakistan have been grafting corneas and restoring vision of persons living with visual impairment for the past two decades. This all is happening for the benefit of the citizens of our country to give them better health and vision. The founders of REDO realized the imperative need of motivation within the country in order to benefit a large number of affected people. Up to June 2008, REDO has Registered 33680 eye donors and performed 1182 cornea-grafting operations. 972 eyes were received from Sri Lanka & 210 received from Pakistani donors. Beside this, great incentive was provided for this work by a former President of Pakistan who took great initiative and provides incentive and instructions to all the concerned departments for providing all facilities / assistance to REDO in connection with its functions / activities in the field of eye donation and cure of visual impairment.
