90% of blindness is curable but people go blind and lose their ability to work and provide for themselves and their families because they cannot afford treatment. GLT is a vital safety net for the underprivileged, providing the highest quality medical care completely FREE.

We recognise that patients like Shabbir will never be able to save enough money for surgery from their modest income, which just about provides for staples. At 22, Shabbir’s sight was weakening but family responsibilities meant there was little money to spare for treatment and travel. However, hope arrived with the opening of an LRBT hospital in his home city of Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab. Relieved to learn that treatment would be provided for free, Shabbir received surgery and is proudly providing for his family.

GLT remains the only hope for millions like Shabbir, providing free, high quality eye care to those in need. Your support can help bring light to them and give millions the gift of sight.

Shabbir is the 56th million patient we have treated.
