A Journey from Light to Life

Pakistan Eye Bank Society (PEBS) was founded in 1968 beneath a banyan tree by visionary pioneers who believed that sight is a basic human right. What started as a corneal donation initiative has grown into Pakistan's premier charitable healthcare institution.

PEBS Hospital started functioning in 1993, transforming from a single-focus charity into a multi-specialty healthcare facility. Today, we offer eye care, dental services, free dialysis, oral cancer surgery, breast cancer treatment, and cardiac consultations — mostly free of cost for those who cannot afford.

A Journey Spanning Six Decades

From humble beginnings in 1962 to Pakistan's leading eye care institution — witness our transformative journey of dedicated service.

1962

The Beginning

The movement for eye donation starts in Karachi, laying the groundwork for what would become Pakistan's first organized corneal donation initiative.

1968

Cornea Grafting Campaign

The first cornea grafting campaign is launched, marking the birth of organized corneal transplant services in Pakistan.

1973–76

PEBS Established

Pakistan Eye Bank Society (PEBS) is formally established in 1973 and registered as a Society in 1976 to work on a national basis.

1978–82

Nationwide Expansion

Eye Donation Organizations established in Rawalpindi (REDO), Peshawar, Lahore (Data Darbar Eyes Hospital), and Baluchistan — each with Corneal Grafting Weeks, creating Pakistan's first comprehensive eye-care network across all four provinces.

1983–93

Hospital Construction & Launch

Construction of PEBS Hospital commences in 1983. After a decade of building, PEBS Hospital opens its doors in 1993, transforming the society from a donation movement into a full-fledged healthcare facility.

1995–2006

Clinical Growth

Eye operations begin in 1995. The Dental & Maxillofacial department launches in 2006, marking PEBS's expansion beyond ophthalmology into multi-specialty care.

2012–19

Diagnostics & Modern Eye Bank

The Ardeshir Cowasjee Department of Radiology & Diagnostic Laboratory opens in 2012. In 2019, a state-of-the-art PEBS Eye Bank and Cornea Lab is inaugurated.

2020–21

Chronic Care Expansion

The Cardiac & Diabetes Unit opens in 2020, followed by the establishment of a Free Dialysis Unit in 2021 — extending PEBS's mission to chronic disease management.

2023–24

Cancer Care Units

Oral Cancer Surgery Unit starts in 2023, providing free head & neck oncology services. The Breast Cancer Surgery Unit follows in 2024, making PEBS a comprehensive cancer care provider for the underserved.

A Legacy of Vision and Compassion

What began as a movement for eye donation in 1962 has grown into Pakistan's most trusted charitable healthcare institution. Through six decades of unwavering commitment, PEBS has not only restored sight to thousands but has also pioneered comprehensive charitable healthcare in Pakistan. Today, having served over 10 million patients, we remain anchored to our founding principle: "Gift of Vision for Every Pakistani".
