The document discusses plans to address the gap in eye care in Karachi, Pakistan. It notes that there are an estimated 249,000 blind people in Karachi, with 117,124 due to cataracts and 23,000 due to diabetes. The estimated need for cataract surgeries is 50,000-60,000 per year but current facilities only provide 30,000, leaving a gap of 20,000-30,000 patients. To address this, the Prevention of Blindness Trust is establishing the POB Eye Hospital Karachi, which will be a fully equipped international-standard eye hospital that provides free services and aims to fill the cataract surgery gap. The hospital will be constructed on acquired land
