About the hospital

Restoring sight and dignity to the people of Peshawar — one eye at a time.

Founded in 1994, Peshawar Eye Hospital has grown into one of KPK’s most trusted centres for comprehensive eye care, combining consultant-led expertise with modern diagnostics — accessible, affordable, and patient-first.

Our story

What began as a single-doctor clinic on University Road has become a multi-specialty hospital serving more than 200 patients a day from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Afghanistan, and the tribal districts. As cataract blindness and diabetic eye disease rose across the region, we invested in the surgeons, the technology, and the systems to meet that need close to home — so families would no longer have to travel to Lahore or Islamabad for sight-saving care.

Every decision we make is measured against three commitments — clinical excellence, honest counsel, and care that respects every patient regardless of means.

We treat the patient, not just the eye.
