To see Khairunisa Eye Hospital as a leading charitable, quality eye care providing and human resource development facility of the country.

Background Of Vision and Mission
According to global estimates published by international association of the prevention of blindness (www.iapb.org ) figures. of 2015, about 75 % of the visual impairment and blindness is curable. By far the major burden lies in under-developed world such as ours. Vast majority of our populace do not have access to basic health or eye care.
Major cause of decreased vision can be cured by simple eyesight testing and dispensing appropriate glasses. More than a billion people in the world need suitable reading glasses only. The most common cause of visual impairment and blindness, is uncorrected refractive errors. Correct assessment and prescription of glasses is all that it takes to cure the disability. Worst affected in the category of visual impairment are silently suffering school going children because they do not generally complain.
Second most common cause of curable blindness is cataract and this will have to be dealt with by increasing our operating capacity many folds, hopefully through creating a bigger and better hospital. The same needs to be done at all levels across the length and breadth of the world, developed and underdeveloped alike.
