Founded in 1976, Pakistan Eye Bank Society (PEBS) is a not-for-profit organization that emerged from a movement initiated by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1968, committed to eradicating corneal blindness in Pakistan through local cornea donation. With a deep-rooted history in this noble cause, PEBS has made significant strides in advancing eye care across the nation. The organization has been a pioneer in this field, achieving national milestones such as establishing Eye Banks in Rawalpindi (1978), Peshawar (1980), and Quetta (1982), alongside hosting numerous international conferences to address this issue globally.

One of PEBS’s greatest achievements was the celebration of 106 free corneal grafts performed in just one week, marking a historic first and setting the benchmark for future efforts in corneal transplantation. This achievement demonstrated PEBS’s leadership in the field and has continued to inspire success. PEBS’s efforts have garnered attention from international organizations like the Sri Lanka Eye Donation Society and the USA, culminating in the restoration of sight for over 16,000 corneal blind patients.

Established in 1993 for eye-related disorders, PEBS Hospital has continually transformed into a multidisciplinary facility, providing comprehensive medical care to underserved communities.

The Community Outreach Program, launched in 2007, focuses on the early detection and intervention of refractive errors in children and offers various campaigns to raise awareness and provide free healthcare to those in need.
