Three days. Two advanced surgical workshops. One shared goal β strengthening eye care in Pakistan.
The Institute of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences - SIOVS, Hyderabad f Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences (SIOVS), Hyderabad, and Vision For Education Foundation have come together to host hands-on Live Surgery Workshops running from 22 to 24 September 2026.
Two distinguished UK-based surgeons, Prof. Dr. Jeeva and Musa, are at SIOVS this week to train local ophthalmologists in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and Advanced Lacrimal Surgery β techniques that will now be available to patients right here in Sindh.
Prof. Dr. Memon of SIOVS leads the receiving team, taking these skills forward for the institution.
As an organisation that has facilitated over 1,500 corneal transplants across Pakistan, Vision for Education Foundation, understands that building local surgical capacity is just as critical as providing the tissue itself. Co-organising workshops like these is central to that mission.
None of this would be possible without the vision of Prof. Dr. Iqbal Talpur, Executive Director SIOVS, and the generosity of surgeons who believe in giving back.
This is what meaningful collaboration looks like.
