Started in 1966, the NOOR Eye Care programme is the largest and longest running IAM programme in Afghanistan. Over the past four decades, in spite of frequent warfare and civil unrest, we have treated literally millions of patients needing eye care. We are now seeing more than 260,000 patients every year and performing more than 6'700 sight-saving surgeries annually. We also are the leading organization in training local eye care professionals in all levels of eye care.
