Furthermore, eight patients requiring laser surgery were referred to Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital in Muzaffarabad, where they will undergo free surgery.
Arrangements were made for accommodation, food, and travel facilities for patients requiring surgery.
The organisers said that the aim of the free eye camp was to provide treatment facilities to those living near the Line of Control who are deprived of quality treatment due to a lack of resources and unfavorable conditions.
