Eye Cancer is a problem in Pakistan where a large number of the population is victims of the said disease. Approximately, 2,200 people have been diagnosed with this disease in Pakistan, 30 percent of which are children. Annually, the ratio surges to a great extent.

The lack of medical facilities for Eye Cancer patients further gives rise to more patients. However, the masses suffering from the dangerous disease don't afford to do their treatment on their own as the price of medicines cum hospitalization is out of their reach. 

The concerned authorities are required to show interest in this massive issue which has likelihood chances of further escalation. The government needs to look into this matter on a priority basis.
