Established in 1940, the Spencer Eye Hospital was once considered one of the most reputed hospitals in the country for eye diseases. But due to the spike in violence in parts of Karachi, along with financial constraints of the hospital, the turnout of patients has dropped considerably over the last five years.
The hospital was among the pioneers of free medical camps and corneal transplantation in Pakistan. Because of its services and exemplary medical staff, the hospital's fame spread across the country according to hospital records, residents of Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan were among the patients who visited this hospital. The number of patients reportedly was so high that sometimes patients would have to wait days for their turn.
