1. Introduction & Institutional Governance

The Eyes Eye Clinic (“The Eyes”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the ophthalmic medical facility located at 162-A Shah Jamal, Main Road, Lahore, Pakistan, and the website located at https://theeyeslahore.com.

Established in 1991 by US and UK credentialed surgeons, The Eyes has maintained thirty-five consecutive years of clinical excellence founded upon medical integrity. We recognize the profound sensitivity of healthcare information and are committed to protecting the privacy of all patients, website visitors, and employment applicants.

2. Information We Collect & How It Is Obtained

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when interacting with our clinical digital services:

A. Online Appointment Booking Data

When you schedule an in-person consultation or procedure assessment, we collect your full name, phone/WhatsApp number, email address (optional), selected senior surgeon (e.g. Dr. Ahmad Hussain, Dr. Athar Akram), requested date and time slot, and any medical symptoms or procedure preferences you describe.

B. Self-Assessment Tool & Vision Simulator

Responses provided within our Laser Suitability Test (age range, prescription stability, vision goals) are processed in real-time to generate educational procedural guidance. These inputs are never tied to external tracking profiles.

C. Job Applications & Career Profiles

When applying for ophthalmic technician, nursing, optometry, or administrative openings, we collect your curriculum vitae (CV), educational qualifications, past clinical experience, and contact coordinates strictly for human resources evaluation.

Your data is accessed exclusively by authorized clinic coordinators and attending consultant ophthalmologists at 162-A Shah Jamal, Lahore for the sole purpose of:

  • Registering your consultation token in our internal appointment ledger.
