Seang is a 76-year-old woman from Cambodia married with two sons, one daughter, and six grandchildren. She spends her time cooking and cleaning in her home. She traveled three hours with her daughter to reach Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment.
One year ago, Seang developed a cataract in each of her eyes. This causes her blurred vision, tearing, cloudy lenses, and photophobia. She can’t see everyone clearly or do work very well.
After a small incision cataract surgery and intraocular lens implant in each eye, Seang will be able to see clearly again. This procedure costs $225.

Seang successfully received vision-restoring cataract surgery.
Seang’s eye cataract was successfully removed in her left eye and clear vision has been restored. Following her procedure, she received Tobradex eye drops to reduce inflammation and Ciprofloxacin eye drops to fight bacteria. She went home after the first surgery and has yet to return to have the same operation completed in the other eye. Because returning to the clinic requires taking a day off from work and usually a family escort, she may have had trouble finding a day to come back. Also, because the patient left with clear vision in one eye, her problems with blurred vision are less of a burden making the second surgery a less immediate priority than the first. The second surgery will be free whenever she returns.
Seang shares, “I am happy that I can see everything clearly again so I can continue my work as a farmer again and easily go anywhere outside by myself.”
