Bunthouen is a 58-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He has one son, two daughters, and five grandchildren. He lives with his whole family, and he and his children work on their farm together. He is an avid fan of soccer, and when he is not working, he watches matches on TV, plays soccer with his friends, or travels to watch soccer matches.
Three years ago, Bunthouen developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him Blurry vision and photophobia. These symptoms have worsened in the past few weeks. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Bunthouen learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two hours by taxi seeking treatment. On August 3rd, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs your help to fund this $229 procedure.
Bunthouen shared, “I miss being able to work with my children, so I hope I can recover from this surgery quickly and see everything well, this way no one will have to worry about me as well.”
