Morch is a 60-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two sons, two daughters, and two grandchildren. When she is not busy at home caring for her family, she enjoys spending time with her friends at the local church.
Two years ago, Morch developed a cataract in each eye, causing her pain, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Morch learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On February 26th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $425 procedure.
“I hope that I can get better after my surgery and that I will be be able to see clearly and go places on my own again,” she shared.

Morch underwent bilateral cataract surgery.
Both of Morch’s eye operations were smooth and successful. Morch’s visual acuity has significantly improved, and she no longer has difficulty recognizing the faces of her children and grandchildren. Doctors gave Morch eye drops, which she will apply at home 8 times daily. Her daughter is very happy and glad that her mother can see clearly again and she will no longer have to worry about her vision loss.
Morch said, “I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly. I can continue my work at the rice field, and I can go anywhere I want to again.”
