Chhan is a volunteer veterinarian, a 64-year-old, and a father to two sons, three daughters, and now many grandchildren. He loves animals and volunteers as a veterinarian to help domestic animals. His wife is a housewife who sells vegetables that he plants at his house. He shared that he likes to listen to the news on the radio and read books.
Since three years ago, but mostly in the last two months, it has been increasingly hard for him to see out of his eye. Chhan developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision.
When Chhan learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours with his wife seeking treatment. On January 12th, 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 help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope after surgery I can see to go back to work, drive my motorcycle, and read and write well,” he shared with us.
