Soeum is a married grandfather who lives in Cambodia. He's 78 years old and has two sons, five daughters and twenty grandchildren. "Soeum developed a cataract in each eye about two years ago, causing him blurred vision, cloudy lenses, and extreme sensitivity to light," explains our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). "It is difficult for him to see things clearly and recognize faces, walk anywhere on his own, and do any work by himself." Fortunately, Soeum learned about CSC's services from his son, who has also been treated there. He traveled for four hours with his grandson to reach a CSC treatment center. For $292, he can receive cataract surgery, improving his vision and allowing him to be more independent. The simple procedure will remove his the old, cloudy lenses from his eye and implant a new, clear lens. Soeum says, "I hope my eyes can see everything more clearly so that I can easily work and go anywhere by myself without needing to disturb anyone. I want to visit my relatives in Kampot province."
