Four years ago, Khan - an 80-year-old mother and grandmother from Cambodia - developed cataracts in both eyes. Her cataracts, which involve the clouding of her eyes’ lenses, have progressed, and now Khan can see very little. Khan traveled two hours to visit our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), who explained that the cataracts are causing "her to become partially blind and experience pain, tearing, and discharge." Khan tells CSC that she is looking forward to her surgery so that she can once again, "walk to the pagoda and join in the ceremony." Khan is eager to regain her independence and the ability to see her husband, children, and 15 grandchildren. For $225, Khan’s cataracts will be surgically removed and replaced with clear artificial lenses. After the operation, Khan will be able to see again without the risk of tearing, discharge, pain, or the rapid deterioration of her vision. "I hope I will be able to see clearer than I do now so that I can participate in my grandchild's wedding, which is soon," Khan adds.
