Muth is a 70-year-old woman with five sons, four daughters, and fourteen grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray on the radio and go to the pagoda.
Two years ago, Muth developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision, burning, itchiness, cloudy lenses, and extreme sensitivity to light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, working, and going anywhere outside.
When Muth learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours with her son seeking treatment. On October 26, doctors performed small incision cataract surgery in each eye and inserted intraocular lens implants. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly again. Now, Muth needs help to fund this $292 procedure.
"I hope my eyes can see everything more clearly," she says, "so that I can do any work and go anywhere outside by myself."
