“It is hard to see everything clearly or do any work very well,” shares Khuon, an 80-year-old woman from Cambodia. “I can’t go outside by myself.” Three years ago, Khuon developed a cataract in each eye. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), tells us that due to her condition, Khuon experiences blurred vision, tearing, and itchiness. Cataracts occur when a thin, cloudy layer develops over the eye lens--gradually worsening vision as they continue to grow. For $225, Khuon will undergo the most widely practiced eye surgery. The clouded lens in each eye will be removed and replaced with an artificial substitute. Within a day of the surgery, Khuon will regain her vision. Khuon, who is married with three sons, three daughters, and 20 grandchildren, enjoys listening to the radio and hearing the monks praying. Eager to return to her normal lifestyle, Khuon says, “I hope my eyes can see everything clearly again. I want to help my daughter do housework, take care of my grandchild, and go anywhere outside by myself.”
