44-year-old Sokhon is a garment factory worker who lives in Cambodia with her husband, three sons and daughter. In her spare time, she enjoys watching Thai dramas on TV. "Three years ago Sokhon developed a pterygium in each eye," shares our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). A pterygium is a growth on the clear tissue of the eye that can spread to the cornea. CSC explains, "a pterygium causes her blurred vision, burning, irritation, and redness and tearing." "It is hard to see something clear or well and I feel uncomfortable doing my job. It is hard to go anywhere outside," Sokhon says. For just $150, Sokhon will receive a surgery in which the painful growths will be removed from each of her eyes. After treatment, Sokhon will be pain-free and will have an easier time focusing while at work. After surgery, Sokhon shares, "I hope my eye is good looking and normal again and I’m not worrying about that cyst affecting my vision.”
