Meet 53-year-old Meng from Cambodia. “Meng is married with two sons, two daughters, and three grandkids. He works as a rice and crop farmer," says our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). "In his free time he enjoys watching boxing programs on TV. He traveled 5 hours with his wife to reach CSC.” “Two years ago Meng developed a cataract in each eye.” explains CSC. “This causes him blurred vision, some pain, tearing, and he is afraid of the bright sunshine.” Cataracts are caused by the lens inside the eye becoming cloudy, causing decreased vision and functional blindness. For $225, Meng will receive a phaco procedure and IOL implant. During surgery, the cloudy lens is taken out of each eye and replaced with a clear, artificial one. This treatment will relieve his painful symptoms and allow him to see clearly again. Meng is eager to heal properly and return to daily life, and his wife remains hopeful that his pain will soon come to an end. She shares,"I hope my husband can see everything clearly again, so he can do work at the farm field to support our family. I hope I will not have to worry about his eyes having more problems in the future." "I hope my eyes can see everything clearly as normal again," Meng adds. "I would like to do my work at the farm field and go anywhere outside too."
