Meet Chheang, a 74-year-old woman from Cambodia. Chheang “spends her time planting crops around her home and visiting the pagoda to listen to the monks pray," says our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). "Two years ago, Chheang developed a cataract in each eye," CSC shares. This condition causes a thin, filmy layer to form over the eye lens, leading to blurred vision. Due to partial blindness, teary eyes, and itchiness, Chheang finds it increasingly difficult to keep her independence. "It is hard to see everything clearly and I can't recognize faces,” she shares. For $225, Chheang will receive vision-restoring cataract surgery. In both eyes, the cloudy lenses will be removed and replaced with artificial substitutes. Chheang will be able to see clearly again after less than a day of recovery. "I hope after treatment my eyes can see everything clearer than now so I can easily do any work and go anywhere by myself," Chheang shares. "I hope I won't have to disturb someone to help me get places, and I don't want to worry about my eyes becoming blind in the future."
