Leat is a lotus farmer from Cambodia. He has two sons and two daughters. He likes spending time with his six grandchildren and watching boxing matches. Two years ago, Leat developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurred vision, irritation, and tearing. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Leat learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On February 2, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $398 procedure. He says, "I hope I can see everything clearly so I can continue to work as a farmer and support my family."
