Yang is a 65-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is married with one son, two daughters, and eight grandchildren. She likes to go to the pagoda to listen to monks pray. Yang heard about Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) from a person in her village who had surgery there before. She spent three hours traveling with her daughter to reach CSC for treatment.
Yang developed a cataract in each eye about two years ago, causing blurred vision. It is difficult for her to see things clearly, do any work, and go anywhere on her own.
After a small incision cataract surgery (SICS) and intraocular lens (IOL) implant in each eye, Yang will be able to see clearly again. $292 will cover the costs of the surgery and care Yang needs.
Yang says, "I hope that I can see everything more clear than now so that I can do any work easily and I can go anywhere outside well without needing to disturb others to take care of me."
