Leang is a 48-year-old traveling coconut seller. He is married and has one son and one daughter. Both of his children are in school. When he’s not traveling, he enjoys watching boxing on television.
Three years ago, Leang developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty driving. When Leang learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 6th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Leang shared, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly. I can sell coconuts again to earn money for my family.”

Leang underwent cataract surgery so he can continue working.
Leang had successful cataract surgery and was able to return home to his province. His eyesight has improved, and he feels confident now that his vision is good enough to drive his moto to sell coconuts in his province. Selling coconuts is important because he will be able to make money to feed his family and make sure his children stay in school.
Leang’s wife said: “Thank you to the staff at the hospital for helping my husband to see better. Before his surgery, he could not drive or do anything well. He is much happier and can be more independent with good eyesight.”
