Hoeun is a 56-year-old woman who has one daughter, two sons, and eight grandchildren. In her free time, Hoeun enjoys listening to the monks pray at the pagoda and watching Khmer dramas on TV.
About a year ago, Hoeun developed cataracts in both eyes. The cataracts have caused her to experience blurred vision, burning, tearing, and cloudy lenses. It is difficult for Hoeun to see things and people clearly, do any work, and go anywhere by herself.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $398 to fund small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant for each of Hoeun’s eyes. The surgery is scheduled to take place on July 6 and, once completed, will hopefully restore Hoeun’s vision to its former state and allow her to live more comfortably.
