Him is a 60-year-old rice and crop farmer from Cambodia. She is married with three sons, five daughters, and 12 grandchildren. In her free time, she likes to go to the pagoda, watch dramas on TV, and listen to monks pray on the radio.
Last month, Him developed cataracts in both eyes, causing her blurred vision, headaches, tearing, and pain. It is difficult for her to see things clearly, recognize faces, work, or go anywhere by herself. Him worries about going blind one day.
On May 22, surgeons will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant intraocular lenses in both of Him’s eyes. After the surgery, she will be able to see clearly again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $292 to cover her treatment.

Him underwent successful cataract surgery.
Her eye cataract was successfully removed from her left eye, and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, she was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. She will return soon for the same surgery on her right eye.
Him says, “I feel very happy that I can see clearly again. I can help my family work on the farm and I can easily go to the pagoda or anywhere else outside by myself. I don’t need to bother others to take care of me.”
