Sean successfully received vision-restorative cataract surgery.
Sean’s eye cataract was successfully removed in her right eye and clear vision has been restored! Following her procedure, she received eye drops to reduce inflammation and fight infections. She went home after the first surgery and has yet to return to have the same operation completed in the other eye. Because returning to the clinic requires taking a day off from work and usually a family escort, she may have had trouble finding a day to come back. Also, because the patient left with clear vision in one eye, her problems with blurred vision are less of a burden making the second surgery a less immediate priority than the first. The second surgery will be free whenever the she returns.
Sean shares, “I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again so that I can look after my grandchildren, do work easily, and go to the pagoda or anywhere else outside.”
