Kroy is a 75-year-old farmer. He has one son, two daughters, and eight grandchildren. Kroy shared that his wife passed away a while ago, and he now lives with his youngest daughter, who is also a farmer. When he has free time, Kroy likes to visit his relatives.
Around five years ago, Kroy developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision. As a result, he has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he cannot go places independently.
When Kroy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On February 22nd, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Kroy said, “After surgery, I hope I can go around by myself well and plant some vegetables outside my house.”

Kroy underwent sight-restoring cataract surgery.
Kroy and his daughter traveled to our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment of his cataract. He spent one night in the hospital after surgery and then was able to take the long trip home with prescription eyedrops that he will use to aid in healing. Kroy is grateful that he will be able to see well enough to spend time outside planting vegetables to support and feed his family.
Kroy’s daughter said: “Our family is everything to my father, and he felt very bad he could not contribute to our family when he could not see well. Now he can be more independent. Thank you to the CSC staff and the donors who helped my father see again.”
