Seang is a 58-year-old woman. She and her husband work as rice farmers and have two daughters, four sons, and ten grandchildren. In her free time, Seang enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Three years ago, Seang developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go places on her own.
When Seang learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 19th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure.
Seang says, “After surgery, I want to be able to plant rice more easily.”

Seang underwent cataract surgery so she can see clearly.
Seang’s sister suggested she go to Children’s Surgical Centre for her eye problem, and she was happy she took her sister’s advice! She had successful surgery and was able to return home two days later. When her eye is completely healed, it will be easier for her to go outside to help in the rice field, and she will no longer be afraid that she will trip or fall due to limited vision.
Seang says, “I am happy I can be more independent and not stay inside the house feeling useless. I can go to our village pagoda by myself, and help to take care of my grandchildren. Thank you to the donors who help Cambodians like me to have a good life and support our families with good health.”
