Yang Mok is a 54-year-old construction worker. He is married, and his wife sells fish at their local market. When he is home, Yang Mok enjoys listening to the news on the radio.
Two years ago, Yang Mok developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision and photophobia. As a result, it is difficult for him to work outside in the sun so he cannot work as much as he used to. Currently, Yang Mok has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he cannot go places on his own.
Fortunately, Yang Mok was able to travel to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), to receive treatment. On March 9th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Yang Mok shared, “After surgery, I hope my eye can see clearly again. It will be easier for me to work in my job and help my wife at home.”
