Phoeung is a loving grandmother from Cambodia. She has one son, one daughter, and five grandchildren. Phoeung lives with her husband. She likes listening to the monks pray on the radio and visiting the pagoda near her home.
Five years ago, Phoeung developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her tearing and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on her own.
When Phoeung learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On February 4th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Phoeung says, “I hope after surgery I can easily recognize my family and their faces better, get around on my own, and go back to visit the pagoda.”

Phoeung underwent sight-restoring cataract surgery.
Phoeung’s surgery was a success! She has returned home in good health and will rest and apply eye drops to continue her healing. Phoeung had assumed that her failing eyesight was just a part of getting old and was thrilled when she opened her eyes and could already see more clearly after surgery. She shared that she looks forward to visiting her local pagoda by herself without the worry of falling and that she can’t wait to really see her grandchildren again when they visit.
Phoeung’s husband said, “We are grateful for the care my wife received. She will be able to work around the house, visit the market, and cook delicious food again. Thank you to the donors who supported her to have this surgery, and to the doctors and nurses at CSC.”
