“Eng has been battling mature cataracts for two years now, and it is getting to the point where she will have to stop working soon,” Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) tells us about this 68-year-old woman from Cambodia. “No power of eyeglass lens will allow her to see objects that are more than five feet away.”
“Eng has six grandchildren, and she desperately wants to be able to care for them and see them grow up, but it is very hard for her to do so now with her cataracts,” CSC continues.
With $150 clinicians will be able to perform cataract removal surgery and restore Eng’s vision. “After surgery, Eng is most excited to go and visit friends and relatives by herself, and also to go the pagoda without anyone’s assistance,” CSC writes.
What are we waiting for? Let’s fund this procedure.
