Keam is a 71-year-old man living in Cambodia. He is married with five children and six grandchildren. He has mature cataracts in both eyes, which cause increased sensitivity to light and blurred vision. This makes it very difficult for him to do any type of work alone, or enjoy his favorite past-time, reading.
$225 will fund a cataract treatment that will replace the cloudy lenses in his eyes with artificial lenses.
