Yoeung is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one son and two daughters. She likes watching boxing matches on TV.
Two months ago, Yoeung developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision, itchiness, tearing, clouded lens, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Yoeung learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On December 4, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
Her husband says, “I hope my wife’s surgery goes well so that she can see clearly and she can return to work soon.”
