Meet Bunly, a 68-year-old man from Cambodia. Bunly is married with three sons, three daughters, and 14 grandchildren. He enjoys visiting the pagoda and listening to the monks pray. He also enjoys reading Buddhist texts.
One year ago, Bunly developed mature cataracts in each eye. A cataract occurs when a thin, cloudy layer forms over the eye’s lens. “This causes him blurred vision, discharge, tearing, and fear of bright lights. It is hard for him to see clearly, do work, or go anywhere outside,” CSC explains.
After learning about CSC, Bunly and his wife travelled three hours to visit their clinic. They learned that a simple surgical procedure may restore Bunly’s sight.
With $225, Bunly will undergo cataract surgery, during which the cloudy lenses over his eyes will be removed and replaced with clear artificial implants, allowing him to see again clearly after his operation.

Bunly underwent vision-restoring cataract surgery.
Bunly had one of his cataracts removed in a short procedure, during which his clouded lens was removed and replaced with a clear, artificial implant. Though he was scheduled to have both cataracts treated, he has yet to return to receive his second surgery.
For any number of reasons, it can take patients some time to return for follow-up care. Patients often live far away, or have important family matters that keep them from coming back to the clinic. Whenever Bunly returns, his second surgery will be free.
