Thou is a 60-year-old woman from Cambodia. In her free time, she enjoys listening to monks praying on the radio and participating in ceremonies at the pagoda.
About three months ago, Thou developed a cataract in each eye, which has caused her to experience blurred vision, pain, and tearing. As a result, it is difficult for her to see things clearly, and she worries about the future deterioration of her vision.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $292 to fund a phaco procedure and an intraocular lens implant for each of Thou’s eyes. The surgery is scheduled to take place on April 4 and, once completed, will hopefully restore Thou’s vision and allow her to live more comfortably.

Thou underwent cataract surgery.
Her eye cataract was successfully removed from her left eye, and clear vision has been restored. Following the operation, she was given eye drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. She will return soon for the same surgery on her right eye.
Thou says, “I am very happy that I can see everything clearly again because I want to go to the pagoda easily and I don’t want to have anymore pain. I can go anywhere outside by myself well without needing to disturb others to take care of me anymore.”
