Chhroy received vision-restoring cataract surgery.
Chhroy can see clearly again for the first time in five years. With restored vision, she looks forward to going home and selling vegetables at the market.
Chhroy’s surgery lasted approximately 45 minutes, during which her clouded lenses were replaced with artificial implants. She can return to Children’s Surgical Centre at any time for follow-up care if she experiences complications, but she has been discharged and is expected to make a full recovery.

Chhroy is a 66-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is a grandmother with two sons, four daughters, and 12 grandchildren.
“Chhroy developed a cataract in each eye 5 years ago. This causes her blurred vision and irritation. She can’t see everything clearly, do work well, or go anywhere outside on her own,” explains her doctor at Children’s Surgical Centre in Cambodia (CSC).
Chhroy traveled to CSC for care, as she is unable to afford the procedure on her own. $225 funds cataract surgery that will remove the cloudy lenses from both of her eyes and replace them with artificial lenses. Funding for her surgery includes post-operative care, and after the surgery, she will be able to see clearly again.
