Nom is 60 years old. She likes to go to the pagoda to listen to monks pray and go to the farm to feed her animals.
Three years ago, Nom developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision, tearing, and irritation. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, working, and going anywhere outside.
When Nom learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On December 15, doctors performed a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, Nom will be able to see clearly again. Now, she needs help to fund this $292 procedure.
“I hope to be able to see everything more clearly,” she says, “so that I can keep feeding my cows and buffalos. I want to be able to do any work easily and go anywhere outside by myself too.”
