Sarin is a 77-year-old mother of four. She has two sons, two daughters, and ten grandchildren. Sarin’s husband passed away some time ago so she now lives her eldest daughter who works as a cleaner. Sarin likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio.
Two years ago, Sarin developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. Sarin has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on her own.
When Sarin learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On March 7th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and lens implant in Sarin’s left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is helping Sarin raise $229 to fund this procedure.
Sarin says, “I hope I can see well again so I can walk around to do things on my own and do my housework well.”

Sarin underwent life-changing cataract surgery.
Sarin didn’t want to admit she needed help, but could no longer visit places on her own or look after her grandchildren. After her surgery, she was so grateful for the improvement in her vision. She will use medicated eye drops eight times a day, and rest for several days at home before she resumes her normal activity. Her life will improve because she can be more useful to her family, and looks forward to walking her grandchildren to school.
Sarin said: “I am so happy, I feel 10 years younger, and can see everyone’s faces and bright colors again. Thank you to the CSC staff and the people who donated to help.”
