Ny is a 63-year-old grandmother. She’s married and has two daughters, three sons, and ten grandchildren. Her husband is a retired policeman. She is a full-time homemaker and likes to cook her family delicious Khmer meals and play with her grandchildren. Her favorite pastime is reading the news on her phone.
Four years ago, Ny developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her difficulty focusing, tearing, and photophobia. She is afraid to walk outside, because she has an unsteady gait, and does not want to fall.
When Ny learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 14th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope after surgery my eye will be better. I will be able to read on my phone, recognize my family’s faces, cook, and do housework again to help my family.”

Ny underwent cataract surgery so she can be active again.
Ny had a smooth and successful operation at our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). Surgery has improved her vision and she is so glad that she can now see the faces of her children and grandchildren. Her husband is very happy and also glad that she can see clearly again. She looks forward to cooking for her family and taking care of her grandchildren.
Ny said: “I am so happy my neighbors told me about CSC to have my eye fixed. I was afraid I would have bad vision for the rest of my life and have to stay indoors. Now, I can be independent again and go outside without being afraid I will fall. I would like to thank the surgeons and the people that made it possible for me to have this surgery.”
