Sinet is a 20-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He has four siblings and likes to listen to songs on the radio.
Six months ago, Sinet developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurry and cloudy vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sinet learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On March 12, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
