Chheut is a 62-year-old home renovator and his wife sells groceries. They have two daughters, five sons, and eight grandchildren. Chheut likes to listen to the radio at home.
Chheut has developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Chheut learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled there with his daughter seeking treatment. On December 24th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Chheut said, “I hope after surgery I can see clear again so I can go outside by myself and help my wife sell her groceries.”

Chheut underwent eye surgery so he can see better.
Chheut’s surgery went very well! He traveled to our Medical Partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) to have his vision restored in his right eye. After a quick surgery by specialty eye surgeons, he was relieved that his vision improved immediately. He rested at home for several days and placed drops in his affected eye eight times a day. He and his family are pleased with the results. Chheut anticipates being able to return to home renovation work now that his vision has been restored and shared how happy he was to be seeing clearly again, which will make his day-to-day life easier.
