Vanna is a mother of four from Cambodia. She has two sons, two daughters, and now seven grandchildren. Vanna lives with her husband who is a retired teacher. She shared with us that she likes to listen to the monks praying on the radio.
Two years ago, Vanna developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Vanna learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours with her son seeking treatment. On December 16th, doctors will perform a 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.
Vanna said, “I need my eyes to see clearly so I can cook the best food for my husband and look after my grandchildren.”

Vanna underwent cataract surgery.
Vanna has returned home after a successful eye operation. She was given eye drops and an ointment to reduce any pain and prevent infection. At her post-operative visit, she felt good and her vision has already improved. Thanks to surgery, she will be able to go about her daily life with improved vision and assist with caring for her grandchildren and their home.
“I feel happy after surgery that I can see better. I can cook well now and take care of my grandchildren and do housework well. I want to be able to go to far places and help to teach my grandchildren,” she shared.
