Oeung is an eighty-five-year-old grandfather of twenty from Cambodia. He has four sons, one daughter, and enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio in his spare time.
Five months ago, Oeung developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him vision loss. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Oeung learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 23rd, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
“I hope that I will be able to see better so I can recognize things again and go outside on my own,” Oeung shared.

“I feel very happy that I can see everything and my relatives’ faces more clearly than before. I can easily do any work and I can go walking and go anywhere I want to outside on my own. I don’t need to have someone take care of me like before,” Oeung said.
