Oun is an 81-year-old rice farmer who is married and has one son and three grandchildren. He likes to join ceremonies at the pagoda.
Three years ago, Oun developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurred vision and tearing. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, working, and going anywhere outside.
When Oun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On December 15, doctors performed a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, Oun will be able to see clearly again. Now, he needs help to fund this $292 procedure.
“I hope that I can see everything more clearly,” he says, “so that I can go to the pagoda or anywhere else by myself.”
