Thou is a 77-years-old married woman from Cambodia. She has three sons, two daughters, and over ten grandchildren. In her free time, she likes to go to the pagoda and listen to monks pray. Thou heard about the Children’s Surgical Center (CSC), a Watsi medical partner, from a neighbor who had surgery there before. She traveled for two hours with her daughter to reach CSC for treatment.
Thou developed a cataract in each eye about one year ago, causing blurred vision and headaches. This makes it difficult for her to see things clearly, do any work, and go anywhere by herself.
After a small incision cataract surgery (SICS) and intraocular lens (IOL) implant in each eye, Thou will be able to see clearly again. $292 will cover the costs of the surgery and care Thou needs.
Thou says, “I hope I can see everything more clear than now so that I can easily do any work at home and I can go to the pagoda or anywhere else by myself without needing to disturb others to take care of me.”

Thou successfully received cataract surgery.
Thou, a 77-year-old grandmother from Cambodia, developed cataracts in her eyes which for a long time blurred her vision and made it difficult for her to get around with ease.
After traveling to the hospital from her rural village, Thou has now received successful cataract surgery! The doctors have removed her clouded lenses and is now on her way to a full recovery. Thou is back at home now and healing, and with some time, is expected to see a full restoration of her vision.
“I feel very happy that I can see everything clearly again,” shares Thou. “I can easily do any work at home and go to the pagoda or anywhere else by myself without needing to bother others to take care of me.”
