Chamroeun is a 55-year-old rice farmer with one daughter, five sons, and two grandchildren. He currently lives with his wife, a vegetable seller at the market. In his free time, Chamroeun enjoys listening to the news on the radio.
Three years ago, Chamroeun developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Chamroeun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On July 22nd, doctors will perform a cataract surgery and lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, Chamroeun will be able to see clearly. Now, CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Chamroeun shares, “I hope I can plant rice like before and help my wife sell vegetables at the market.”

Chamroeun underwent sight-restoring cataract surgery.
Chamroeun had a successful surgery to remove his cataract. He has returned to his home province, where he will rest and recover until he returns for a check-up at CSC. Chamroeun’s eyesight will continue to improve as he heals, and soon, he will be able to return to farming outside to support his family.
Chamroeun shares, “Thank you so much for helping my vision. I thought I would be blind in my eye forever, but you have given me hope to see my grandchildren grow. I can go outside, be more independent, and do more to feed my family.”
