Thorn is an industrious 59-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He is married and has two sons, three daughters, and five grandchildren. horn is close to his family and takes pride in his ability to support them. In his free time, he enjoys watching TV and shepherding his cattle.
Three years ago, Thorn began to develop blurred vision, tearing, cloudy lenses, and itchy eyes. The symptoms affected his work and everyday life. He sought help at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), where he was diagnosed with cataract in both eyes.
The physicians at CSC have recommended a small incision cataract surgery and intraocular lens implant in each eye. These procedures will remove Thorn’s natural lenses and replace them with clear, artificial lenses. CSC is requesting $292 for his surgery set for February 21.
