Seng is a 68-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one son, one daughter, and four grandchildren. She likes listening to monks pray on the radio, reading the Buddhist religious text, and doing housework at her free time.
Six months ago, Seng developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Seng learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 29th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope that my surgery will recover my vision well. I want to see better so I can read, travel, and see my grandchildren grow up,” Seng said.

Seng underwent sight-restoring cataract surgery.
Seng’s surgery was successful! Her doctors removed the cataract in her left eye that was causing her blurry vision and making it difficult for her to walk. She can now see clearly and go anywhere outside. She will also be able to see her son, daughter, and four grandchildren. Her quality of life has improved significantly and she can read her favorite Buddhist religious texts. Seng was discharged from our medical partner’s care facility with eye drops and a followup appointment has been scheduled for her at their clinic.
“I feel very happy that my eye will not trouble me anymore. The first thing I noticed after surgery was how well I could recognize the face of my niece. Now I can continue to read Buddhist texts and travel easily with my children,” Seng shared.
